Charter’s Spectrum Enterprise says the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted corporate customers to take a much more active interest in ISP capabilities, and will likely accelerate adoption of network-as-a-service and SD-WAN. In addition, the company is seeing increased demand for applications and services that support remote work, a trend that Charter’s management team thinks will outlast the pandemic.
“I think there will be a change in what businesses buy and what they find as critical or important,” said Satya Parimi, VP for enterprise data products at Charter’s Spectrum Enterprise.
