"Stride Rite conducted a comprehensive evaluation of several private and public network solutions," said Yusef Akyuz, CIO of The Stride Rite Corporation. "The Equant and GoRemote solution not only addresses our service level concerns, but it exceeds expectations as the best solution on the market to meet Stride Rite's retail business needs."
Stride Rite Children's Group President Pam Salkovitz, added, "Our customers trust Stride Rite for best fit and service. This solution will result in enhanced services to our loyal customers."
"Having real-time access to customer and internal data contributes to the success of retailers," said Sean Connolly, senior vice president at Equant. "Leveraging the alliance between Equant and GoRemote will give The Stride Rite Corporation a competitive advantage by enabling them to better serve their customers and to always be ahead of ongoing shifts in retail business."
"When Stride Rite looked to reliably connect its store locations while providing secure access to its corporate networks, they realized that the Equant and GoRemote solution meets those needs, while increasing internal productivity and customer satisfaction," said Tom Thimot, GoRemote president and CEO. "Our solution offers companies such as Stride Rite the reliability and security of a private network with the cost savings structure of the public Internet."
Last month Equant teamed with GoRemote to complete its existing Small Office Solutions portfolio with Advantage DSL, powered by GoRemote Branch Office(TM), a public Internet backbone IP VPN solution. By combining their robust broadband performance, cost-effective IP VPN technology and proactive network monitoring services, the Equant and GoRemote alliance provides companies with a complete, fully managed IP VPN solution for connecting dispersed branch offices and retail locations to corporate data centers and networks.
