To meet the ongoing market demand for its One Marketplace Access Exchange, Global Capacity has appointed Greg Hough to drive strategy of the platform.   Since May, when the company announced the uptake and growth of the platform, One Marketplace Access Exchange continues to exceed market expectations.  Many network operators struggle to price, provision and install last mile circuits due to cost, lack of reach, inability to source, etc.  This platform solves that problem, providing users visibility into the market based on price, location, and ability to deliver, providing a <60 second turn-around time for an accurate price quote.

The One Marketplace Access Exchange is a more streamlined solution to accurately price, buy, provision and track order implementation of global access circuits.  It is also a channel for providers to offer their on-net access capabilities to a demand driven marketplace.
