CORBIS SELECTS MASERGY'S MPLS NETWORK TO DELIVER INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY Convergence Technology Streamlines Services to Corbis Clients
DALLAS (September 21, 2005) - Masergy Communications, Inc. announced that Corbis, a provider of image licensing and related services to publishers and advertisers, has selected MASERGY's Intelligent MPLS Transport Network as the global service platform to enable the world's most advanced image delivery service for their clients. Corbis' converged global network will allow the company's international client base streamlined access to its customer solutions.
Since the beginning of the year, Corbis has expanded operations in fifteen countries in North America, Europe, and Asia to provide localized service to its clients. This expansion pushed the limits of its existing systems and drove the need for a new global solution.
"Corbis is committed to helping clients find the perfect image-quickly, efficiently and easily," said John Loomis, chief information officer for Corbis. "Our growing international presence has demanded that we find, test, and deploy leading-edge technology to deliver the most advanced visual imagery and related services on the planet."
With twenty offices in fifteen countries around the world, Corbis requires consistent, high-quality VoIP, video and data services in Asia, Europe and North America. After a thorough evaluation process, the company selected MASERGY to build its global corporate network to support current growth and future expansion. The result is better quality and faster service delivery to its customers.
"MASERGY impressed us with their industry-leading network services, their proven track record and their commitment to our success," said Loomis. "The fact that they can deliver the exact same services everywhere on the planet with end-to-end quality guarantees that we won't have to guess how our new software will perform."
"Corbis wanted a network solution that put their customers first while improving their business application performance and lowering their network costs," said Chris Nabinger, chief technology officer for MASERGY. "They clearly understand the robust infrastructure required for superior service delivery in the creative services industry."
