Telegamma Opts for WatchGuard’s All-in-One Unified Security
The Challenge
For over 40 years, Telegamma has worked on the consulting, design, installation, maintenance, and management of IT and network infrastructures for private companies and public agencies.
The company’s journey began in Treviso, Italy in 1981, when it installed the city’s first private telephone exchanges. Its specializations expanded over time, resulting in Telegamma becoming a strategic partner for its customers’ business development, offering solutions and consultancy relating to unified communication & collaboration, the Cloud, networking, and IT security. Today, the company has a strong presence in northeast Italy, with four operational offices in Treviso, Padua, Trento, and Pordenone.
In 2000, Telegamma was moving ahead of the times by offering cybersecurity solutions when all-in-one approaches simply did not exist on the market.
The company had been on a long-term hunt for a brand that could unify firewall, inter-VLAN routing, network security, VPN, and endpoint security services using a simple interface,
both for service configuration and log analysis, and that could offer advanced access services like multi-factor authentication (MFA).
One of Telegamma’s critical requirements was that the vendor should offer a structured service with ready-made pre-sales support available, and be ready to grasp and anticipate market needs.
The Solution
Right away, Telegamma chose to offer its customers WatchGuard Firebox T Series and M Series firewalls. As the WatchGuard product offering expanded, Telegamma also added endpoint security and MFA solutions.
“WatchGuard was the right choice for us because of its complete range of hardware and software, primarily focused on the SMB market, as well as its performance, product reliability (including entry-level products), and ease of management,” explained Dividino Gamma, CEO of Telegamma. “The WatchGuard pre-sales team supported us on several occasions and visited end customers with us during our most complex projects. Every time we did a shared presentation, customers confirmed their orders. The Unified Security Platform and the training offered by WatchGuard helped us in the onboarding phase and made the task of presenting solutions to customers quick and effective.”
The Results
WatchGuard products get excellent reviews from Telegamma customers: many local SMBs praise their firewalls, endpoint security solutions, and multi-factor authentication solutions.
“Since we started using WatchGuard, we have seen growth in our business and a significant reduction in customer service calls. There was immediate clarity in the relationship with WatchGuard, which made us even more positive about proposing their solutions. Because of this, we have strengthened our partnership with WatchGuard even further in a relatively short time, and are now Gold partners.”
