Jeff Jack, Group SVP: Networking and Digital Infrastructure Operations
Taking a business-led approach to network strategy

“Aligning infrastructure with business strategy goes beyond just choosing the right technology to solve a problem. It extends to how you operate and consume the infrastructure.”

In the digital age, you can’t think of your network strategy as separate from your business strategy.
