GTT Named Leader in ISG Provider Lens™ Enterprise Managed Network Services Study in the US and Europe

GTT Communications Inc., a leading networking and security as a service provider for multinational organizations, announced the company has been named an Enterprise Managed Networking Services (MNS) Leader in the United States and in Europe by the Information Services Group (ISG), a world-renowned technology research and market intelligence advisory firm. In the ISG Provider Lens™ Enterprise Managed Network Services 2024 study, companies were evaluated in three categories – MNS evolution, connectivity services, and Network as a Service (NaaS) capability. GTT was ranked in the top quadrant as a leader in all three categories.

“GTT offers managed network services as part of its enterprise portfolio providing clients with comprehensive managed connectivity solutions tailored to their specific needs,” said Dr. Kenn D. Walters, Lead Analyst, ISG. “Managed network services can help organizations significantly lower IT capital expenditures, reduce the need for staff scaling and training, and mitigate risks for companies undergoing multi-cloud and NaaS migrations. GTT’s NaaS services leverage its global Tier-1 IP backbone, edge capabilities and digital experience to provide a comprehensive and highly agile solution set with advanced observability tools for network services, security, cloud integration and monitoring.”

ISG highlights GTT NaaS for enabling businesses to match their specific needs for dedicated connections, cloud access or edge networking through a flexible and scalable approach to network management. The study emphasizes the capabilities of the GTT Envision platform, which offers the virtual deployment of orchestrated network functions, and notes the robust management features of the EnvisionDX digital experience portal through which customers can consume, control and customize their services. GTT acts as a single partner for all enterprise connectivity and networking needs with a managed portfolio, including SASE: Secure Connect, Network Security and Operations, Cloud Security, Wide Area Networking, SD-WAN, Internet, Cloud Connect, Voice, and Managed and Professional Services.

“GTT is honored to be recognized by ISG for our success in effectively managing complex distributed networks, providing insight and control via Envision across the GTT core through to the edge of the enterprise network, and bringing the people and global expertise necessary to deliver great end-to-end services,” said Tom Major, Senior Vice President Product Management and Technology, GTT. “Our global network coverage coupled with our integration of security, connectivity and cloud services enable GTT to provide a seamless and secure network experience that supports our enterprise customers with the network and application performance required to meet their business objectives.”

The ISG study covers the growing trend toward enterprise adoption of MNS in both the US and Europe. Where enterprises in the US in particular are looking to these services to handle the complexities introduced by new technologies such as AI, ISG’s analysis points to their European counterparts increasingly relying on comprehensive MNS to ensure seamless connectivity and operational efficiency.
