ARMONK, N.Y., June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announced that IDC has named IBM a Leader in the IDC
MarketScape: Worldwide Network Consulting Services 2017 Vendor
Assessment (Doc #US41623217, June
2017). Study participants cited the strength of IBM
Network Services' ability to provide operational efficiencies as
well as improved network security.
As a services integrator, IBM works with a broad ecosystem of
technology partners worldwide to supply its network solutions, and
provides an agnostic approach to network transformation across
multiple technologies and circuit providers through its network
design, deployment, and managed services. IBM delivers its
portfolio of network services through four integrated areas:
campus, cloud and datacenter, wide area, and wireless.
IBM continues to transform traditional networking environments
to meet the requirements of today's hybrid infrastructure models
through IBM Cloud. Using software-defined, network-as-a-service
delivery models, IBM hopes to make it easier and safer for clients
to manage and customize their networks according to their intended
business objectives. Certain areas of the IBM Network Services
portfolio, like IoT and managed services, are already making use of
the capabilities of IBM Watson. All of these efforts are crucial to
IBM's strategic initiatives of becoming the world's leading cloud
platform and cognitive solutions company.
"We are pleased to be recognized as a leader in the IDC
MarketScape for Network Consulting Services and believe it reflects
the strength of our business and the client satisfaction we see on
