We offer practical, realistic advice that can be implemented to deliver real value
Major operators are increasingly choosing to work with Coleagos small, dedicated and highly experienced teams over traditional consultancies with their large, expensive teams of relatively inexperienced consultants.
Coleago focuses only on providing independent advice, we have no commercial interest in recommending infrastructure investment, system implementations or on-going outsourcing services.
Independent opinions
Our consultants are highly experienced, multi-skilled and have extensive project management experience this means we can deploy smaller teams, without the hierarchy of traditional consultancies, which clients find easier to work with and integrate into their own project teams.
Our advice is based on hands on experience, much at Director and Board level, and ensures that our recommendations are realistic, practical and achievable.
As we only focus on the telecoms sector we have an extensive library of modelling and forecasting tools developed specifically for the sector as well as comprehensive benchmark databases which ensure that we can be adding value from the outset of a project.
Language Skills
Many Coleago team members are fluent in a number of languages including French, Spanish, Arabic, German and Dutch language skills are often crucial in delivering assignments in emerging markets.
