"What attracted us to GTT was its business model," said Martin Ogden, Group IT head of infrastructure and operations support, Expro. "GTT is not fixed to any one carrier or any one service provider, which enables it to source bandwidth and network connectivity from the most appropriate carrier in order to obtain the best possible deal for its customers."

GTT's customized network solution will provide Expro's Nigerian and Angolan staff offices with the same direct access to all core systems and services available to other Expro sites, as well as full connectivity to all corporate servers and applications.

We have focused on managing strong working relationships with satellite service providers and local incumbent telcos to ensure effective service provisioning and management. This is a core capability for GTT. For Expro, we were able to offer a true turn-key solution - from designing and provisioning the network, to procuring and deploying the equipment, to maintaining and supporting ongoing service. This turn-key service combined with a single service level agreement is a key differentiator for GTT."
