The Solution

CBRE’s Network Advisory Services team was engaged to perform a Network / IT Needs Assessment, Baseline Audit and devise a plan to optimize the organization’s network infrastructure moving forward. The initial assessment revealed that the company was utilizing MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network infrastructure that was both underpowered from a bandwidth perspective and more expensive than newer technologies available on the market.

CBRE worked to create a detailed request for proposal (RFP) structured around the client’s specific criteria and geographic requirements, which ultimately helped the hospitality organization identify the most economically competitive approach.

To improve the end-user experience and consolidate vendors across the portfolio, the Network Advisory Services team recommended the company upgrade to TPx’s SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) technology. With the proposed SD-WAN technology, the hotel brand could benefit from guaranteed performance delivered over the cloud that creates seamless enterprise connectedness.

The Results

The international hospitality company implemented TPx’s SD-WAN technology and streamlined their telecommunications across their global footprint. By partnering with CBRE and TPx, the global hotel brand benefited from: n Increased operational efficiency at a lower cost.

  • Combined total annual savings of more than $300,000
