# 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:
