GTT Communications Inc., a leading networking and security as a service provider for multinational organizations, has been named a Managed SD-WAN Leader in Germany by the Information Services Group (ISG), a global technology research and market intelligence advisory firm. This is the third consecutive year GTT has achieved this recognition from ISG, underscoring its strength in innovation, market presence and comprehensive product and service offerings.
The Germany edition of the 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ Network – Software-Defined Solutions and Services report assesses 27 providers of managed SD-WAN offerings, delivering a comprehensive market overview for enterprises seeking the right partner for network transformation. Key findings for the German market include:
- AI, automation and edge computing are set to accelerate SD-WAN adoption
- Enterprises are increasingly integrating SD-WAN with advanced security features such as Security Service Edge (SSE)
- Do-it-yourself (DIY) SD-WAN solutions are in decline, with demand for managed services driven by rising network complexity and the challenge of maintaining in-house expertise

Walters, Lead Analyst, ISG. “For those enterprises who are driving network and solution standardization across their global operations, GTT stands out as a Managed SD-WAN Leader due to its well-established German market presence and flexible technology solutions.
