Colt signs confidential, multi-million euro deal


Colt has signed a confidential new contract with a major global financial firm which is worth several million euros.

The new ten-year contract will see the telecoms provider supply data centre and managed services to the company.

Furthermore, a special 1,000 sq m facility at its data centre near the M25 will be provided to ensure that the high demand of the financial services industry near London is met.

Detlef Spang, managing director of Colt's Major Enterprise Division, said: "In today’s economic environment, we are seeing marked demand from customers, both in the UK and across Europe, for high quality managed and outsourced services."

He believes these services are key in helping organisations reduce expenditure and create an efficient IT system.

Recently, Colt won Light Reading's Ethernet Expo Europe award for service provider of the year - best product portfolio.

The judges praised its Ethernet services and the offers available to a variety of customers.<br/>
