Qwest Case Study: Scottrade

To enhance its excellent service for its customers' 1.6 million accounts, Scottrade plans to expand its branches to 500 locations by 2010. One of the challenges that Scottrade faced was that these branches were located across the U.S., and calls needed to be routed rapidly between each branch and the corporate location in St. Louis, Missouri. As a financial services firm, Scottrade needed to meet stringent security requirements. Scottrade selected Qwest iQ Networking Private Port based on the service capabilities, cost efficiency, and the company's existing relationship with Qwest. The Qwest iQ Networking Private Port MPLS-based network connects the nearly 300 Scottrade branches with the company headquarters in Missouri.
