NTT DATA named a Leader in managed network services by Gartner

NTT DATA has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Managed Network Services*.

Our Managed Network Services (MNS) support our clients’ digital transformation from edge to cloud with uninterrupted local and wide area network (LAN and WAN) connectivity, software-defined architecture, network and security convergence, and deep network and application performance and visibility. 

Powered by our industry-leading network platform, SPEKTRA, our services optimize networks for peak performance to ensure smooth data transmission with less latency and improved application responsiveness.

The rising importance of the network

A secure, reliable and high-performing network has never been more important as part of an organization’s IT infrastructure and business strategy. The reasons include a more distributed workforce, the rise of cloud applications and rapid digitalization that is driving operational efficiencies and competitive advantage.

In NTT DATA’s 2022–23 Global Network Report, 97% of CIOs and CTOs say networks are vital in enabling outcomes related to business growth. However, it is a complex environment, and many organizations may lack the in-house skills to optimally maintain and secure their networks. For example, according to our network report, more than 90% of IT leaders agree that ever-increasing security and compliance risks are a challenge throughout their IT and network operations.

This is why our research shows that 90% of IT executives prefer to outsource their network management to a single partner like NTT DATA. We are a one-stop shop that takes care of their entire network solution, across WAN and LAN environments and multiple vendors.
