CSC in ‘Leaders’ Quadrant for Network Service Providers

CSC is announcing that it’s positioned in the “leaders” quadrant of the Gartner (News - Alert) report, “Magic Quadrant for Managed and Professional Network Service Provider, North America,” which evaluates vendors that deliver information technology (IT) services in support of connectivity and communications infrastructure.

“Vendors in the leaders quadrant are performing well today, have a clear vision of market direction and are building competencies to sustain their leadership positions in the market,” according to Gartner.

Authored by Eric Goodness, Christine Tenneson, Ted Chamberlin and Daniel O'Connell, and published May 14, the report covers vendors of IT services for business communications systems in North America.

To be included, service providers had to directly provide IT management services in support of wide-area-network environments, develop and maintain their own remote management platform for the provisioning of a variety of remote IT services across WAN, LAN and premises-based voice infrastructure, and have generated annual network IT service revenue of $150 million or more in North America, among other criteria.

“As our clients’ businesses become more global, their network requirements are becoming even more complex,” said Richard Ricks, president of CSC’s Global Outsourcing Services organization. “We view our placement in the leaders quadrant as an indicator of the quality, in-depth integrated network transformation and management services our clients need and have come to expect.”

The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It depicts Gartner’s analysis of how certain vendors measure against certain criteria for that marketplace, as defined by Gartner. Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product or service depicted in the Magic Quadrant, and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors placed in the “leaders” quadrant.
