Kingspan Light, Air + Water has grown rapidly through acquisitions, leaving it with a fragmented network of multiple contracts, vendors and compliance requirements across 100 locations in 22 countries.
Previously, multiple contracts, vendors and compliance requirements created complexity, with local changes often going unreported - leading to missed renewals, undocumented modifications and poor visibility into network health.
This made diagnosing issues and distinguishing application problems from infrastructure failures extremely difficult.
To overcome these challenges, Kingspan Light, Air + Water partnered with Expereo to deliver a fully managed global connectivity solution.
Expereo was chosen for its ability to design, implement, transition and support a single, standardised network under one agreement.
The solution combines broadband, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services to ensure robust business continuity - essential for production sites that make up a third of Kingspan Light, Air + Water’s global footprint.
At the heart of the solution is expereoOne, Expereo’s NaaS platform, which gives Kingspan Light, Air + Water a single view of its entire network.
The platform enables the IT team to monitor performance, track delivery dates, manage trouble tickets and deactivate services digitally. It also simplifies ordering and invoicing, making it easy to view quotes, place orders and maintain full transparency across all sites.
Expereo CEO, Ben Elms, said the company will support the next phase of Kingspan Light, Air + Water’s digital transformation.
“Global businesses face huge challenges managing fragmented networks across multiple regions - and our fully managed service combined with the expereoOne platform deliver the visibility and control Kingspan Light, Air + Water needs,” Elms said.
“By providing a single source of truth for all sites and services – we’re removing complexity, strengthening resilience and giving the organisation the security to scale and innovate without worrying about network risk."
The head of Infrastructure & Cyber Security at Kingspan Light, Air + Water, Fergal Moore, said expereoOne has transformed the company’s global network and how it is managed.
“For the first time - we now have a single view of all services, contracts and performance across every site. This gives us confidence, control and the ability to make decisions quickly – putting us in the best place to capitalise on our growth ambitions,” Moore said.
