Toyota were looking for a way to improve connectivity to their central systems for their network of approximately 250 franchised
retail dealers. The solution needed to be cost-effective, efficient and meet the needs of each individual dealer, whilst improving the client experience.
The Requirement
Toyota were looking at options for providing connectivity for their retailers to TGB Central Systems for a 3-year period. Each dealer had free choice of the method of connecting to Toyota’s private network, which meant that we had to propose a multiverse of
technologies dynamically suited to each dealer and their individual networking requirement, from ADSL circuits to IPsec
VPN’s and dedicated fibre lines with diverse resilience for the HQ.
The Solution
Ultima and Convergence Group proposed a pro-active managed WAN service that aimed to govern and report on the active network of all 250 retail dealers, whilst maximising efficiency and quality of service. By first understanding Toyota’s situation, drivers and future, Ultima and Convergence
Group devised a bespoke networking solution that was perfectly suited to the short and longer-term needs of not just Toyota but each individual dealer across the UK.
