New content series

As we work through the integration of Lumen EMEA into the Colt business, we wanted to share insights from behind the scenes on our progress so far and what’s coming up next. For this, we’ve sponsored IDC to write a series of Spotlight papers that cover the integration on the topics of people and culture, networks, and products and solutions.

Series background

In November 2023, we acquired Lumen EMEA. In practical terms, this included the acquisition of:

Artboard 1 copy 2

1,300 employees across 16 countries

Artboard 1 copy 2

1,630,031km of fibre connecting 125 European cities in 34 EMEA countries

Artboard 1 copy 2

11,000km of metropolitan network in 24 countries

Artboard 1 copy 2

12 cable landing stations in six countries

Artboard 1 copy 2

10 subsea cable systems - six transatlantic and four within Europe

The acquisition elevates us to one of the world’s largest business-to-business digital infrastructure companies and an influential global player. Since we broke the news, there has been a great level of interest from customers, partners and prospects on how the integration is progressing.

In this new series, IDC look into key aspects of the integration and share their perspective on the underlying drivers, our progress so far and areas to focus on.

IDC will be creating three short papers (Vendor Spotlights) and one video across the remainder of 2024.
