setec, a global leader in multidisciplinary engineering, has partnered with GTT to transform its network in France, reshaping its communications and connectivity while streamlining operations.

“Collaboration is at the heart of our success in the multidisciplinary engineering and construction projects we undertake,” said Laurent Cuny, group CIO at setec. “By working with GTT as our trusted partner to upgrade our network and implement SIP Trunking, we have not only achieved a 15% reduction in total cost of ownership and a 12- to 100-fold increase in bandwidth per site, but also greatly enriched the quality and speed of communication and cooperation between our engineers, staff and customers around the world.”

Working with GTT, setec has shifted from traditional telephony installations to running its voice services over internet connectivity, enhancing infrastructure efficiency across more than 1,000 telephone numbers. GTT SIP Trunking ensures setec’s critical voice traffic is routed seamlessly to the rest of the world using GTT’s global, fully redundant and robust SIP-based network with voice Session Border Controllers across 4 continents supporting a comprehensive footprint of local DIDs, emergency calling, number porting and toll-free numbers.

GTT has furthermore delivered a reliable, flexible, high-speed networking solution to setec. Each location features a primary WAN link to support all critical internal data flows, complemented by a secondary Dedicated Internet or broadband link for backup. This has allowed setec to move to a centralised data processing structure, consolidating servers from across its 20 sites to just five data centres.

“We are proud to be the catalyst for setec’s digital transformation journey,” said Tom Homer, president, Europe Division, GTT. “Working alongside one of the world leaders in multidisciplinary engineering, we’ve focused on delivering solutions that not only meet its immediate needs but also future proof the company’s operations. Our goal is to empower businesses like setec to simplify technology and how they can leverage it for efficiency and growth.”
