“Faster delivery, cost savings and guaranteed network availability is a reality for setec, thanks to GTT,” said Laurent Cuny, Group CIO at setec. “The resilience and low latency of our improved connectivity with GTT has allowed us to migrate workloads from 20 local servers to just five central data center locations — making us more productive, saving money and helping reduce our carbon footprint.”

The engineering firm partnered with GTT to implement a faster, more resilient network solution for data and voice that helps connect its people across France.

Through GTT’s consultative approach, setec was provided with a solution designed to address its mission-critical objective with the implementation of a reliable, flexible, high-speed networking and connectivity solution.

Each location features a primary MPLS link to support all critical internal data flows, complemented by a secondary Dedicated Internet or broadband link for resiliency and disaster recovery. This has allowed the company to move to a centralized data processing structure, consolidating servers from across its 20 sites in France to just five data centers in major French cities.

By integrating setec’s business-critical communications with GTT SIP Trunking, the company’s voice traffic is now routed directly to Microsoft Teams. The solution replaced traditional telephony installations. With this implementation, setec has further improved its collaboration and infrastructure efficiency by moving its voice services to run over Internet Protocol, providing clear, reliable communication.

Throughout, GTT has supported the company’s ongoing digital transformation projects, as well as day-to-day operations, with dedicated Professional Services. GTT Service Management ensures setec receives proactive analysis and network performance reporting, supporting its team with the insights to drive continuous improvement and adapt to evolving business goals.
