BOSTON, July 10, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ATLANTIC-ACM, a leading research consulting and market due diligence firm, has announced its 2024 U.S. Business Connectivity Service Provider Excellence Awards. The awards are based on survey feedback from 1,050 business services buyers who provided more than 2,900 carrier-specific ratings on their current providers’ service levels and product quality.
ATLANTIC-ACM introduced the Business Connectivity Report Card survey in 2006 to provide service providers with truly unbiased customer experience benchmarking data along with insights into changing purchasing trends and customer purchasing priorities.
The wired business services market is constantly evolving due to changing customer needs and advancements in technology. The most important purchasing considerations for enterprise and SMB customers are network performance, network security, price, and customer service. Customers are gradually reducing spending on traditional voice and IP VPN/MPLS services in favor of more cost-effective, higher capacity solutions such as Waves, DIA, broadband, Ethernet, VoIP, and managed services. Demand for security products continues to increase, with on-premise security appliances and cloud-based security being the most popular.
ATLANTIC-ACM presents awards to two groups of carriers categorized based on estimated total wireline revenues: large and mid-sized service providers. ATLANTIC-ACM recognizes the top large and mid-sized service providers in each key operational category, as well as the providers with the highest overall average data and voice quality and price ratings (value).
