The awards, created to recognize the best market players, are based on five criteria: network quality and performance, network reach, speed to market, pricing strategy, and overall investments in the network.
GTS Central Europe has been selected for its outstanding achievements in developing its wholesale strategy in the Central and Eastern European markets, supported by aggressive investments in technologies and the resulting enhanced service quality and customer experience. The award for 2009 follows the completion of the company’s integration process, and confirms that GTS’s “one-stop shopping” strategy, with integrated services available to business clients in five countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, place the company at the forefront of the telecoms industry in the region.
“GTS Central Europe has continued to enhance its wholesale offering throughout 2009,”said Matthew Whalley, editor of Capacity magazine. “It has had success in centralising its operation and launched its international network operations centre this July. These moves pave the way for the continued development of their wholesale business as well as ongoing achievement in the Central and Eastern European wholesale market.”
Commenting on the awards, Mr. Artur Ostrowski, Head of International Services, said: “We are very happy, and at the same time very proud of this recognition. This award reflects the hard work put in by the entire team and its dedication in building the best operator in the region.
