Tata Starbucks Private Limited: "We were facing a lot of challenges related to network availability and looking for a solution that could offer network resiliency and also enable us to track consumer behaviours in our stores. IZOTM SDWAN looked as a perfect solution with promising benefits. Having previously worked with Tata Communications,we know about their customer centric culture,technological capabilities,market reach (especially in tier-2,tier-3 cities) and chose them as our preferred partner to implement IZOTM SDWAN. Since they already knew our business well,the time-to-market is much faster compared to other service providers.
