ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GTT Communications Inc., a leading networking and security as a service provider for multinational organizations, today announced that it has been chosen by HR Path, a global leader in HR consulting and HRIS solutions, to provide high-performance network connectivity critical to maintaining the availability and performance of its cloud-based HR services as part of its strategic global digital transformation initiative.
HR Path is working on a new network architecture that is both agile and safe. This will let the company grow quickly around the world and offer high-performance, cloud-based HR services. GTT will provide its strong global connection services, such as Dedicated Internet Access, to 40 HR Path facilities on four continents. The most important sites are in Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. The GTT Envision platform will give HR Path a worldwide base that can grow and stay the same, which will make it easy for them to roll out their SD-WAN and security plan later on.
The deal also includes the use of GTT EnvisionEDGE devices, which combine networking and security capabilities. This makes deployment faster, site layout simpler, and interaction with GTT EnvisionCORE easier. These devices are suitable for SD-WAN and Managed Firewall, which means that HR Path can turn on features as needed. Managed and Professional Services also help with project and service management to make sure that HR Path’s worldwide teams can deploy things smoothly and keep things running well.
HR Path’s business model, which includes HR consulting, payroll outsourcing, and HRIS solutions, needs a strong and dependable network to serve its cloud-based services and operations around the world. To keep service quality high for its business clients, it is important to make sure that performance is consistent across continents.
Olivier Dudon, CIO of HR Path, said, “In a global market that is changing quickly, our clients rely on us for streamlined HR processes, better compliance, and a better employee experience. All of these things depend on our network performance.” “By choosing GTT, we are getting a high-quality underlay network that is necessary for the success of our full SD-WAN and security strategy in the future.” GTT is the best partner for HR Path since it has a lot of experience handling projects that are spread out over many sites or around the world.
GTT’s ongoing efforts to expand its global reach1 are in line with HR Path’s vision for global growth. HR Path has received a record 500 million euros in capital investment to speed up its growth in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific area.2 HR Path is cementing its place as a “one-stop shop for HR” by making smart purchases and building infrastructure that can grow with its “Advise, Implement & Run” business model.
“This strategic partnership with HR Path shows how good GTT is at making complex digital transformations happen at the enterprise level,” stated Tom Homer, President of GTT’s Europe Division. “We give HR Path the secure, reliable, and high-performance foundation it needs to drive global digital business transformation through our managed networking services.” This alliance fits with the trend in the market of businesses improving their network cores to accommodate flexible, cloud-first architectures.
