Gartner Inc. positions Bell in the Challengers quadrant for managed and professional network service providers, North America
Evaluation based on ability to execute and completeness of vision
In i ts newly-release Magic Quadrant for Managed and Professional Network Service Providers, North America report., Garnter Inc. has positioned Bell as in the challenger quadrant.
The report is designed to help midsize and large companies identify and evaluate North American IT services suppliers who can support their connectivity and communications infrastructure. A total of 18 vendors across North America satisfied all of Gartner's criteria for the inclusion in the report's 2008 edition.
To be considered for the Magic Quadrant, a vendor had to fulfill specific delivery criteria based on how it serves the North American market. Each vendor must:
- Directly provide IT management services in support of customer WAN Environments
- Develop and maintain its own remote management platform for the provisioning of a variety of remote IT services across WAN, LAN and premises-based voice infrastructure
- Provide, directly or through partners, IT services in support of LAN, premises-based and hosted voice infrastructure, and WAN edge devices
- Serve clients in North America
Each vendor was asked to make a formal presentation to Gartner and to submit at least five North American customer references. The participants were then evaluated according to their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision in delivering network IT services. These services include Network and Telecommunications Expense Management, Maintenance, Consulting, Network Development and Integration, and Network Management.
As part of the evaluation, Gartner gave comments from vendor-supplied references equal weight with comments from its own independent customer inquiries. Each participant was then placed within one of four Magic Quadrants, among the "leaders," "challengers," niche players," or "visionaries."
