The Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) has signed a £4m three-year contract for a fully-managed Wide Area Network (WAN) service with Azzurri Communications.
The contract will mean CAB can enable home working for over 20,000 staff in 3000 remote locations.

"This gives us a private network that a number of people can patch into," said Brian Handley, head of IT at CAB. "It’s a critical bit of flexibility that will help our staff engage with the public better."
The managed service will deliver variable bandwidth which can be expanded according to the CAB's needs.
The network also gives the CAB the ability in the future to store information centrally, so that members can access it from different locations.
