Subsea 7
Simplifying and
streamlining operations
By migrating Subsea 7 to a newer version
of Skype for Business and adding voice
connectivity that the organisation did
not previously have, HPE has enabled a
higher level of workplace productivity while
reducing the company’s telecommunications
operating costs. Subsea 7 now has a unified
communications system with a single-source
supplier, providing the organisation with a
more eicient cost structure.
“One of the reasons that we selected HPE
services was that the consultants who were
involved in selling the solution would also
manage the implementation,” says Leport.
“The HPE consultants gave us a lot of
confidence in their ability to understand our
objectives and deliver on them.”
HPE also integrated Subsea 7’s unified
communications implementation with
critical suppliers and customers. “Because
we federated our implementation with
deployments by other companies that we
do business with, employees can easily
understand the availability of people
across multiple companies. This has led to
streamlined communications and easier
and faster scheduling of meetings and
conferences,” explains Leport.
Subsea 7 is also driving down the costs of
mobility. According to Leport, “We operate
in parts of the world where mobile calling
is expensive, such as in Africa and Latin
America. This deployment is freeing people
from their desks and allowing them to place
international calls from a Skype for Business
client on a mobile phone at the cost of a local
call because they connect to the Internet
through one of our local facilities. This gives
us the potential to make savings on mobile
voice calls moving forward.”
By migrating to a unified platform,
Subsea 7 has achieved a universally
compatible communications solution that
supports its Skype for Business-enabled
users throughout the organisation, all at a
lower cost than before.
With its new disaster recovery solution, even
if one data centre goes down, the other three
data centres can keep operations running
smoothly to ensure 100% uptime. “This
unified communications solution has enabled
more eicient intra- and inter-company
communications for Subsea 7 and allowed
us to increase our communications and
collaboration capabilities while lowering our
communications costs,” Leport concludes.
