TNC's CEO, John Waterhouse interviews Matt Jago, Head of Information Systems Operations at Sightsavers, for the 4th Down The Wire Podcast Episode: How to Build, Deploy and Manage an Agile Global Network.

Matt Jago is one of the highest profile IT leaders in the UK, both as a result of his work at Sightsavers, as well as his long term contribution to the Charity IT Leaders organisation, which brings together CIOs from the UK’s largest charities and NGOs.

With the rise of cloud-based applications, a huge increase in the agility requirement for network and telecoms, and the vast uptake of remote working as a result of Covid, many organisations are scrambling to build new infrastructures to support these new challenges.  

Matt and his team have spent many years developing innovative ways to deliver network and telephony services to their global users.  As a result Sightsavers has been very early adopters of some strategies that are now becoming much more mainstream, including using internet services delivered by local ISPs instead of MPLS, and cloud-based telephony.  Crucially, Matt and his team have developed a very agile operating model to support these solutions.
