The challenge
Alpi UK Ltd operates across five sites, four in the UK and one in Poland, supporting around 200 users who depend on stable, secure connectivity between offices and cloud platforms. Their existing Sophos firewall estate had grown inconsistent over time, creating mismatched configurations, weaker performance at certain sites, and no centralised visibility. Managing policies and troubleshooting issues had become increasingly complex, and supporting the Polish site remotely added further operational difficulty.
What Sprint did
Sprint Integration designed and deployed a standardised firewall solution using WatchGuard Firebox appliances across all five locations. Firewalls were pre-configured and fully tested before rollout, with UK sites migrated sequentially outside business hours to rationalise and standardise existing configurations. For the Poland site, the firewall was pre-configured, shipped directly with plug-in instructions, and installed on-site by non-technical staff, removing the need for on-site engineering. Secure site-to-site VPN connectivity was then established across all locations, backed by centralised management through WatchGuard Cloud.
The results
