Verizon Positioned as a Leader in Magic Quadrants for Global Network Service Providers and Pan-European Network Service Providers

NEW YORK – Gartner Inc. has positioned Verizon in the Leaders quadrant in two recently published reports: “Magic Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers”[3] and “Magic Quadrant for Pan-European Network Service Providers.”[4]
Offerings evaluated by Gartner included wide area network transport services, primarily managed, such as multiprotocol label switching (MPLS); Ethernet and Internet virtual private networks (VPNs); voice services such as SIP Trunking; and value-added services such as cloud (infrastructure-as-a-service), security, managed mobility, application-fluent networking, unified communications and data center services.
“Our world-class global IP network is the foundation for Verizon’s ‘everything-as-a-service’ strategy and the advanced solutions that enable better business outcomes for our customers worldwide,” said Farooq Muzaffar, vice president of enterprise network and communications solutions with Verizon. “As a result, multinational corporations and government agencies can count on Verizon to deliver advanced capabilities such as Managed Telepresence for better visual collaboration across the globe.”
Positioning in the Gartner Magic Quadrant is based on the ability to execute and completeness of vision.
Global Magic Quadrant
Gartner examined eleven service providers for its annual global study. According to Gartner, “Leaders have a full portfolio of voice and data products, coupled with above-average service and support, wide global coverage and competitive pricing. They have a strong vision that includes adopting more information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities, which is a strategy they articulate clearly and openly.”
Pan-European Magic Quadrant
Gartner examined fifteen network service providers for its Pan-European study. According to Gartner, “Leaders have a full portfolio of voice and data services, including relatively new offerings in areas such as UC and Ethernet services. These services are delivered with good quality across a wide area of coverage at competitive prices by account teams that are typically closer to the customer. Leaders have a strong vision of the market and their role in it, and they will typically be able to address a wider range of customers (in terms of size, geography and service requirements) with their service offerings than others in this Magic Quadrant.”
Verizon is a global leader in driving better business outcomes for enterprises and government agencies. Verizon delivers integrated IT and communications solutions via its high-IQ global IP and mobility networks to enable businesses to securely access information, share content and communicate. Verizon is rapidly transforming to a cloud-based “everything-as-a-service” delivery model that will put the power of enterprise-class solutions within the reach of every business.
