Network Solutions Group (NetSG), a leading telecommunications and managed network provider, today announced it has achieved Elite Managed Network Partner (MNP) status through the Juniper Partner Advantage (JPA) program, becoming the first company in Australia and New Zealand to earn this prestigious designation with multiple specialisations. The achievement is complemented by Elite-level specialisations in SD-WAN, Branch as a Service, and WiFi solutions.

The Elite MNP Partner Assurance designation recognises NetSG’s superior managed service capabilities and commitment to delivering exceptional network solutions to enterprise clients across the region. This milestone was achieved through a comprehensive Partner Assured assessment conducted by ISSI (Independent Software and Systems Integration), demonstrating NetSG’s excellence in business practices and technical expertise.

“We’re thrilled to congratulate NetSG for their outstanding achievement in earning the Elite MNP Partner Assurance designation,” said Jodi Gieg, Manager of the Global MNP Program. “NetSG’s unwavering pursuit of excellence and dedication to improving business practices has not gone unnoticed. This accomplishment demonstrates their superior managed service capabilities and reinforces our partnership while setting the stage for continued success.”

The Elite status provides NetSG with significant competitive advantages, including priority access to Juniper’s sales teams and customers requiring managed network services or Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solutions within their region. This designation positions NetSG at the forefront of the managed network market in Australia and New Zealand.

“Achieving Elite Managed Network Partner status represents years of investment in our people, processes, and technology capabilities,” said Laura Veness, General Manager – Sales and Marketing at NetSG. “This recognition validates our commitment to delivering world-class managed network services and positions us uniquely to serve enterprise clients who demand the highest levels of service excellence and technical expertise.”NetSG’s Elite-level specialisations encompass three critical areas of modern enterprise networking:

  • SD-WAN Solutions: Advanced software-defined wide area networking capabilities that optimise application performance and reduce networking costs
  • Branch as a Service: Comprehensive managed branch networking solutions that simplify remote office connectivity and management
  • WiFi Specialisation: Enterprise-grade wireless networking solutions designed for maximum performance and security

“NetSG’s achievement as the first Elite Managed Network Partner in Australia and New Zealand is a true milestone for the region,” said Darrin Iatrou, Area Partner Director, ANZ, Juniper Networks. “Their commitment to innovation, customer success, and operational excellence exemplifies what it means to be a top-tier Juniper partner. With Elite-level specialisations across the modern enterprise networking spectrum, NetSG is perfectly positioned to lead the way in delivering AI-native, cloud-first network solutions that help enterprises in ANZ thrive.”

The Partner Assured assessment evaluated NetSG across multiple dimensions, including technical competencies, service delivery processes, customer satisfaction metrics, and business operations. The Elite designation represents the highest tier of achievement within the Juniper Partner Advantage program.

“This achievement opens doors to further collaboration and innovation with Juniper Networks while providing our clients with enhanced access to cutting-edge networking technologies,” added Laura Veness, General Manager – Sales and Marketing . “We’re excited to leverage this partnership to accelerate growth and deliver even greater value to our customers across Australia and New Zealand.”

The Elite MNP designation also strengthens NetSG’s wholesale partner program, enabling the company to provide best-of-breed telecommunications solutions across both WAN and LAN environments to its extensive partner community. NetSG’s wholesale partners can now leverage these Elite-level capabilities to enhance their own service offerings and deliver superior value to their end customers.

“Our wholesale partner community is integral to our success, and this Elite status enables us to provide them with unparalleled access to world-class connectivity and managed network solutions,” said Laura. “By combining our Elite specialisations in SD-WAN, Branch as a Service, and WiFi with our comprehensive wholesale program, we’re empowering our partners to compete at the highest levels in their respective markets.”

The Elite MNP status reinforces NetSG’s position as a trusted advisor for organisations seeking to modernise their network infrastructure and adopt cloud-first networking strategies. With this designation, NetSG joins an exclusive group of global partners recognised for their exceptional managed network capabilities.
