AT&T named a Leader in 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed IoT Connectivity Services, Worldwide

Gartner named AT&T a Leader in its 2021 Magic Quadrant report. This marks the 7th year in a row that the global research and advisory firm has recognized AT&T as a Leader in Managed IoT Connectivity Services, Worldwide.

This Magic Quadrant report evaluated 18 IoT vendors across the globe to determine "the quality and efficacy of the processes, systems, methods, or procedures that enable IT provider performance to be competitive, efficient and effective, and to positively impact revenue, retention and reputation" within Gartner's view of the market.

According to Gartner, "I&O leaders building IoT enabled businesses can use this document to assess for multiregional IoT connectivity and value-added services requirements."

Evaluation Criteria

Gartner uses the following criteria to evaluates vendors:

• Product or service
• Overall viability
• Sales execution/pricing
• Market responsiveness
• Market execution
• Customer experience
• Operations

As one of the requirements of vendor evaluation, Gartner assesses "each provider's ability to meet its goals and commitments." This helps businesses determine which vendors are able to deliver consistent, reliable IoT outcomes. "We speak to the service providers about their main procedures (operational, transitional and relating to program management, relationship management and change management) and ask their reference customers for feedback about those procedures."
