2 Big business performance Small business flexibility Today, the Internet has become core to the success of virtually every modern small and medium sized business. Whether this simply means employing secure, reliable or a fully web-driven ecommerce solution, these companies need the right mix of technologies and services to compete. Before now, too many have relied on services that are simply not up to the task. Services that are more appropriate for home users. Services that fail to deliver the performance your customers demand. It doesn t have to be this way. A network designed for business Colt Smart Office is a new, flexible solution designed specifically for the needs of small and medium sized businesses. It s built from the ground up on a fully scalable business-grade network delivering the services today s businesses need to succeed. Simply, it means your customers get services they can rely on day in, day out to deliver value for their businesses. The right services, right now Colt Smart Office contains a full suite of modular services covering the entire spectrum of modern networked business. From Internet, and security through to PC backup and voice, Colt Smart Office has a solution to match. And because it s modular, you can tailor the precise solution to meet your customers needs right now and then grow the solution with them over time. 2

3 Flexible to the core No two businesses are the same. Each has its own unique set of challenges and issues. Each has ambitions and opportunities it wants to fulfil. Why is it then that so many providers try to force them into inflexible packages that cannot adapt to their needs? Or which include (and charge for) services they simply do not want? Fully modular, totally flexible Colt Smart Office is different. Customers can choose one of our pre-packaged service combinations or start with a single service which they can add to as they wish. Whichever they choose, they can then tailor every aspect of their solution. More bandwidth? It s available in granular increments to suit their needs. Want voice? They can choose from traditional TDM or VoIP (and change as their technology evolves). And because security is always a concern, they can choose from a range of services to protect their business. With Colt Smart Office, the choice is theirs. Giving your customers more What does this mean for you? Simply better business. Because you can tailor a solution to your customers precise requirements, you can deliver a better result for their businesses. Which means higher sales and higher satisfaction. And because you can adapt that solution as their business changes, you ll see repeat and incremental sales all while lowering customer churn. 3

Putting customers first Colt offers the highest levels of customer support support that s won numerous awards and earned us some of the highest customer satisfaction scores in the industry.
