Verizon Business Meets Demand for High-Tech Services Through Expanded Professional Service Capabilities
May 2008 by Marc Jacob
To meet the growing demand from large corporations for high-tech services geared to improving business performance, Verizon Business is significantly increasing the number and range of its professional consulting services.
The company, which provides advanced communications and IT solutions for 98 percent of the Fortune 500, announced that it is delivering a standardized set of more than 50 professional-service capabilities in 30 countries around the globe. The services will be delivered through 2,700 specially trained and experienced consultants in five key practice areas: Security Services, IT Services, Network Integration and Engineering, IP Communications and Contact Center Services.
Global managed and professional services – a key part of Verizon Business’ strategic services offerings — represent a significant growth area for the company. It expects to experience continued expansion in this area throughout 2008. Verizon Business’ strategic services — which also include fast-growing IP, Ethernet and optical-ring services – drove revenue of $1.4 billion in the first quarter 2008, up 23.5 percent from the first quarter 2007.
