Verizon
Business ’ s Technology Solutions in a Digital World
as Hussain explains : “ De-centralisation of resources , the densification of the network , adoption of mobility and cloud security , and virtualisation are just a few of the trends we ’ re seeing . Businesses now want to use more advanced communications technologies . They want to use home networks and still remain secure and they want access to all of their corporate infrastructure in the cloud . We are helping provide all of those capabilities .”
Verizon Business ’ work is enabled by the support of a number of key partners , slotting into the company ’ s conception of three product layers : connectivity , platform and solutions . “ We ' re seeing a lot of customers move to the cloud ,” says Hussain . “ They ' re using the cloud for their communications needs . We , as a global services provider , have the opportunity to work with partners such as Genesys for our end customer contact center needs . We also work with Cisco across our portfolio to provide networking , collaboration and calling solutions to our customers as they migrate their businesses to the cloud – taking them out of IT closet and towards the edge .”
Partners are also a vital part of the company ’ s 5G provision , as Hussain explains . “ Nokia , Samsung , and Ericsson are part of our 4G and 5G networks , and we continue to build with them . We are also building private networks with them , which will help enable 5G ’ s industrial automation capabilities .” On the solutions side , partners include the likes of IBM and SAP . “ IBM has obviously their cloud offering . They also have AI and ML platforms , and we are working with them very closely
