Information Services Group (Nasdaq: III) reports that U.S. enterprises are accelerating adoption of managed network services to tackle growing complexity, security risks and regulatory demands. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Enterprise Managed Network Services report evaluates 34 providers across Managed Network Services Evolution, Connectivity Solutions and Network as a Service. Leaders in all three quadrants include Accenture, Comcast Business, GTT, Kyndryl, NTT DATA and Orange Business; Colt, HCLTech, Microland and Verizon Business lead in two quadrants each. The research highlights that companies now demand integrated management of underlay networks, cloud connectivity, software-defined networking and security to support hybrid IT, distributed workforces and AI initiatives. Sixty-five percent of surveyed enterprises cite secure access service edge (SASE) architectures as critical for protecting remote users and IoT devices, while 58% plan to deploy AI-assisted network operations for incident detection and performance optimization. Centralized orchestration is expected to reduce network outages by 30% and improve service consistency by 25%. Security and compliance drivers—including healthcare, consumer privacy and data-protection regulations—are pushing adoption of Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions. Flexible consumption models and enhanced cost transparency also rank among top priorities, with two-thirds of organizations seeking predictable, usage-based pricing to control network spend.
