Zacks Investment Research | Nov 13, 2018 08:34PM ET
Windstream Holdings, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:WIN) business segment, Windstream Enterprise, recently announced that its SD-WAN Concierge has been implemented by an undisclosed U.S.-based national logistics and delivery transport company. Notably, this facilitates uninterrupted connectivity across 80 locations as well as terminal operations in more than 30 states, enabling the delivery firm to conduct its complex network operations.
With the implementation of Windstream’s SD-WAN with dual access, the firm has significantly improved network reliability. Also, its management portal has helped the firm to simplify troubleshooting problems apart from resolving network issues. This allows the firm to better serve its customers during its tight delivery schedules. As a matter of fact, this solution will offer the firm real-time visibility into its operations, thus enhancing productivity.
Existing Business Scenario
Windstream is seeking diversification from legacy telecom services to more business, enterprise and wholesale opportunities. To meet this end, the company has made a significant financial investment to upgrade its network and product portfolio, including significant advances in software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) capabilities and a new Cloud Core architecture. In addition, the acquisitions of EarthLink and Broadview have also played a major role in boosting the company’s SD-WAN and cloud suite.
Windstream is realigning its wireless network toward a software-centric model to meet increasing business demands and customer needs. The service provider’s SD-WAN service is experiencing robust demand from customers across different sectors like regional banking, healthcare, retail and manufacturing. The launch of a multi-featured SD-WAN solution and its cloud-to-cloud disaster recovery management solutions should rake in considerable profits.
