With some of the world's top pharmaceuticals in its product portfolio, AstraZeneca has a leading market position and invests heavily in research and development to maintain this position. With over 60,000 employees worldwide and a broad range of mission-critical research applications and transactions, there are exceptional demands placed on the IT organisation in the areas of availability, security and responsiveness. By integrating the latest MCI MPLS solutions with a public VPN, AstraZeneca is also at the leading edge in IT and communications. AstraZeneca's strategy is to maintain its leading position in all areas and the company has a bright future. Today the legacy network continues to be run in parallel with the MPLS and VPN solutions, but within a short time the transition will be complete. The detailed planning and preparations, underpinned by clear objectives and careful supplier and solution selection, has resulted in a very smooth transition.
