According to a recent ZK Research survey, 93% of firms think that today’s business operations depend more on their IT infrastructure than they did even two years ago. Eighty percent do concur that complexity has increased. Businesses need to figure out how to deal with complexity before they can modernize.

Communications, security, and networking are addressed by the solutions C1 presented. According to the corporation, it has combined the solutions to enhance corporate resilience, ease customer deployment, and optimize operations.

The latest C1 solutions comprise:

Communications

RingCentral RingEX and RingCentral CX, powered by C1CX: One of the top unified communications platforms is RingCentral EX, and its contact center solution is CX. C1 offers “C1CX,” a proactively managed service overlay. With the managed service, clients may swiftly go from proof of concept to production. After that, C1 will take care of carrier management, change management, and technical support around-the-clock to guarantee the service is operational and of the highest caliber.

Infrastructure

C1 Provides Managed Internal Broadband Services: This product, which is intended to oversee, manage, control, and run broadband services, helps K–12 institutions become more resilient at a lower cost. Although they usually have small IT teams, schools are depending more and more on their network to implement innovative teaching methods. Schools can offload the complexity of management by using this service.

Total Security Network: This solution, which is aimed at the public sector, finance, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, and logistics industries, combines C1’s managed services with the technologies of Extreme Networks and Verkada to provide physical security supported by an enhanced network.

Security

Risk Mitigation Solution Suite: This suite, which offers a streamlined method for asset inventory, vulnerability identification, and prioritized risk mitigation, consists of WAVES Security, Asset Management-as-a-Service, and Vulnerability Management-as-a-Service.

Next-generation Firewalls Managed by C1: This service offers AI-enabled protection, compliance assurance, and business resiliency by combining Palo Alto Networks’ machine learning-powered NGFWs with C1 Managed Services.

In the past, a solution provider like C1 would have entered the market on its own, handling needs for infrastructure, communications, and security. A decade ago, when technology was still operating in silos, this was sufficient.

That’s not the case anymore. Network changes may influence communications and security. Network implications result from security updates, and so forth. Because of this, C1 is able to provide these as an advanced technology suite.

Technology interdependencies and complexity will only increase as businesses adopt hybrid work practices, integrate artificial intelligence, and move to hybrid cloud infrastructures.

For businesses that want their IT teams to focus on more strategic projects rather of just keeping the lights on, or for firms with small IT staffs, managed service is a great choice.

These new services are positioned by C1 to fulfil the demands of the changing IT environment. The company offers a comprehensive suite of networking, security, and communications services that tackle various corporate difficulties. By taking this all-inclusive strategy, businesses may implement integrated solutions instead of having to manage several systems from various providers. This is the method to use if you wish to streamline your IT processes.

Furthermore, C1 is aware of the growing need for service-based IT consumption models, which is why it is concentrating on deployment services through managed offerings. Many companies, especially mid-sized and large corporations, prefer to contract with outside specialists to handle complicated IT requirements since they can guarantee best practices and more effective rollouts. This puts C1 in a position to take advantage of the growing market for cloud and managed IT services.

The sector will continue to be shaped by factors including IT modernization, cybersecurity, and remote work, and C1 is well-positioned to benefit from these developments by focusing on its strategic goals and meeting the needs of companies going through digital transformation.
