Webinar: Managing Your Network Infrastructure for Growth: An Enterprise Case Study.
International architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox, designers of Toronto’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel, grew by 350 per cent between 1997 and 2007. As the company grew, its local area network and its telephony system became outdated and unable to handle the demands of the business. In addition, with offices on four continents, KPF wanted to function as a single organization.

Can your network infrastructure support your business needs – now, and in the future?  Host and moderator Rafael Ruffolo ComputerWorld Canada, joined by Darryl Wilson, Area Practice Director, Dimension Data Canada, and David Senf, Director, Infrastructure Solutions Group, IDC Canada discuss how KPF used IP telephony, a LAN refresh, and third-party support to prepare its network for future growth and best practices on choosing and working with managed services providers.
