Marketing firm addresses connectivity challenges with Ultra-High Speed Data services

“Traditionally, we have just been a fiber customer with Spectrum Enterprise, but the relationship has been very good. So good, in fact, that when we wanted to expand into a managed WiFi solution, Spectrum Enterprise made the most sense.” — Bill Schmidt, IT Manager, EPIC Creative

EPIC Creative, a full-service marketing and advertising agency, needed to manage the skyrocketing bandwidth capacity demands that arose from developing data-heavy marketing presentations. They also needed to accommodate a team of highly mobile and energized creative people who wanted the freedom of working away from their desks.

To increase total bandwidth to meet current and anticipated future needs, EPIC Creative’s technology partner, Spectrum Enterprise, installed a high-speed Dedicated Fiber Internet (DFI) solution. A high performance, low latency Wavelength Services solution from Spectrum Enterprise gives EPIC Creative staff and visiting clients reliable connectivity at both EPIC Creative locations.

Having Spectrum Enterprise Wavelength fiber at both offices meets EPIC Creative’s need for an Ultra-High Speed Data solution. This significantly raised their level of network connectivity while providing more robust bandwidth across their entire workforce.

“We needed to get a modernized network built around newer, faster WiFi capabilities,” EPIC Creative IT Manager Bill Schmidt explains. “Having to run a lot of Ethernet cables around the office is not a productive use of anyone’s time. Also, no one wants to have clients noticing lag on their devices or waiting too long for a presentation to begin.”

Schmidt and his team can now run virtual private network work clusters in their offices without worrying about backhaul issues. They can also more easily support EPIC Creative staff as they develop their engagement with cloud technology, transporting vast quantities of data to and from a cloud server without fear of slowdowns.
