Mumbai, April, 11, 2011 – Tata Communications, a leading provider of the new world of communications, today announces that its global enterprise business has been recognized in the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers (NSP), with Tata Communications being positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant. The Magic Quadrant evaluates Global NSPs based on their offer to market responsiveness and track record, geographic strategy, and overall viability.
“In the past year we have focused on strengthening our Global Network Service Provider offering and vision, with an increased emphasis on delivering the robust and flexible customer service we know our clients need. That focus will continue over the coming year as we look to exploit many opportunities open to us,” commented Laurie Bowen, President, Sales & Strategy, Global Data & Mobility Solutions, Tata Communications. “Achieving this recognition from the Gartner Magic Quadrant reinforces that our approach to market is succeeding and will drive change in this highly competitive sector.”
Over the past year Tata Communications has been focusing on leveraging its global network of undersea cables in order to deliver high-capacity services, globally, at compelling prices. This, coupled with new service offerings in media and entertainment, managed security, data center, cloud services and Telepresence, has increased the company’s footprint in the international market. At the same time, Tata Communications has been further bolstering its presence in emerging markets and now has significant point-of-presence (POP) density in India, together with a firmly established footing in both the African and Middle East markets.
