BENGALURU, India, ATLANTA and LONDON, Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

    Microland, a global digital transformation company announced today that it

has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed

Network Services. The detailed report is available at

https://www.microland.com/analyst-insights/leader-gartner-magic-quadrant.

    Gartner evaluated vendors on multiple parameters. Assessment was based on

two service categories of managed LAN & Managed WAN / WLAN and five management

attributes of service delivery platform, service management functions,

operations automation, customer experience management & professional services

that are Core capabilities for Managed Network Services.

    The report projects that "By 2023, 40% of enterprise buyers will demand

standardized service definitions from managed network services (MNS) providers,

up from 15% in 2018" and that "By 2024, to enhance agility and support for

cloud applications, 60% of enterprises will have implemented SD-WAN, compared

with about 30% in 2020."

    According to the report "The MNS market consists of globally capable

providers of MNS that provide service management functions for the operation of

enterprise networks." "The providers in this market are either Network Service

Providers (NSPs) or non-NSPs, as both types are common in this market."

According to another report, "Critical Capabilities for Managed Network

Services", "The providers in this research are either NSPs or non-NSPs, as both

types are common in this market and have also met the requirement for

delivering services on a global basis, beyond their own home country."

    Pradeep Kar, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director commented: "We believe

Microland's recognition in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Managed Network

Services is a huge validation of our resolute focus in being the IT

Infrastructure Partner of Choice to our customers for 31 years, and Microland

has been in the forefront of providing Managed Network Services from its

inception. I believe this recognition is a demonstration of the depth and

breadth of our services and driving continuous innovation. We dedicate this

recognition to our customers who've always inspired us to raise the bar of success."

    The report outlines, "For Managed Network Services (MNS), automation is the

key to the efficiency and quality of the service delivery platform at scale.

Importantly, automation is also critical to maintaining service delivery

quality and positive customer experience from provider MNS offerings."

    Reacting to the noteworthy mention, Robert Wysocki, Senior Vice President &

Global Client Solutions Leader - Networks & Cybersecurity noted: "We believe

this is a recognition of our ability to drive superlative customer experiences

through continued investments in innovative solutions. One of our key

investment areas has been in an automated service delivery platform—the Network

Assurance Platform that helps in proactive management of the complete lifecycle

of network infrastructure management."
