Case Study: Colt accelerates global network innovation with Itential

Colt cuts new service rollout time from years to weeks with Itential

Colt, a global service provider connecting enterprises across the US, Europe, and Asia, faced a significant challenge with its network automation. Engineers used isolated scripts scattered across laptops and repositories, leading to a lack of standardization and configurations that caused errors and delays. This fragmentation meant rolling out new services could take anywhere from six months to two years, stalling innovation and widening the gap between Colt's delivery and market expectations. To overcome this, Colt turned to the vendor Itential for a unified orchestration platform.

Itential provided Colt with a platform to standardize every device, configuration, and workflow across its global teams. The solution integrated with Colt's existing tools and allowed a dedicated automation team to codify operations into governed, reusable workflows. As a result, Colt compressed its service rollout timelines from years down to weeks, enabling engineers to focus on design and innovation. Itential's platform provided the foundation for faster delivery and laid the groundwork for future AI-driven operations.
