Verizon Private IP Enhances Network Management and Improves Cost Efficiencies

MUMBAI, India, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Aditya Birla Minacs, a leading
provider of business process outsourcing services, has selected Verizon
Business to upgrade its global communications network to enhance management
capabilities and achieve greater cost efficiencies. The company has
implemented a fully managed Verizon Private IP solution to link its Indian

United Kingdom and the United States.
Part of the US$24 billion Aditya Birla group, Aditya Birla Minacs has

sites. Quality of service is supported by Verizon Business' industry-leading

Minacs needed a highly reliable communications network and a dependable
partner with the experience to support its growth. Verizon Business' expansive
