BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- C1, the global technology solution provider elevating connected human experiences, has unveiled a suite of innovative solutions designed to enable organizations to modernize communications without risk, enhance network performance and resiliency, and strengthen security programs. These critical new capabilities are deployed and managed by C1's managed and professional services, which accelerate time to value at a significantly lower cost.

"Businesses depend on their technology infrastructure more than ever, but IT complexity is high. Coupled with the rapid pace of innovation, this has made the situation unmanageable for most organizations. To achieve business outcomes, advanced communications, networking, and security systems are essential to allow users to work securely from anywhere without causing disruptions or risks," stated Omar Bhatti, Chief Customer Officer of C1. "C1's proven managed and professional services have the unique ability to work closely with clients to define their desired business outcomes, then customize each implementation to rapidly and safely enable them to meet those goals."

"C1 helped us see things that we weren't seeing ourselves. They helped us understand how the product can scale for us and grow with us. That's why we rely on a partner like C1 to help guide us, and that's exactly what they have done," said Sapidah Shefa, vice president of operations at Road Runner Sports, a C1 customer.

"In a recent ZK Research study, 93% of organizations stated their IT infrastructure is more important to business operations than two years ago. This is why modernizing technology has become a critical initiative for companies of all sizes. However, in that same time frame 80% report the environment is more complex. Success with IT is dependent on ensuring technology is not deployed in silos - everything must work together as what happens in the network affects security, which impacts communications and so on. This suite of services C1 has offered looks at infrastructure holistically but gives customers a choice of starting points. C1's services overlay enables brands to deploy leading edge technologies without the typical risks and pitfalls associated with infrastructure deployments," said Zeus Kerravala, chief analyst, ZK Research.
