SINGAPORE, July 7 /PRNewswire-Asia/ --
Cable&Wireless Worldwide today announced that it is positioned
as "Challenger" in Gartner's latest Magic Quadrant for Asia Pacific
Network Service Providers for the year 2010 published on June 28.
The evaluation is based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to
Execute.
"When selecting a provider, network managers
need to pay attention to its Ability to Execute. The large size of
the Asia Pacific region and its fragmented geography makes it more
challenging to deliver consistently high-quality network services
here than in other regions," said Gartner.
Nick Lambert, Managing Director, Global
Markets, Cable&Wireless Worldwide said: "We are very proud that
Gartner has positioned us in the Challenger position in the Magic
Quadrant. We consider this as an endorsement of our focused
approach in Asia and excellence in execution. We continue to move
from strength to strength in our service excellence and delivering
high levels of customer satisfaction, as well as in our improved
product/solutions offering and price competitiveness."
"We are particularly pleased to be recognised
for our flexible approach towards meeting non-standard requirements
for our customers. As a nimble and flexible organisation, our DNA
enables us to scale service and support, as well as our solutions
offer to customer needs, with good response times," he said.
The research house gives high marks to
providers that exceed competitors on Service Quality based on high
network reliability and performance, good service and support and
strong service level commitments, local service and support in
development and remote markets -- especially China and India.
