# WELCOME TO THE COLT ON DEMAND KNOWLEDGE CENTER
## WELCOME TO COLT ON DEMAND
{% hint style="info" %}
NEW – we have recently launched a new "quote centric" **On Demand Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) portal** that enables customers to create, store, and later convert quotes into orders. You can find out more [here](https://docs.colt.net/on-demand/on-demand-lso-portal)
{% endhint %}
The cloud has had a fundamental impact on the way that enterprises consume IT services. Colt On Demand brings the flexibility and agility of the cloud to the network, via a Network as a Service (NaaS) platform model.
The On Demand platform uses software-defined networking and real-time automation to enable a better networking experience. Via the Colt On Demand platform, customers can request connectivity to over 1,200 data centres, 32,000+ Colt connected enterprise offices and millions of off-net locations via our integrated carrier partners. Customers can also use the platform to connect to 300+ cloud-on-ramp locations or spin up an enterprise grade Internet connection.
On Demand enables customers to:
* Order services via a portal or API
* Upgrade a bandwidth or make a configuration change in near real time
* Connect to a range of public clouds – including AWS, Google, IBM, Microsoft Azure and Oracle
* Connect to the public Internet
* Flex service bandwidths in line with demand in near real time
* Choose from two commercial models – a next generation On Demand model, and a more traditional pricing model
Three connectivity offerings underpin the Colt On Demand NaaS platform:
### 1. ETHERNET ON DEMAND
A private connection between data centres and enterprise office locations.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.colt.net/on-demand/welcome.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
