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.

Wall Street gains, as oil ends lower in volatile trade
By Chris Prentice and Alun John NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -Wall Street indexes gained on Wednesday on largely upbeat corporate earnings, and U.S. yields also rose, while European shares closed flat and broke a two-day winning streak. U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on goods from India, saying the country has imported Russian oil. Oil prices seesawed and finished down, as Trump's remarks about progress in talks with Moscow created uncertainty on whether the U.S. would impose new sanctions on Russia.[O/R] MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe rose 0.65% to 933.23. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq Composite led gains, rising 1.21% to 21,169.42 as Apple shares climbed after news of its plans to announce a domestic manufacturing pledge. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.18% to 44,193.12 and the S&P 500 rose 0.73% to 6,345.06. "Earnings are seeing a mixed reaction. Particularly for a few of the AI names, expectations were just extremely high, but by and large, the earnings in aggregate have been good enough to keep a floor under the market," said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird. Europe's broad STOXX 600 index closed 0.06% lower, dragged down by healthcare stocks after Trump announced a tariff plan for the pharmaceutical sector. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed lower by 0.08% to 654.33, while Japan's Nikkei rose 0.60% to 40,794.86. The health of the U.S. economy is a major focus for markets, and Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday after data showed services sector activity unexpectedly flatlined in July. That reinforced the message from Friday's soft jobs data, which caused markets to significantly increase bets on the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September. "There's this tug-of-war going on between the more concrete signs that we have seen that the U.S. economy is slowing and the fact that rate cuts are coming, which removes some of the pressure on valuations," said Samy Chaar, chief economist at Lombard Odier. Traders have been focused on tariff impacts. "The market is more focused on the fact that we're not getting maximalist tariffs, but I wonder if it isn't focusing enough on the fact that we are still getting something moderate, and more could be coming, pharmaceuticals for example," Chaar said. Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips in the next week or so, while the U.S. would initially impose a "small tariff" on pharmaceutical imports before increasing it substantially in a year or two. He said the U.S. was close to a trade deal with China, and he would meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before the end of the year if an agreement was struck. Brazil's government has filed a consultation request at the World Trade Organization over U.S. tariffs. In the government bond market, Treasury yields gained ground. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 3.4 basis points to 4.23%, from 4.196% late on Tuesday. The yield on the benchmark German 10-year Bunds rose 0.2 basis points to 2.644%, from 2.642% late on Wednesday. Fed funds futures imply a 94% chance of a rate cut next month, with at least two cuts priced in for this year, according to the CME's FedWatch. Investors are waiting for Trump's pick to fill a coming vacancy on the Fed board of governors. Trump said the decision will be made soon, while ruling out Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a contender to replace current chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May 2026. The euro was up 0.68% at $1.1653.[FRX/] The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, fell 0.5% to 98.24. Brent crude futures fell 75 cents, or 1.1%, to settle at $66.89 a barrel, while U.S. crude dropped 81 cents, or 1.2%, to settle at $64.35.[O/R] Spot gold fell 0.36% to $3,368.65 an ounce. U.S. gold futures settled flat at $3,433.4.
