"While providing clients with quality services has been Dimension Data's core business for decades, we constantly strive to further build our foundation and grow our leadership position in the ICT services market. In the last 12 months alone, Dimension Data made a number of strategic investments. We acquired the world-class telecom expense management company Xigo to accelerate our offerings in the managed communications space. In addition, we developed a strong enterprise mobility execution capability to enhance our ability to offer innovative solutions that address the entire spectrum of our clients' managed communications needs. Furthermore, we launched our Cloud Solutions Business Unit, doubling our cloud revenues, as well as increasing our customer base for cloud services to over 2,000 clients."

Dawson noted that being positioned as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Communications Outsourcing and Professional Services 2012 report comes on the eve of the launch of the next version of the company's enhanced support service, Uptime.  Uptime provides organizations with a support offering that helps them manage the full lifecycle of their IT environment and optimize IT support spend.

"Our global scale, footprint and reach, combined with our ability to offer our clients a complete suite of global services − consulting, procurement, professional, support, IT outsourcing and now managed ICT services − is unmatched in the marketplace, and we remain focused on becoming the number one services-led systems integrator in the world," Dawson concluded.
