Flexible procurement
Flex is designed to simplify technology consumption. Through Flex, LAN3 offers procurement flexibility to make keeping abreast of technology easy for our customers. Software-As-A-Service has been the norm for a while (Office365, Adobe etc), so why not extend this model to the network?
LAN3 customers want different ways of paying, owning and operating from fully managed services down to pure on-premise hardware, monthly/quarterly/annually split payments vs. lump sum, 30-day rolling contracts vs. 3-years upfront – the variables are endless.
The network performance and security has never been more important. With Flex by LAN3 customers can ensure an optimised ‘fit for purpose’ infrastructure, capable of meeting today’s network demands.
