Our industry is undergoing a significant transformation due to rapid expansion of non traditional competition as well as customer demand for personalized user experience, said Srinivasan Jayaraman, senior vice president and global head of Telecoms, Virtusa. We believe that our inclusion in the 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Services for Communications Service Providers reaffirms the strong progress Virtusa has made over the past few years in growing our Telecoms practice by delivering significant business value to our clients.

In addition, peak data traffic volumes put enormous pressure on the infrastructure leading to higher investment in CAPEX and OPEX.

About Magic Quadrant
This Magic Quadrant represents a snapshot of the IT services market for CSPs at a particular point in time. While it may appear logical for readers to compare placement of vendors from prior years, Gartner advises against doing so, because: The market is changing - acquisitions, partnerships, solutions development, alternative delivery are all evidence of this change [and the] criteria for selecting and ranking vendors continue to evolve. Our assessment takes into account the vendors' current product offerings and overall strategies, as well as their future initiatives and product road maps. We also factor in how well vendors are driving market changes or adapting to changing market requirements. While market leaders offer the best combination of vision and execution, vendors that appear in the Challengers, Niche Players or Visionaries quadrants may offer a better match with a CSP's business goals and service requirements in a given situation.
