Unleashing Northern Ireland's
Digital Potential
Unleash your digital potential. It sounds fantastic (and trust us, it’s every bit as good as it sounds), but getting there can seem quite daunting, especially for organisations at the very beginning of their digital journey. From building networks to security and connectivity solutions, all the way to GDPR, it can often feel like you’re being swept along on a wave of new ideas and technology, with no way to steer your organisation in the right direction!
Fortunately, that’s where we come in. Whether you’re already pretty digitally savvy and are looking to upgrade to the latest and greatest in network security, or a brand new organisation who just wants a better, more reliable internet connection, Virgin Media Business pride themselves on delivering innovative, tailored solutions that enable organisations of all shapes and sizes to unleash their digital potential.
Our commitment to delivering a complete suite of business connectivity tools across the UK begins with our network capabilities. Backed by our parent company Liberty Global, we have connected over 1.3 million premises to our ultrafast broadband network through Project Lightning since 2015. We plan to connect additional premises which could extend the total reach of our network to up to 17 million homes and businesses. This private investment programme makes Virgin Media the largest new broadband builder in the UK over the past two years, more than all of our competitors combined. What’s more, with 5 offices and over 600 business customers in Northern Ireland already, we make sure that no matter where you’re based, your organisation gets the best support and tools available to help you achieve your digital aspirations.
This regional depth is what enables us to offer such a broad range of connectivity and security solutions to all of our business customers in Northern Ireland. Whether it’s upgrading to an ultrafast, scalable connection, or ensuring your employees can work seamlessly from mobile devices, our Smart portfolio contains solutions that will transform the way you work and set your organisation on the path to digital maturity.
Underpinning all of this innovation is our ongoing focus on digital security. With cyber-crime costing SMEs £34 billion[1] annually, keeping critical business data and networks safe has to be a top priority. We’re here to help organisations spot potential weaknesses with comprehensive audits, implement next generation security and stay GDPR compliant.
From the public sector to private enterprise, established organisations to innovative start-ups, there are incredible digital opportunities opening up throughout Northern Ireland. Our ongoing investment in the region means that we’re perfectly positioned to provide connectivity solutions that empower organisations, enabling them to innovate, grow and outsmart tomorrow.
