Carlsberg Group, operating globally across Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, and Asia, faced significant IT challenges due to fragmented systems. Many IT solutions were implemented at a regional level, lacking central oversight and creating inconsistencies in management, security, and scalability. The decentralized approach made it difficult to establish a unified IT strategy and ensure secure, efficient global operations. Carlsberg needed a solution that could unify its IT infrastructure, streamline management, and enhance security to support its global footprint.
ITPro partnered with Carlsberg Group to implement a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution from Cato Networks, creating a new global networking backbone. The SASE solution provided Carlsberg with a secure, unified network infrastructure that replaced the fragmented regional systems. This new backbone complemented Carlsberg’s broader IT unification strategy, including a recent consolidation of its Active Directory. ITPro ensured a seamless deployment of the SASE solution, empowering Carlsberg to manage its global IT operations more efficiently and securely.
The adoption of Cato Networks’ SASE solution transformed Carlsberg Group’s IT operations. The new unified system is easier to manage, offering enhanced security and aligning perfectly with Carlsberg’s strategy for a more cohesive IT environment. By consolidating its network infrastructure, Carlsberg improved operational efficiency while reducing complexity. The secure, global backbone provided a robust foundation for the company’s worldwide operations, enabling scalability and improved oversight. Thanks to ITPro’s expertise, Carlsberg achieved a streamlined and secure IT ecosystem that supports its global growth and innovation.
