One Marketplace Access Exchange automates quote management and facilitates network optimization

Chicago, IL, USA, February 28, 2012Global Capacity, the world’s leading telecommunications information and logistics Company, has been selected by Sidera Networks, a premier provider of fiber optic-based network solutions for critical communications, to provide its One Marketplace Access Exchange.  One Marketplace is an online pricing platform that provides real-time competitive quotes for circuits, automating the ordering, provisioning and management of off-net access services.  In addition, Global Capacity will use its unique optimization tools and algorithms to conduct a thorough analysis of Sidera’s off-net access services to quickly identify and implement network cost savings.

“Sidera Networks continues to look for ways to improve speed, flexibility, and cost control in our off-net strategy,” said Mike Sicoli, CEO of Sidera Networks. “The One Marketplace Access Exchange platform offers all three, with the significant added benefit of leveraging Global Capacity’s network optimization tools and intelligence to drive cost out of our existing business.”

“We are pleased to help Sidera achieve its business objectives of improving growth and profitability,” adds Patrick Shutt, CEO of Global Capacity.  “We believe Global Capacity’s unique combination of capabilities provides Sidera a clear competitive advantage as they expand their position as a premier provider of fiber optic services.”

Global Capacity’s One Marketplace Access Exchange enables real-time access to both client-specific rates as well as competitive market rates, automating the end-to-end process of off-net access procurement.  Global Capacity’s network optimization services entail a thorough and detailed analysis of off-net assets including contract reviews, capacity usage, network design and pricing.  This process culminates in a comprehensive inventory of off-net circuits, and is used to identify network redundancies and inefficiencies that commonly occur in growing network service provider organizations.  The end result is a more streamlined and cost-effective off-net circuit solution that can be managed more efficiently.
