Global Capacity's One Marketplace eliminates the complexity and inefficiency of buying network connectivity by combining an interconnected, aggregated network with a Cloud application that automates the procurement of network services. One Marketplace streamlines service delivery and ensures the best client experience by providing customers with a single interface through which to design, price and fulfill multi-network, multi-geography requirements, as well as a single SLA, contract and point of contact.
"Demand for expanded geographic coverage and over-the-top business applications is creating a need for greater service provider partnering," says Ben Edmond, Chief Revenue Officer for Global Capacity.
