Delivering
A World of Experience
The global marketplace continues to change, creating communication
challenges for multinational corporations faced with widely dispersed
employees, incompatible systems, limited resources and increasing
competition. These organizations require a communications partner that
can provide end-to-end solutions for the complex business needs of global
enterprise customers.
As one of the leading providers of global communications, IT and
security solutions, Verizon Business owns and maintains the world’s
most-connected public IP network. Our vast experience, global reach and
advanced technologies provide governments and businesses innovative
solutions for a rapidly changing global environment.
Our strategic IP-based services are the essential building blocks for the
integrated communications and IT solutions that Verizon Business offers
worldwide. Strategic services include security and IT solutions as well as a
full spectrum of professional and managed IP services that help customers
make the most of IP communications, infrastructure and technology. The
ongoing strong demand for these advanced services underscores that
multinational customers see superior value in services that can help them
maintain their competitive edge under any market conditions.
The growth of strategic services shows that multinational corporations
and government agencies continue to look for ways to communicate and
collaborate more effectively with customers, employees, suppliers and
other key stakeholders around the globe. Verizon Business offers a range
of video-related products, including a telepresence solution. Telepresence
is the next-generation virtual meeting service that goes beyond video
conferencing by creating the impression that everyone is assembled face-
to-face in a single conference room. Working with the industry’s leading
equipment manufacturers, Verizon Business provides the ideal telepresence
platform through its Private IP and Ethernet offerings.
In 2008, we expanded and improved what was already one of the
world’s few truly global networks, resulting in enhanced speed, availability,
diversity and resiliency for business and government customers worldwide.
These improvements were part of approximately $17 billion we invested
last year building, operating and integrating our advanced broadband
wireless and wireline networks.
We continue to invest in global network enhancements and
innovative technologies that give our customers a competitive edge,
whether they are across town or around the globe.
