It also enables customer acquisition, retention and ownership experience, and drives growth, price and performance value, and brand equity.
Colt has undertaken various digital innovations to meet evolving enterprise needs as a leading service provider in Europe. The company’s SD WAN solution is built on a strong underlay network infrastructure, competitive end-to-end SLAs in the European market, and multiple new features, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over SD WAN, remote access, and improved uCPE VNF, differentiating it in the industry. With enhanced service efficiency in remote working and migration of critical workloads to the cloud, Colt helps increase customer loyalty.
“The company launched its Universal CPE (uCPE) in 2019 as an additional delivery mechanism for the SD WAN service.
