Allen Timpany identifies the ‘Big Five’ in Global Managed Network Services

 

 

Sydney, 16 August 2007Allen Timpany, founder and chief executive officer of Vanco, the pioneering global Virtual Network Operator (VNO), has today announced his belief that the Global Managed Network Service industry is now dominated by what he sees as the ‘Big Five’ players.

 

He stated, “There is clear separation between global providers and niche players in the industry and, realistically, there are now just five alternatives for global multinational enterprises to choose from – AT&T, Verizon Business, Orange Business Services, BT Global Services and Vanco. In a market estimated to be worth in excess of £15 Billion per annum, Vanco is the only global provider that is growing rapidly; with consistent growth of around 30 per cent per annum .This demonstrates that our independent position in the market better serves customer requirements and expectations.”

 

Timpany continued, “Amongst the Big Five, Vanco is proud to be different – we offer a unique, asset-light model which means that our customers have access to all solutions and technologies in the market. We have built a business around the principle of offering customers the solution and accompanying service that they seek. This approach, combined with impressive service metric targets, competitive pricing and actively bringing new technology ideas to our customers, has led to a customer retention rate of 98 per cent this year.”

 

 

He concluded, “We believe Vanco will overtake some of the other Big Five in terms of market share in the global managed data network market – and probably sooner than people might imagine. At the main board level some of our competitors are not committed to this market.”
