Evidence finding
BT has been named a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Global WAN Services (formerly 'Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global') for 20 consecutive years as of the 2024 report, and again a Leader in the 2026 report. In the 2024 report BT was placed furthest for 'Completeness of Vision'. Note: this MQ evaluates telecom/MSP network service providers (BT, AT&T, NTT, Orange Business, Tata, Verizon, Vodafone, Colt, GTT, etc.) - separate from the Gartner MQ for SD-WAN, which evaluates underlying technology vendors (Fortinet, Cisco, VMware/Broadcom, HPE, Palo Alto, Versa) and does not list BT. ADDITIONAL: BT also references being named a leader in the 'IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed Security Services' (BT insight article dated 1 January 2021, title 'BT leads in IDC MarketScape for Global Managed Security Services', found via a related-content link on BT's UK University case study page) - this covers managed security services specifically, a related but distinct market from SD-WAN/managed network services. Not independently fetched/verified in this pass beyond the title and date; flagged for further verification if needed.
