Overview Strack, Inc. is one of the largest and most respected utility contractors in the state of Georgia. In order to increase the company's productivity and efficiency, they deployed rugged laptops to remote field crews so that they could upload daily labor, production and maintenance reports. Upon deployment, they discovered that their legacy VPN performed poorly over wireless and low bandwidth networks. Mobility XE Mobile VPN resolved these issues, improving application performance and allowing Strack to increase crew productivity while reducing IT support requests and network complexity.
