Third parties have published many articles and references to the EVUA. We refer to these references on the WEB. Below are some quotes from members, suppliers, industry analysts and politicians that have worked with the EVUA.

 "The bargaining power in the hands of the users will, at least to some extent, counterbalance the market power of the telecommunications operators... An example of this (bargaining power) is the EVUA..."

Former CEC Competition Commissioner, Karel van Miert

 “Accenture has benefited greatly from the networking opportunities with other MNCs and suppliers provided via our EVUA membership. We have also been able to achieve substantial costs savings in the provisioning of our network (telecommunications) infrastructure by leveraging knowledge obtained via benchmarking and other organized activities within the EVUA and the Special Interest Groups (SIGs).”

Meredith Rose, Infrastructure Technical Design, Accenture

“Orange Business Services (formerly Equant) has benefited greatly from our partnership with the EVUA. In addition to making new contacts and leads through conferences and other events, we have gained valuable customer insights to help tailor our services and strategy to meet the demands of global customers. More recently, the EVUA provided an excellent platform for announcing our transition from Equant to Orange Business Services.”

Chris Ellis, Head of Customer Marketing, Orange Business Services

“The EVUA is a key forum in the global telecoms sector.  It is the best place to engage with large corporate network builders and managers. Their experience is particularly important for telecoms operators and Internet service providers building new network services in broadband and mobile because their end-users are first to try out these technologies and services. And they are key to understanding the business models that will develop out of the networks.”

David Molony, Former Chief Editor, Total Telecom

“Using EVUA Services’ RFP and contract negotiations support significantly reduced the project time for the procurement of a new IPVPN service. We also saved 30% on our previous network cost and are continuing to benefit from support in our contract management.”

Antonio Lopez, Hit Rail BV (management company for the Pan-European Railway Network)

"The EVUA and EVUA meetings are a great source of knowledge and provide
great professional networking opportunities."

Gerard Wood, Supv Network Services Applications - Telecom, Alticor Inc.
