It will provide a logistics team in Saudi Arabia that provides same day support, next day business support and return-to-factory support for its systems from multiple depots across the region; Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) Focused Technical Support engineering team; a professional services team that will periodically assess and audit the STC network and services to maintain the highest standards of network availability; educational services; and a corporate university-learning programme for employees.

Abdullah Alzmame, head of network, STC, said: “We selected Juniper Networks managed services offering after a rigorous review process because of its experience and determination to deliver an innovative services-and-support model that was by far the most suited to our business requirements. With Juniper’s extensive expertise, we are confident we will be able to offer a remarkable experience to our customers.”
