Partnerships with leading suppliers to offer global access for multinational customers
Telstra International, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) a leading global provider of managed networked solutions, has struck partnerships with COLT in Europe and South Africa’s Internet Solutions (IS) to expand its footprint globally. The partnerships enable the company to provide fast, secure access and managed services for its multinational customers in some of the most strategically important markets in the world.
The announcement follows Telstra International’s partnership with UAE supplier du®, announced late in 2008, to provide connectivity between Dubai and Europe. The reciprocal agreements with COLT and IS will also enable customers based in these regions to access Telstra’s industry-leading Next-IP™ network to connect into Asia.
Simon Vye, CEO Telstra International EMEA comments: “Markets such as South Africa are natural choices for many of our global customers that are considering increased international expansion and service outsourcing. Thanks to these new partnerships, Telstra International’s services will continue to meet the changing demands of international enterprise.”
Telstra International’s partnership with COLT will provide advanced connectivity into the major business centres of Western Europe, including France, Germany and Italy. These business hubs also act as a gateway to the growing economies of Eastern Europe, offering new strategic opportunities for business growth.
Vye continues: “Network resilience is crucial in today’s business world and many organisations simply cannot afford network downtime, for compliance as well as financial reasons. Telstra International only partners with other tier one suppliers in order to offer our customers the resilience and demanding service level agreements they have come to expect when working with us.”
A range of enhanced network services including IP-VPN to ensure business productivity on a global scale is available to Telstra International customers through access to the partner networks.
