8X8 CASE STUDY Transportation and Logistics Provider Accelerates UCaaS Solution By Up To 20X with Aryaka UCaaS (Unified Communications as-a-Service) is expected to reach $167.1 billion in market size by 2025. As a single integrated solution for all things collaboration, from email and video conferencing to file sharing and directory services, UCaaS has become an essential tool for global enterprises. Replacing on-prem UC with UCaaS, however, comes with a condition: it’s only as good as the network it’s delivered upon. A well-performing UCaaS service can mean better collaboration and improved productivity for a company, while dropped calls, distorted video and slow-to-send files can result in the opposite. UCaaS solutions are especially prone to packet loss, latency and jitter – the public internet can’t support UCaaS performance and purchasing private circuits can be prohibitively expensive. Aryaka’s managed SD-WAN solution, however, was built for a cloud-first world. Our cloud-native private network provides enterprise-grade connectivity enabling reliable UCaaS performance globally. The Challenge When a US-based transportation and logistics company initiated a company-wide digital transformation project, improving the performance of 8x8, their UCaaS solution, was key to the first phase of their plan. In order to address this issue, as well as futureproof their network for future cloud-based and SaaS application deployments, the company needed to transform their core on-premises network. The Solution After deploying Aryaka SmartConnect, the company experienced major improvements in their 8x8 traffic, including: 1. 93% data reduction and an increase in application performance by up to 20X. The figure below shows the data between Amsterdam and Ashburn, Virginia. 8X8 / CASE STUDY 1
