More from our integration series with IDC
Following the acquisition, we've had continued interest from customers, prospects and partners on how our integration is progressing.
To provide a fair overview of our progress to date, we've asked a respected third party to go behind the scenes at Colt to share exactly that. Global market intelligence business IDC have produced three Spotlight papers which share how we’re progressing with integrating our people, networks, and products and solutions. The fourth and final part of the series is the above video with our CEO.
As 2025 kicks off, we are poised for another transformative year. Explore the papers and video to discover what’s next for us and our industry as we continue to innovate and lead the way.
