Delivery experience
A professional services firm needed connectivity across 7 West African countries including Côte d'Ivoire. Their existing aggregator quoted identical pricing from three 'different' providers—all reselling the same underlying carrier.
We went direct. Orange entities where they delivered best. Local carriers where they offered better value or coverage.
The result:
- 8 circuits across 7 countries
- Deployment completed in under 60 days
- Competitive pricing without the aggregator markup
- Single point of contact for the entire project
