Leading Industry Analyst Firm rates Interoute in Market Report on Germany’s Fixed Voice & Data Service Providers - 11 Aug 08
Berlin, 11th August 2008 – Industry analyst firm Gartner Inc. has rated Interoute, owner and operator of Europe’s largest next generation network, with “positive” in the „Market Scope for Fixed Voice and Data Service Providers“ [1].
In the study Gartner has compared providers for fixed voice and data services in the German market. "To be considered for inclusion in this MarketScope, providers must offer voice, data, managed network services and value-added services to customers in Germany. (They must) have local sales and support reach across Germany, and be willing to address national only service requirements", among other criteria.
"We have focused our company strategy completely on the network which carries a high yield now. We believe that Gartner Inc has given us a positive rating specifically because of our strategy and the way we implement it and the related vision ‘It’s better in the network’. This makes us very proud and encourages us to enforce the strategic orientation towards enterprise customers with respective services and products. The market moves in the direction of the network centric approach – and we deliver the right solutions. This is promising for our future growth", said Jens Leuchters, Country Manager Germany and Austria at Interoute.
