This contract empowers the O2 commitment of delivering Joined Up Communications under its Joined Up Business vision – creating offerings to help businesses drive efficiency, productivity and innovation.
O2 UK Enterprise general manager David Plumb said O2’s first job is to deliver a robust mobile communications system for the company, who need to ensure that their workforces, from engineers to foreign correspondents, are able to stay constantly in touch.
