NetworkFlow

Currie & Brown, one of the world’s leading asset management and construction consultancies, has installed a private MPLS network from NetworkFlow and has secured twice as much bandwidth for half the price.

With its head office in London, Currie & Brown operates throughout the world and has offices in North and Central America, Europe, the Middle East, India and the Far East.  The MPLS network now links the firm’s London datacentre with its 10 UK locations which range from Glasgow to Plymouth, providing staff with greatly increased bandwidth at remote desktops.

Previously reliant on a BT IP Clear solution, Nigel Lackey, Servers and Network Administrator at Currie & Brown was looking for more bandwidth but at a cheaper price, as he explains:

“We went to tender and looked at a few solutions.  NetworkFlow were not only keener on price, they were also so fast moving.  As the rollout has taken shape this past 9 months, we’ve been really impressed with how accessible they are; that’s the benefit of dealing with a smaller company I guess.

“They really are proactive; when we moved into new premises recently they took control and provided an interim solution to ensure continuity of service.  They have the knowledge and contacts to get things done quickly and properly at a very competitive price. In the current downturn, you can’t ask for much more from a comms provider.”

David Alexander, Director of NetworkFlow, comments: “Currie and Brown provided NetworkFlow with an excellent example of how we can use our wide range of access technologies, combined with our product flexibility to deliver the optimal solution to the customer.  With wayleaves and excess construction charges becoming ever more prevalent in delaying network deployment, our choice of delivery methods and carrier partners enabled a timely delivery of the MPLS network.”
