Rather than viewing networks as static infrastructure, organizations now see them as programmable digital foundations that improve business agility. Distributed workforces, cloud-first application strategies and evolving security requirements are also shaping their perspective. This transition reflects a broader shift toward software-defined network platforms with embedded security.<\/p>\n<p>\nEnterprise buying behavior is increasingly shaped by the convergence of networking and security. Organizations expect SD-WAN, security service edge (SSE) and secure access service edge (SASE) to operate as a unified service and are prioritizing multicloud application performance, operational resilience and commercial flexibility. Buyers also favor vendor-agnostic service integration to address complex legacy estates and avoid long-term lock-in.<\/p>\n<p>\nOrganizations in the U.K. now view automation as a baseline capability rather than a premium offering as they pursue predictive incident management, continuous optimization and stronger operational resilience. AI for IT operations (AIOps), closed-loop assurance and intent-based policy control are becoming integral to managed services, helping organizations improve visibility, governance and automation across hybrid and multicloud environments, ISG says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCompanies in the U.K. are evaluating providers on their ability to reduce complexity while delivering secure, integrated and AI-enabled network operations,\u201d said Yash Jethani, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. \u201cProviders that combine strong orchestration capabilities with operational expertise and platform integration will be best positioned to support long-term enterprise transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report also explores other trends affecting the U.K. market, including the growing role of private 5G and edge networking and the long-term potential of quantum networking technologies.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more insights into the networking challenges faced by enterprises in the U.K., plus ISG&#8217;s advice for overcoming them, see the ISG Provider Lens<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Focal Points briefing <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fei.isg-one.com%2FResearch%2F_MarketingPage%3FdashboardID%3D201a11ca-c115-4a33-a9f7-941eceefbbd1%26documentId%3DvAiZi0ATVh&amp;esheet=54574811&amp;newsitemid=20260722224505&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=3&amp;md5=eaa9f392ba1352918dffcff6a992a78f\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report evaluates the capabilities of 41 providers across three quadrants: Managed SD-WAN Services, Edge Technologies and Services (Including Private 5G) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).<\/p>\n<p>\nIt names BT Business, Capgemini, Colt, Computacenter, NTT DATA, Orange Business and Vodafone as Leaders in all three quadrants.
