ITS launches value-add services bolstering wholesale connectivity product portfolio

We’re delighted to launch a suite of value-added services to enhance our current connectivity offering available to our Faster Britain approved partners.

ITS has built a channel programme that has attracted more than 500 partners including resellers, managed service providers (MSP), and internet service providers (ISP). Through our automated self service portal, partners can now access our suite of business-grade gigabit capable connectivity solutions – from full fibre broadband to dedicated leased lines – with the option to add on enhanced service wraps designed through partner feedback to boost their wider solution procurement.

With a roadmap to launch further value-add services later this year, we’ve initially introduced voice-enabled connectivity options, additional fixed IP addresses, and a series of resilience services including 4G backup and broadband backup. There is also access to dedicated project management services for complex or multi-site projects.

Pete England, Head of Product Development at ITS said: “A key point of difference for partners working with ITS is that we provide the tools and support they need to win business, with their feedback being a vital component of this success. This also applies to our product roadmap. Our mission is to make it as easy and straightforward as possible to adopt full fibre services.

“As the needs of end-users are constantly evolving, we are responding to the demand for service wraps that help our partners to streamline their suppliers and integration of services, allowing them to concentrate on their sales pipeline and sell their wider portfolio of ‘over the top’ services. We will continue to develop our offer and do all that we can to support our partners in this way.”

ITS can connect any business in the UK through our own Faster Britain full fibre network, and through trusted operator relationships. Earlier this year we introduced a 2023 price freeze on existing contracts and all new on-net services, and applied a series of price reductions to provide further support to our Faster Britain approved partners amidst challenging market conditions. ITS also offers a price match promise to our 10G leased line FibreBright services.
