Summary
Challenges
- Evolve from a traditional service provider to a cloud services innovator

Hosted on a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series platform
Results
- Cut time required to enable 4G roaming by 50%, from 6 to 3 months
- Infrastructure investment costs have been reduced by up to 40%, and service running costs are 20% less
- Reduced risk of network downtime and if faults do arise they are much easier to solve
- New services can be deployed 50% faster and engineers have 30% more time for IT transformational projects

"We wanted to make the change to software-defined networking with someone we trust."
