With an increasing requirement in the multi-national Enterprise
community for collaborative, business critical application sharing
capabilities, Reliance
Globalcom has delivered a focused expansion of secure,
high-bandwidth connectivity solutions into emerging markets. With
processes specifically designed to manage the kind of multi-carrier
networks critical for truly global business scalability, Reliance
Globalcom has seen significant company growth in the form of new
business, service expansion orders and major contract extensions with
companies including SGS,
Richco
and United
Biscuits.
“We have seen our global network costs reduced by 20 percent, as
Reliance Globalcom’s flexible, Hybrid VNO sourcing means we no longer
have to negotiate and manage contracts with the multiple, in-country
carrier and service providers and can concentrate on our key business
deliverables”
“As increasing business growth opportunities are being recognized in the
emerging economies of the world, as well as India and China, our
customers and competitors understand the value of multi-supplier
networks, procured with unmatched expertise in every local market,” said
Punit Garg, president and CEO, Reliance Globalcom. “We have more than 20
years of experience in this specific service provision, and backed by
expansions to our global Ethernet VPLS, IP MPLS and IP VPN
network offerings, we have witnessed a significant increase in our
customer base and profitability in 2010.”
“Reliance Globalcom manages more than 1,000 circuits from more than 100
different local, regional and global carriers within our network,” said
Stefan Schnydrig, CIO, SGS. “As a single point of contact for any
network related issues, Reliance Globalcom provides the flexibility to
scale our operations rapidly, and ensures we are cost competitive in
every market.”
“We have seen our global network costs reduced by 20 percent, as

No single provider can adequately secure high-bandwidth connectivity
between all emerging and established international markets. While
partnering with local providers to extend service offerings to match
global Enterprise requirements has been a tactic aggressively pursued by
many international carriers recently, Reliance Globalcom’s Hybrid VNO
approach has been founded on this reality since 1988 by utilizing
processes and systems specifically designed to support the management of
these multivendor global networks. Some specific examples of this core
competency, process differentiators include:
Management of third party circuits, with more than 700 service
provider partners globally
Incentivized, year-on-year network optimization for multi-carrier
solutions
Globally consistent SLAs, regardless of underlying carrier
Business focused on managed services, not owned bandwidth optimization
Extensive, transparent and fully-integrated network-agnostic reporting
portals and tools
Reliance Globalcom’s established heritage in this complex network design
approach has significantly contributed to positive mid-year financial
results and strong growth in global managed network contract wins.
Reliance Globalcom Reported the Following on September 30, 2009:
Reliance Globalcom business revenue grew by 20% on a
quarter-on-quarter basis; EBITDA has grown by 16% and EBIT by 30% on

Strong New Business Momentum through Trusted Consultation and Network
Agility:
Reliance Globalcom’s customer base has expanded significantly, with
several new multi-million dollar contracts signed. These wins are based
on the completion of a detailed network capability and requirement
consultation and the provision of high-bandwidth, scalable solutions
matched to meet the customers’ evolving business needs. The Qatar
Foundation educational institute as well as a number of other global
organizations are now benefiting from these advantages:

management. This included Managed Internet Access and Remote Access
Services to connect 74 office and manufacturing sites across 20
countries worldwide. More

Continued Organic Growth through Existing Customer Renewals and

Enterprise customers looking to further increase their efficiency and
reduce the total cost of ownership of their networks. Major contract

made by Bavaria, a leading global brewing company; CFS, a
leading food processing and packaging operator; and by Molex, a
leading one-source supplier of interconnect products. Additional
