In today’s digital-first environment, uptime is everything — especially for a business like Snap, where speed, precision, and reliability are critical. With 16 locations across Ireland, Snap has evolved from a traditional print provider into one of Ireland’s most trusted creative services providers, delivering high-quality design, print, and marketing solutions to help businesses grow their brand. That transformation has made connectivity the backbone of its operations.
But how does Snap ensure key locations stay online, secure, and connected at all times?
The answer: ROCTEL’s ROCSOLID solution — a comprehensive service built for unmatched network reliability, complete with built-in Cyber Defence and Hyper Cloud capabilities — powered by Cisco technology.
Embracing Technology to Evolve the Business
“What’s been inspiring is looking at how Snap have embraced technology as it emerged,” says Brian Walsh, Owner of Route 2. “The big jump was moving from analog traditional printing to digital printing and digital design. That move to digital has really meant a huge reliance on internet connectivity at the heart of the business in all Snap centers.”
This shift mirrors a broader trend across the print and creative services industry: a move toward fully digital workflows. As customers increasingly expect on-demand, data-driven, and highly customized design and printing services, companies like Snap have had to modernize not just their equipment — but their entire infrastructure.
From high-speed data transfers to cloud-based collaboration, downtime simply isn’t an option.
According to a recent report from The Guardian, nearly 78% of companies now rate digital transformation and secure connectivity as top priorities for the upcoming years — highlighting just how critical cybersecurity and network reliability have become in today’s business landscape.
ROCSOLID Connectivity: Always On, Always Monitored
To meet these demands, Snap partnered with ROCTEL to deploy ROCSOLID Connectivity across three of its key locations: Snap IFSC, Snap Dun Laoghaire (Wicklow) , and Snap Sandyford.
“One of the things that really appealed to me is that ROCSOLID is there 24/7,” Brian adds. “If we have a partner providing a critical service, we must be able to reach them in case we have an issue — and that’s exactly what ROCTEL delivers.”
Powered by Cisco. Backed by ROCTEL.
ROCTEL is proud to be the only Cisco-Powered managed service provider with global designation in Ireland. This means Snap is backed by world-class networking infrastructure and security standards — without needing in-house IT teams to manage it.
“Our technology, process and people are aligned to one goal: delivering seamless business continuity,” says Cormac Reid, Founder & Director at ROCTEL. “We understand that the business outcomes our clients are striving for are critical to their bottom line — and we take that personally.”
Across All Sites: Trusted by Leadership
At Snap Wicklow, Managing Director Emma Kearney shares a similar sentiment:
“We have total peace of mind now. Whether it’s a storm or any other issue, we know we don’t have to worry — it’s business as usual. Once the ROCTEL engineer came in and installed what was needed, we were up and running, and we haven’t looked back since.”
Whether it’s a customer presentation, a production deadline, or internal collaboration, Snap can count on ROCTEL to keep their network ROCSOLID.
As a carrier-neutral provider, ROCTEL isn’t tied to any single telecom network, allowing us to design the most resilient and flexible connectivity solution for each customer site. This approach helps eliminate single points of failure and enhances uptime reliability.
Support is also never far away. ROCTEL operates a Network Management Centre (NMC) based in Dublin, delivering 24/7 real-time monitoring, proactive issue resolution, and direct access to expert engineers. For Snap, that means any potential issue is identified — and addressed — before it ever impacts operations.
