Growth and Milestones Strengthen Masergy's Position as a Global Managed Networking and Cloud Communications Provider

Backed by company growth and key milestones over the past year, Masergy is strengthening its position as a leading managed services and cloud communications provider delivering customized, high-value solutions and "Performance Beyond Expectations" for its customers worldwide.

Masergy's continued global expansion and its recent acquisition of managed unified-communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) provider Broadcore (News - Alert) has helped the company evolve from a leading network services provider to an innovative IT transformation provider. Masergy today combines the world's largest independent global network platform, its cloud communications offering and a passionate commitment to customer service to deliver high-performance network and communications solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of each customer.

"Many network providers force companies to fit into a product 'box.' But at Masergy we transform a company's IT infrastructure from complex and rigid to simple, agile and reliable," said Masergy CEO Chris MacFarland (News - Alert). "Over the past year we have accomplished multiple strategic initiatives focusing on expanding services, value and reach for our customers. Today our growing portfolio of network-embedded and cloud-based services helps companies do more with less so they can meet real business challenges such as globalization, IT cost containment, application experience and workplace evolution."

As part of its strategic transformation Masergy is launching new brand messaging to articulate what its recent evolution means to its customers, partners and the broader industry. Centered on the core theme of improving customers' IT performance the company's new brand essence features the tagline "Performance Beyond Expectations." Masergy has also revamped its website at www.masergy.com to communicate this updated messaging to the market.

Key Company Initiatives and Milestones

Masergy's transformation is the culmination of several strategic programs and acquisitions the company has undertaken during the past year, including:

• Cloud-based Security - March 2012 - Intelligent Internet Management (IIM) is one of the company's latest additions to its visibility and control solutions providing cloud-based security and application management
• Broadcore Acquisition - July 2012 - This transaction marked the expansion of Masergy's core services into cloud-based unified communications
• Global Cloud Communications - September 2012 - The launch of Masergy's first network-embedded unified communications offering for enterprise customers. A direct result from the Broadcore acquisition
