"A key requirement of MNCs today is to partner with GSPs that will contribute to their digital transformation journey. The service providers featured in this study have implemented dramatic internal restructuring to help enterprises streamline and enhance their customer engagement strategies. CSPs are making bold moves to improve agility and flexible to meet these demands."

Courtney Munroe, Group Vice President, Worldwide Telecommunications

IDC identified the top 10 providers by scale and scope of operations, primarily their global coverage and the ability to provide services to global multinational corporations (MNCs). One major qualification was the presence of at least 30% of employees located outside the global service provider's (GSP's) home country, as well as the ability to provide innovative and forward-thinking solutions. The primary focus of this study is the portfolio of the emphasis on stimulating enterprise digital transformation from legacy to agile and on-demand solutions. Apart from the global networking and sales presence on multiple continents, IDC identified the following three major categories for consideration in this study:

  • Software-defined services based on software-defined networking (SDN)/NFV platforms
  • The ability to provide enhanced customer services capabilities
  • Go-TO-Market, global distribution, and support capabilities
