Signet, a vendor of connectivity solutions, and Avit, a network integrator and managed service provider, are further expanding their joint activities. The partnership with Signet will allow Avit to make use of a nationwide network of high-quality broadband internet services. Among other things, this provides Avit with a solid foundation under its managed Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) service. This enables organizations to set up a flexible network environment that easily facilitates the emergence of cloud and SaaS solutions.

RELYING ON 24/7 AVAILABILITY

Avit effects a total IT solution for its customers by combining several managed services. An important component in this is connectivity. As an organization you need to be able to rely on 24/7 availability and optimal performance of internet connections. You also want to be relieved of the burden of management and maintenance, so that IT people can focus on business innovation.

STRONG NATIONAL COVERAGE

To achieve this, Avit was using, until recently, the services of several connectivity solution providers. Jasper van 't Wout, Chief Strategy Officer at Avit Group.

We were looking for a way to operate even more efficiently and respond faster to customer needs. Avit decided to reduce the number of connectivity service providers and focus on one key partner. Strong national coverage and a good price-quality ratio were the starting points. Signet fits that profile perfectly and has a method of operation that is very similar to the one of Avit. We are both committed to a flexible attitude and we go to great lengths to achieve a tailor-made solution for the customer. I am therefore very much looking forward to expanding the cooperation with Signet.

FLEXIBILITY, SPEED AND PERFOMACE IN THE NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

Signet is part of team.blue, a powerful European player in the field of IT solutions. Signet has a network of around 40 fiber optic, DSL and mobile providers at its disposal, enabling it to provide connectivity services almost anywhere in the Netherlands and far beyond.

Quintijn Knepper, Managing Director Connectivity at team.blue, is looking forward to working with Avit.

We notice that the demand for managed SD-WAN is growing rapidly. Organizations are looking for ways to combine flexibility, speed and performance in their network environment. Reliable Internet connectivity is an essential component in this proposition and we are proud to partner with Avit to meet this challenge."
