EarthLink Showcases Importance of Business and Cloud Network Optimization to Win Demanding Tech-Savvy Omni-Channel Consumers ...
January 18 2016 - 8:48AM
Delivering against customer expectations has always been important
to retail success. But today, customer expectations have given way
to customer demands. At the NRF Annual Convention & EXPO,
EarthLink will share its plans to empower retailers to get off to a
fast start meeting those demands. EarthLink will showcase the role
smarter, highly optimized networks play in delivering cloud-driven
services that support superior in-store and online experiences to
finicky tech-savvy buyers.
Building Smarter Networks will be the theme for EarthLink, a
leading network services provider dedicated to enabling retailers
to deliver great customer experiences. EarthLink will showcase how
smarter networks are instrumental to transforming the way retailers
serve and interact with customers to win their trust, favor and
ongoing loyalty.
“Retailers are accelerating their move to the cloud,” said Rick
C. Froehlich, executive vice president and chief commercial
officer, EarthLink. “The Network has to keep pace with this. As a
pioneer in building and delivering network services, EarthLink can
help retailers accelerate this move in a secure and cost effective
manner with hybrid network models, which include MPLS, IPsec,
SD-WAN, and other forms of network-as-a service.”
EarthLink will use its presence at Retail’s BIG Show to connect
with industry leaders to discuss their needs, and the increasing
importance of cloud-based services geared to supporting both
consumers and store associates. All of which ties directly to the
value the network plays in enabling retailers to adopt the latest
technology trends, drive productivity, and enhance customer and
employee experiences. Among those trends, the company will also
cover the emergence of SD-WAN, which will soon become the platform
of choice for even more agile, customer centric networks.
EarthLink will showcase a variety of solutions to optimize,
accelerate and secure essential cloud-based applications, data, and
real-time interactions, including:
- Cloud Express, for improved performance of SaaS apps hosted
with leading cloud vendors
- Application Performance Optimization, to cost effectively add
bandwidth while gaining visibility and control
- Security and Compliance services to protect retailers from
damage from retail data breaches
- Secure WiFi to empower shoppers and mobile apps to enhance and
speed the in-store experience
- Hosted Voice and Contact Center solutions for improved customer
support and responsiveness
- A range of current/coming network solutions, including MPLS,
Hybrid Networks and SD-WAN
- Professional Services to select and build the ideal
network/vendor infrastructure for your needs
EarthLink will also introduce their new Cloud and Network
Maturity Assessment tool, enabling retailers to assess their
progress moving towards a customer-centric hosted environment.
EarthLink’s believes retailers that intelligently make this
transition will continue to win the hearts, minds and wallets of
tech savvy omni-channel shoppers.
