SSP, the international food travel expert, has announced it has successfully modernised the applications of food giants such as Burger King and Starbucks across the UK, which it franchises alongside its own brands, Upper Crust and Millie’s Cookies, thanks to its partnership with Zen Internet.
For a large and geographically diverse business, ageing connectivity became a major obstacle for SSP. After kicking off a network expansion programme that was driven by a need to sunset old copper technology and gratify bandwidth-hungry applications, a new solution was needed to continue success and expansion.
As one of the largest B Corp accredited technology service providers in the UK, Zen was tasked to build a service to meet the varied needs of modern application requirements constrained by their traditional networking model. Having identified SD-WAN as the solution, the two companies worked together to develop and implement a new product that is now rolled out across the majority of SSP’s UK locations.
“We’ve been operating with Zen as a partner for nearly 15 years and throughout the pandemic, so knew its networking pedigree was the best fit for our new SD-WAN solution,” said Francisco Castillo, Head of Infrastructure at SSP Group. “With such a comprehensive and complex task, Zen has remained extremely effective in terms of communication and relationship management which has allowed us to keep on track and achieve our goals. As a result, we’re on track to migrate all 600 locations to SD-WAN in the next year.”
