Hutchison Global Communications (HGC) has entered a business collaboration with Ansterdam-based connectivity and internet services provider VEON to provide joint services in the enterprise market.
The partners plan to provide a single virtual sales team for business to business communications services services to ensure a superior worldwide customer experience.
