Virtela to speak at International Telecoms Week Roundtable for Global Network Integrators
Session Discusses How Global Integrator Models Help Achieve
Strategic Business Goals
DENVER, May 28, 2009 - Virtela,
the global network solutions company, today announced its
participation at International Telecoms Week 2009 in an executive
roundtable discussion titled "The Role of the Network Integrator in
the New Global Economy." Virtela's Vice President of Global
Channels, John Powell, will discuss how carriers can take advantage
of innovative partner models to more efficiently extend their
network reach and accelerate their global strategies. The
roundtable, sponsored by Global Telecom & Technology (GTT) and
moderated by Current Analysis Principal Analyst Cindy Whelan, will
take place on Tuesday, June 2 at 11:15 a.m. at the Marriott Wardman
Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.
"Many traditional carriers have decided to partner with global
network integrators or have adopted their own version of the
integrator model in order to expand their global reach and
portfolio of value added services," said John Powell, Virtela's
vice president of global channels. "Current economic conditions
make the build-versus-buy decision almost a no brainer, as most
carriers face a significant reduction in their capex budgets. This
roundtable will give carriers actionable guidance on how they can
use global integrators and/or the integrator model to achieve their
specific business goals."
With a non-traditional model for delivering global managed
services, Virtela leverages hundreds of carrier infrastructures via
the Regional Policy Centers it owns around the world to ensure
optimal performance and resiliency. Virtela's new paradigm for
service delivery - Network as a Service (NaaS) - enables an array
of on demand services that provide customers with customizable
best-in-class network solutions and eliminate upfront capital
expenditures. John Powell will offer perspective on NaaS and
strategic global connectivity for carriers at ITW:
