Eoghan McGonagle, head of sales operations and performance at Virgin Media Television, highlighted the seamless transition and the benefits it brings. “What really amazed us was how completely painless — and really fast — the migration was,” he said. The cloud service provides better disaster recovery capabilities, ensuring business continuity.
Improved Operational Workflow
The transition to managed services in the cloud offers Virgin Media Television improved workflows, easier collaboration, and enhanced security.
