our customers are facing a new set of challenges
4
Need for
higher
bandwidth
Customer demand has a strong growth:
WAN bandwidth requirements are
increasing above 30% per annum every
year
Customers can set up new cloud services in minutes, yet delivery
times for new VPN sites and Ethernet connections are still
measured in weeks and months.
Radically faster
network
delivery
Need for more
in-life agility
Cost efficient
scaling
Cloud services can be scaled up and down on demand, while
bandwidth upgrades and feature changes for the network are
traditionally manually requested and take days/weeks to deliver
Since 65% of WAN budgets are flat or declining, cost efficient
scaling of bandwidth is crucial.
“With a progressive uptake of video, IP audio and cloud, the compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of IP traffic is above 30% per year”
In response to this we are…
5
Investing in a new ultra-high bandwidth network
Introducing a high bandwidth optimised portfolio
Launching On Demand and Software Defined WAN Services
Further increasing focus on Enterprise market

Colt SDN/NFV transformation programme (NOVITAS)
Self-
provision
Near
real-time
Interworking
with other
providers
Available
through portal
and APIs
Provides
performance
analytics
And delivering important benefits:
Supports
value added

Elastic
Topology
Elastic
Service
Deliver programmable flexible topologies
based on overlay and underlay networks.
Deliver virtualised off-net and on-net L2 and
L3 edge services on top of basic connectivity.
SDN
NFV
Elastic
Bandwidth
Deliver programmable elastic links with
variable bandwidth.
The Vision: to transform the way network services are ordered and consumed, delivering a cloud like customer experience (self-provision, in real-time)

Ethernet on demand (learnings)
Product/sales innovation required
Full leadership support a must
Equal priority to API and Portal/GUI
Agile development requires internal alignment & agreements
Commercial APIs (NB & SB) not 100% mature
IT development trade offs (java vs cloud)
Effective automation requires a clean inventory
OPS transformation is paramount
