Insurance

Insurance companies, like other financial institutions, must manage, share, monitor and archive significant amounts of data – all in real time.  Companies’ networks must enable seamless information  sharing and immediate access to data for their employees to administer customer accounts.   Today, many insurance companies also require networks that can transmit data between their own networks and networks operated by their underwriters and other partners.

The success of insurance companies today also depends on customer satisfaction.  To stay competitive and reduce churn, many companies are investing in online tools, resources and portals that give consumers access to the information they need and enable stronger customer relationships.

Exinda’s global team of professionals has helped insurance companies around the world to manage, and monitor this constant flow of data, both internally and with customers. The Exinda WAN optimization solutions allow network administrators to easily set rules and parameters for data management across the network to maximize network performance and to ensure the company’s operations are in compliance with regulations for data handling and privacy.

The Exinda network optimization solutions also allow administrators to deliver a seamless online experience for their customers. With Exinda, companies can support online processes for customer acquisition, on-boarding, claims processing, payment tracking and other services without compromising the performance of their back-end systems.

With Exinda, network administrators can optimize their networks to:

Utilities

Utility companies are being challenged to use their communications networks to support increasingly complex applications, including monitoring and managing power deliver to homes and businesses, real time communication with customers to help reduce electricity usage and costs.  In many countries, utility companies are implementing Smart Grid applications with real time, secure Quality of Service (Qos) that ensures priority for critical functions without compromising customer-facing applications or head office systems.

The Exinda WAN optimization tool increases performance in utility networks by prioritizing network traffic based on the utility’s specific requirements. It allows network operators to implement policy-based QoS  and use real time monitoring in the network. By optimizing the bandwidth in their current networks, utilities can reduce or even eliminate the need to invest in new infrastructure to support Smart Grid and other new technologies.

With the Exinda WAN optimization appliance, utilities can solve their biggest application delivery challenges. Exinda’s real time monitoring measures:

• usage statistics
• peak traffic times
• high bandwidth applications and users
• performance issues or failure in the system

With this information, utilities can ensure prioritization and seamless transmission of essential communications and services across their networks and maximize the return on their investment in their network infrastructure.

Retail

Networking technologies provide retailers with highly effective tools to reach consumers, both online and at the point of purchase.  From streaming video to interactive displays and demonstrations to mobile payment processes, retailers are finding ways to improve their customers’ experience and to influence and accelerate buying decisions both in-store and online.

At the same time, consumers now expect to be able to use a growing variety of payment methods for their purchases.

The challenge for network administrators is to ensure they have enough available bandwidth in their network to support new marketing methods and customer-facing applications, without impeding the speed or security of payment transactions that use the same network.

Exinda’s bandwidth management tools, retailers can optimize their network to handle increased data in their networks. Using Exinda’s network appliances, administrators can establish rules for the handling of traffic within the network, giving priority to critical, confidential and time-sensitive information such as data for financial transactions. Parameters can easily be set and adjusted to comply with the varying network security and certificate requirements for the various payment methods that retailers offer their customers.

Exinda has also helped retailers to implement mobile transactions within their stores, which requires seamless management and data transfer between both wireless and wired networks.

With Exinda, network administrators can optimize their networks to:

• Accelerate applications
• Control network access
• Increase network speed and performance
• Monitor and prioritize network traffic
