Case study: Friends Provident

Friends Provident reunited - thanks to CableCom.

As one of the UK's leading mutual insurance and investment companies, Friends Provident wanted to update their networks and standardise them across their regional sites, which stretch from Edinburgh and Belfast down to the South of England.

Why they chose CableCom Networking

As we offer a complete solution, from initial design to implementation and network management, Friends Provident knew they would only have to deal with one supplier.
Friends Provident wanted minimal disruption to their business and knew CableCom Networking placed great importance on seamless networking solutions.
We have the expertise to be able to design and install communication rooms, vital to the success of this networking project.

Our solution

We completed an extensive cabling refurbishment across fourteen Friends Provident sites. This included cabling, patch panels and cords. We replaced IBM cabling with Siemon Modular Outlets and also included the migration of voice circuits. We have also updated the structured networks at three of Friends Provident regional headquarters, and have fitted out a substantial number of communication rooms. We completed work seamlessly with zero crossover disruption to Friends Provident's normal operations, by working during out of office hours. Friends Provident now has an up-to-the-minute networking solution. The system is future proof and networks have been standardised across a number of Friends Provident sites.

"CableCom is a professional organisation. They have been flexible, reliable and conscientious in their work for Friends Provident."
