a leading global European investment bank cuts network complexity with Colt and deploys SD WAN across Europe up to 1Gbps

A leading global European investment bank faced the challenge of modernizing its complex IT estate to support a digital transformation. Its previous multi-supplier network was inefficient and hindered application integration. To build a secure, high-performance springboard for the future, the bank partnered with Colt Technology Services for a new networking solution.

Colt implemented a Europe-wide software-defined WAN (SD WAN) that integrated fully managed SD WAN and network functions virtualisation. This solution from Colt provided the agility of open-source technology alongside the security of MPLS, putting the bank in control with portal-based management and analytics. The bank achieved significant cost savings, reduced management overhead, and gained the agile network needed to accelerate client service and pursue market growth.
