Colt selected to connect Xseed’s cloud-based payment system with Colt Dedicated Cloud Access

Xseed Co., Ltd.

Xseed is a system integrator specializing in design, implementation, and administration of its customers’ IT environments, leveraging advanced virtualisation and operations technology as well as deep knowledge and expertise in open source. Xseed provides value-added services to support increasing demands for system implementation, management and security both in the public cloud and for on-premise IT. Helping customers build robust business infrastructures to create new value while contributing to society is Xseed’s overarching mission.

Xseed’s business challenge

In order to securely connect their end users to Microsoft Azure, Xseed sought dedicated connectivity. They needed a solution which was high in quality and stability. Furthermore, they needed the solution to be operational within a short period of time to fit into their tight timeline.

Why Colt

Not only does Colt supply bandwidth-guaranteed network services as direct connectivity for Azure, no other supplier was able to meet Xseed’s short delivery deadlines. The ability to meet these deadlines was key in Xseed’s choice of supplier, as was Colt’s extensive experience and expertise in serving financial-industry organizations. Furthermore, Colt was able to provide superior value vs. cost.

Future Plans

In collaboration with Colt’s cloud connectivity, Xseed is now in a position to offer users comprehensive solutions. Xseed is also looking forward to continuing this partnership and creating new business opportunities to expand their cloud business.

Colt’s highly reliable, secure, and dedicated connectivity to Azure was the answer to our end users’ requirements. In partnership with Colt, we were able to successfully implement an online payment system containing confidential data for our customers. This has given us the confidence to expand business further.Satoru Takebayashi, Director, Chief Operating Officer, Xseed Co., Ltd.
