Family-Owned Construction Materials Supplier Adopts Telecom Solution

The Sunrock Group prides itself on being a privately-held, family-owned construction materials supplier with 65 years of experience in the industry. Unlike many of their competitors, Sunrock is vertically integrated – meaning they offer customers a one-stop shopping experience by producing aggregates, recycled aggregates, hot mix asphalt, and ready-mixed concrete at conveniently located quarries and production facilities in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area.

The Sunrock Group had a very unreliable network provider that connected their office locations and had an outdated frame relay system in place. The service was expensive, bandwidth was low, and uptime was inconsistent. Also, they relied on a variety of providers for the services they needed, which increased costs, time, and headaches. All of these issues diminished their customer service and tarnished their reputation.

“To help us build a better alternative we contacted Opex Technologies and challenged them to map out a new solution for our company that is faster, more cost effective, and to implement it without major interruptions to business. Opex Technologies met all 3 goals. 5 years later we are still on the same MPLS platform executed by Opex and other strategic partners.”
Jim Malone, Systems Administrator at Sunrock Group
