German Companies Lead European SDN Adoption
FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The demand for modern, secure, cloud-enabled enterprise networks is rising among German companies as they align their digital strategies with international trends and evolving business needs, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. SD-WANs are increasingly seen as crucial for digital advancement among German companies. This technology enables enterprises to update their networks without the need to replace all existing hardware. Share The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Network — Software-Defined Solutions and Services report for Germany finds that German organizations are increasing their adoption of software-defined networking to improve performance, security and connectivity while minimizing operational cost. Over the past two years, system integrators and network providers have contributed to this trend by delivering flexible solutions and consumption-based managed services models that address enterprise demands. Germany's position as one of the largest national consumers of software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solutions is reinforced by a strong provider ecosystem and growing requirements for standardized, scalable networking across global operations. 'SD-WANs are increasingly seen as crucial for digital advancement among German companies,' said Jon Harrod, partner and network advisory lead at ISG. 'This technology enables enterprises to update their networks without the need to replace all existing hardware.' German enterprises are simplifying operations and making networks more adaptable through the adoption of SD-WAN solutions to accelerate network transformation, the report says. These solutions enable centralized cloud-based management, automate network functions and offer real-time analytics. They also allow organizations to streamline resource management and reduce complexity, thereby avoiding frequent hardware replacements. A major driver behind this transformation is the rapid migration to cloud and multicloud environments. Enterprises in Germany are using SDN solutions to make cloud transitions with minimal disruptions, ISG says. The technology's ability to manage multicloud environments while ensuring comprehensive network oversight has been key to its widespread adoption. Software-defined networking also benefits companies by enabling secure data transfer across varied platforms and making it easier to deploy and optimize cloud-native technologies. As organizations in Germany adapt to new environments, security becomes even more critical, the report says. Software-defined networking enables companies to integrate advanced security functions, such as encryption, access controls and threat detection, either alone or as part of broader secure access service edge (SASE) frameworks. Simultaneously, adoption of new technologies, including AI, generative AI and machine learning, demands flexible and adaptable network infrastructures. SDN solutions deliver these capabilities, providing superior management, real-time adaptability and automation. 'German companies that use advanced edge computing and 5G technology services benefit from the seamless and secure integration that software-defined networking offers,' said Dr. Kenn Walters, global principal lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research. 'When these services are managed externally, organizations can do less training and fewer software upgrades, focusing instead on strategic objectives.' The report also explores other SDN-related trends in Germany, including the increasing adoption of usage-based pricing models, particularly among small to medium enterprises, and the integration of SD-WAN within SASE in larger enterprises. For more insights into SDN-related challenges faced by enterprises in Germany, along with ISG's advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens® Focal Points briefing here. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Network — Software-Defined Solutions and Services report for Germany evaluates the capabilities of 39 providers across four quadrants: Managed SD-WAN Services, SD-Networks Transformation Services (Consulting and Implementation), Edge Technologies and Services (Including Private 5G), and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). The report names Accenture, Deutsche Telekom, Logicalis, Orange Business and Wipro as Leaders in all four quadrants. Computacenter and Vodafone are named as Leaders in three quadrants each. Axians, Colt, HCLTech, Tech Mahindra and Verizon Business are named as Leaders in two quadrants each, while BT, CANCOM, GTT and Riedel Networks are named as Leaders in one quadrant each. In addition, HCLTech is named as a Rising Star — a company with a 'promising portfolio' and 'high future potential' by ISG's definition — in two quadrants. In the area of customer experience, HCLTech is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among SDN providers. HCLTech earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry. Customized versions of the report are available from Computacenter, Deutsche Telekom and GTT.

TSMC Shares Surge as Taiwan Says Firm Exempt From Trump Tariffs
(Bloomberg) -- Taiwan said its leading chip manufacturer will not have to pay a 100% tariff on such imports to the US, helping drive Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. shares to a record. All Hail the Humble Speed Hump Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads Major Istanbul Projects Are Stalling as City Leaders Sit in Jail PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station 'TSMC is exempted from the chip tariffs because it has set up plants in the US,' Liu Chin-ching, minister in charge of the National Development Council, said in Taipei on Thursday. As for other Taiwanese companies that may be affected by the levies, they 'shall continue to stay ahead' if competitors face the same charges. The US government has also expressed willingness to continue negotiations with Taiwan on tariff issues, Liu added. The government still expects economic growth in 2025 to reach the level of 3.1%, despite the impact of the new levies, Liu said. TSMC manufactures the most advanced chips used in artificial intelligence, and the island's technology exports drove growth to a blistering 7.96% in the second quarter, the fastest pace in four years. The trillion-dollar company accounts for almost 40% of the weight of Taiwan's benchmark stock index, and its rally Thursday helped lift the broader benchmark. The Taiwan dollar also gained as much as 0.6% to 29.808, the strongest level in a week, after the government confirmed TSMC is exempted from the US chip tariffs. United Microelectronics Corp., Taiwan's second-largest chipmaker, may also reduce the impact of tariffs through its cooperation with Intel Corp., Liu said. 'Investors had been apprehensive while awaiting the tariff rate for semiconductors, but exemptions for Taiwan's largest company have allayed concerns,' said Khoon Goh, head of Asia research at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group. 'Foreign equity inflows on the back of this news have helped pushed TWD stronger. With the dividend repatriation flows now largely complete, and with the USD back under pressure again, we could see further appreciation in TWD near-term.' On Wednesday, Trump said he would impose a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports, but cited Apple Inc. as an example of a company that won't have to pay levies because of its investment in the US. 'If you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge,' Trump said. 'Even though you're building and you're not producing yet.' In March, TSMC announced an additional $100 billion investment in the US, with three more fabs, two advanced packaging facilities and a research and development center in Arizona, raising its total investment in the US to $165 billion. The US recently imposed a 20% tariff on goods from Taiwan, but said the chip sector would be treated separately. That levy is higher than the 15% Taiwan's main regional competitors like Japan and South Korea both secured. Still, companies and governments continue to scramble to assess the impact of Trump's various tariff announcements. South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. has chip fabs in Texas and is joining Apple's 'American Manufacturing Program,' making it well-positioned to avoid tariffs. But the government of Malaysia, a significant semiconductor exporter, on Thursday said it has reached out to the US seeking clarity on the tariffs. --With assistance from Betty Hou, Wenjin Lv and Anisah Shukry.
