MUMBAI, India, March 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Communications, a global

digital ecosystem enabler, continues to be recognised as a 'Leader' by Gartner

Magic Quadrant, for Network Services, Global, for the ninth year consecutively.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant assessed Tata Communications on completeness of

vision and ability to execute.

"We are happy to have lived up to our customers expectations and proactively

help manage their emerging needs especially in these times," said, Genius Wong,

Chief Technology Officer, Tata Communications. "We humbly accept the

recognition of a Leader for the ninth year in a row. Over the last year, we

have made huge strides in developing solutions befitting the future needs of

enterprises' global success, through constant progress, resilience and

innovation. Our Tier-1 global network has been the network-of-choice for

enabling businesses deliver value to their stakeholders with agility and

seamless connectivity for all their solutions across managed services, hybrid

WAN or multi-vendor platforms. We remain committed and focused on delivering

superior customer experiences, and are grateful to our customers and partners

for their trust, in us and our network."

During the course of the year, Tata Communications has made enhancements to the

network, enabling enterprises become more resilient and secure for future

contingencies by providing:-

Access to business apps on-premises and in the clouds, anywhere access with

security and end-to-end network performance.

Direct connectivity to nine of the world's major cloud providers with Tata

Communications cloud connectivity service.

Additional network capacity on a pay-as-you-go model with 'Bandwidth-on-Demand'

to meet short term needs conveniently through a self-service customer portal.

According to the report, Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global,

Neil Rickard, Bjarne Munch, Danellie Young, Karen Brown, 21 February 2022,

"Most global network service providers are continuing to move toward a more

platform-based approach using a software-driven, as-a-service model, with

increasing levels of visibility and self-service via portals and APIs". Gartner

further says, "Gartner continues to observe changes in enterprise requirements

and buying criteria for global networks. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted

the true value of agility for enterprise networks, as enterprises have had to

rapidly change working practices, accelerate digital and cloud transformations,

and cope with rapidly changing business circumstances. Organizations adopting

flexible networking technologies (such as NOD) and flexible sourcing approaches

(such as bring your own [BYO] access) have been much better able to support the

rapid accommodation of new endpoints and new applications (including cloud

services and IoT), and have done so while controlling their WAN expenditure."
