BT Boosts Cloud of Clouds

BT customers to benefit from direct, high performance and secure connectivity to Salesforce’s Customer Success Platform

BT will provide its corporate customers with the ability to connect directly to Salesforce through BT Cloud Connect, BT’s high-performance connectivity to cloud services.

The agreement marks an important milestone in the delivery of BT’s ‘Cloud of Clouds’ vision. Establishing a managed connection to Salesforce’s industry-leading Customer Success Platform enables BT customers to benefit from the highly predictable performance and reliability that come with dedicated connectivity.

Keith Langridge, Vice President, Network Services at BT Global Services, said, “Our vision for a ‘Cloud of Clouds’ makes it easier for organisations to embrace the cloud by providing direct, secure and high performance connectivity to the applications hosted in the cloud.”

Andrew Lawson, Managing Director of Salesforce in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said, “Companies are transforming the way they connect with customers, partners and employees to thrive in today’s connected world. BT is accelerating this shift for its customers with the addition of Salesforce to its ‘Cloud of Clouds’ vision.”

The service will be rolled out incrementally from February 2016, first in the United States and Europe, and globally thereafter.
