Sprint Helps PETCO Put A Leash On Technology Costs

Due to the current economic climate, PETCO, like many other companies, was looking for every possible way to contain its information technology operational costs. One lingering pain point for the company was the monthly cost of telecommunications for back-up Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) connections at their distribution and retail locations, which were rarely used for data connectivity.

After considering multiple (other) providers, based on existing relationships, PETCO turned to Sprint in June of 2009 to take on the challenge to provide a comprehensive solution that addressed a number of complex requirements. By handling the staging, testing, project management, specialized fulfi llment services, coverage enhancements and on-site installation, the solution provided by Sprint improved the performance and connectivity at each location while minimizing the impact to daily operations during the threemonth rollout.
