Enterprise Connectivity: Best-in-class connectivity solutions for your business

SEACOM is a leading information and communications technology (ICT) provider that owns an expansive network of infrastructure. We provide various enterprise connectivity solutions to companies in South Africa. These allow a business to connect to major cloud services and thousands of software as a service (SaaS) solutions, which allows users, devices and applications to perform optimally.

SEACOM Business provides a range of best-in-class connectivity solutions, such as high-speed fibre or wireless internet access, ethernet links, cloud services and cyber security solutions.

The enterprise sphere is changing rapidly; the days of hosting applications in nearby data centres are behind us. Nowadays, SaaS and unified communications are the hallmarks of modern connectivity. So why choose SEACOM Business? No two companies are the same; all of our business connectivity requirements are designed by our team of professional Solution Architects that design fit-for-purpose solutions for individual customers.

SEACOM Business has over a decade of experience in this field and can tailor services to perfectly suit the needs of the customer. Enterprise connectivity can mean slightly different things to different businesses but we can offer various modern solutions that will improve internal and external communications and digital processes.

SEACOM Business enterprise connectivity solutions

SEACOM’s enterprise internet services are enterprise-grade solutions that give businesses immediate access to flexible and scalable high-speed internet. These come with bundled voice solutions and other value-added services to help business owners support and grow their companies.

Every internet service provider (ISP) in South Africa shares portions of their core network with multiple customers, as does SEACOM, in order to achieve economies of scale. The difference with our enterprise internet lies with two crucial elements:

1. SEACOM’s owned and managed capacity for both major local and international routes. This ensures that there is no forced contention of services due to capacity constraints often experienced by other providers.
2. ActiveE technology deployment from the core right up to the customer premises. Symmetrical performance is a key differentiator between consumer or entry-level business products and true enterprise grade services.

Key features of enterprise internet access

• 100% uncapped internet with unlimited data usage and no contention (1:1) or Fair Use Policies applied.
• 99% uptime guarantee through our industry-leading service level agreement (SLA).
• Symmetrical service based on ActiveE technology.
• Unshaped internet with no rate-limit for any protocols and unlimited international usage.
• Fully managed router including installation with static IP address range pre-configured.
• 24/7/365 local technical support.

Core components of the service

Our enterprise internet access includes all the necessary components to deliver an end-to-end service to the customer, including the following:

• Dedicated inclusive last mile component based (i.e. fibre directly to the end customer).
• Redundant and diverse access and/or metro bandwidth (i.e. fibre across the town or city, where necessary).
• Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) required to terminate the service.
• Local and international connectivity

Benefits of enterprise connectivity

For most modern businesses, superior connectivity is not only about being contactable through various channels, but it is also about gaining a competitive advantage. Poor connectivity and communications can result in reputational damage, which can be costly in terms of revenue and trust. There are numerous benefits of excellent enterprise connectivity.

Connectivity is not only used for communications; it is central to running an entire organisation. Think of connectivity to resources, e-commerce platforms that are used by thousands of customers, inter-branch connectivity that ensures that employees from anywhere can access shared files quickly. Everything runs off the business network, from printers and desktops to mobile devices and the telephone systems.

Enterprise connectivity will encourage better collaboration between employees who work on shared files and digital systems. It will also speed up communications between the customer and the business, which is ideal for customer service and their experience. It makes a business more flexible, agile, responsive and coherent.

These are vital for the success of any modern organisation, but the hardware and infrastructure network must be reliable for enterprise connectivity to be successful. SEACOM Business gives customers direct access to an international network of fibre optic cables that link directly to nearby data centres and the subsea cables that connect South Africa to the rest of the world.

SEACOM Business handles the end-to-end orchestration of corporate networks and connectivity, whether physical or cloud-based. These service offerings are dynamic and can be scaled to match the requirements of the company as it expands.
