In UC, clients need the tools, processes, and infrastructure to consistently leverage high-quality UCaaS solutions and user experiences
Additionally, West’s Maxxis Application Aware Network provides enterprise-class network infrastructure to install connectivity for centralized, cloud-based applications. The company’s network provides intelligent application-based routing, sophisticated management and control, and unprecedented network performance in a single Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) solution.
To illustrate a compelling case study, one of West’s clients, Methode, a manufacturer of custom-engineered and application specific products and solutions, wanted to move a few of its production processes to Asia. This presented a challenge for Methode’s already aging and piecemealed communications infrastructure. West Unified Communications Services was approached by Methode to provide assistance in their network situation. Subsequently, West boosted the performance, resiliency, and transparency of the communications infrastructure by implementing the Maxxis Application Network. Maxxis consolidated all the traffic onto a single, easy-to-manage network infrastructure and proved to be a completely private, fast, and flexible solution that allowed Methode to prioritize voice, video, and data applications.
West has demonstrated the ability to not only identify, prioritize, and pursue emerging growth opportunities, but also lead the market in terms of industry innovation. Due to rapid transition, the sectors of UC, including hosted audio, web, and video conferencing as well as managed video conferencing services are expected to experience varying growth rates over the next decade. Forging ahead, West looks to capitalize on the opportunities that are expected to be spurred by high growth rates of new services and commoditization of mature technologies.
