The relationship is a good fit because our international presence mirrors Summus' expansion plans for exego and BlueFuel."
Summus says its selection of Digex is a crucial step in enabling the company to build a cost-effective network for the expansion of exego and BlueFuel. The company points to Digex's international presence and growth plans as complimentary to Summus's global rollout strategy. Digex's impressive market position and solid reputation were also key factors in the decision.
