With over 20 years’ experience, Viatel is a leader in cost-effective, innovative and bespoke cloud and telecom solutions and services for SMEs, corporates, public sector and wholesale customers in Ireland. We look at three core criteria when assessing an applicant for membership – jobs, community and provenance – and Viatel ticks all of these boxes in abundance. The Guaranteed Irish symbol is recognized widely by businesses and consumers as a sign of Irish provenance and trust, and this will be a significant benefit to the Viatel brand in the future. We look forward to working with the team at Viatel and wish them continued success.”
