DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Jul 17, 2014) - Masergy Communications Inc., a global leader in managed networking and cloud services, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, named Intelligent Service Control (ISC) as a 2014 INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award winner presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

The INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award honors products that display innovation, unique features and significant contributions toward improving communications technology. The awards are bestowed on those companies demonstrating groundbreaking contributions to the industry.

"The INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award represents the best and the most unique products and services that this industry has to offer. Masergy has proven their commitment to quality and the further development of the IP communications industry through its Intelligent Service Control," stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.

Masergy's ISC is designed for customers who are using its managed cloud networking services. The multiple award-winning ISC solution allows enterprise organizations to dynamically control their network services in real-time from any web-enabled device. Impressing this year's panel of judges is the solution's on-demand network elasticity and control that enables bandwidth to be instantly dialed up or down to effectively facilitate data back up or replication, disaster recovery and business continuity, unplanned high-definition videoconferencing calls, software updates, or cloud computing resources. Enterprises can increase and decrease the port size and service planes with just a mouse click or swipe of a finger while only paying for the extra bandwidth used.

"We empower our customers with software defined network control that delivers the agility and superior performance they require for strategic IT initiatives," said Tim Naramore, Masergy's Chief Technology Officer. "We are proud TMC has recognized Masergy for this prestigious award."

The 2014 TMC Labs Innovation Award recipients were announced on www.tmcnet.com/voip and will be published in INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
