CLAAS
Open Systems rolled out 3,650 additional remote connections in a week
CLAAS manufactures agricultural machines. Its founder, August Claas, first registered the company in 1913, originally producing powerful straw binders together with his brothers. In 1936, the combine harvester became inseparably linked to the CLAAS name. Thanks to their innovation and CLAAS harvester, they have become a recognized and respected international company with over 11,400 employees worldwide.
The Challenge
CLAAS needed to connect 3,650 new remote employees across three continents and 165 locations in seven days. No matter where employees work, their connection needed to be secure.
The Solution
CLAAS was already an Open Systems customer having chosen it for the simplicity and high degree of standardization that comes with an experienced provider of managed services. Open Systems rolled out all the connections on time and in exactly one week, providing a good stable solution for remote connectivity. The remote access gateways were activated on the existing Open Systems hardware appliances installed at various CLAAS locations in Germany, Hungary, United States, Russia, India, and Argentina.
