Transaction Network Services (TNS), a global provider of managed network and payment solutions, has appointed Michael Johnson as Global Managing Director for its Payments Market business. In his new role, Johnson will oversee TNS's global Payments Market operations, shaping strategy and driving growth across its product portfolio and international markets. He will work closely with regional management teams and the company's corporate leadership as TNS looks to strengthen its position in the payments and connectivity space amid rising demand for secure, scalable infrastructure. Johnson is not new to TNS. He joined the company in 2017 as Vice President of APAC Operations, overseeing network operations across the Asia Pacific region. He was promoted to Managing Director for Asia Pacific Payments in 2018 and later took charge of the ADVAM suite of solutions following its acquisition by TNS. Before joining TNS, Johnson spent 15 years at First Data Australia and New Zealand, rising to Vice President of Global Service Delivery. He also served as CEO of PAX Technology Australia. Originally from New Zealand, he began his career as a Project Manager at Centrica Telecommunications in London before moving to Sydney in 2002. Commenting on the appointment, Johnson said he was honored to take on the global role, noting that customers need a trusted partner capable of simplifying complexity while providing resilient infrastructure for their commerce operations.

Transaction Network Services (TNS) has won two platinum awards in the 2026 Future Digital Awards for Telco Innovation, recognised for Best Branded Calling Solution and Best Robocall Mitigation Solution. The awards acknowledge TNS's role in addressing declining answer rates for enterprise outbound calls, as consumers grow wary of unknown numbers and spam activity. TNS Enterprise Branded Calling displays verified company information on incoming call screens, while TNS Call Guardian provides communications service providers with real-time analytics and authentication to identify fraudulent traffic. The Reston, Virginia-based company analyses 1.5 billion daily call events to help protect networks and applications. General Manager Seth Walton said enhancing trust in voice communications requires coordinated efforts between service providers and enterprises to authenticate legitimate traffic and prevent spoofing.
TNS earns dual platinum wins in 2026 Future Digital Awards for Telco Innovation. Communications, Award, Branded Calling, Robocalls, Telecom, Trusted Communications Recognized for Best Branded Calling and Best Robocall Mitigation Solutions designed for enterprises and carriers working to strengthen trust in voice communications Transaction Network Services (TNS) has earned two platinum honors - the highest distinction - in the 2026 Future Digital Awards for Telco Innovation, recognized for both Best Branded Calling Solution and Best Robocall Mitigation Solution. The dual recognition comes at a pivotal moment for the voice ecosystem. Across North America, enterprises are seeing fewer outbound calls answered as consumers grow increasingly cautious about unknown numbers and continued spam and impersonation activity. Industry forecasts indicate that contact center answer rates are expected to continue tightening in the coming years, placing even greater importance on call authentication, transparency and communications fraud prevention. For enterprises, voice remains a mission-critical channel, used to deliver alerts, healthcare updates, payment notifications and essential customer service interactions. As fraud tactics evolve, legitimate businesses are prioritizing technologies that help ensure their calls are verified, clearly identified, and trusted by the customers they serve. TNS' platinum wins underscore its leadership in enabling trust at scale. TNS Enterprise Branded Calling enables authenticated enterprises to display verified brand information including company name and logo - directly on incoming call screens, helping customers immediately recognize legitimate calls. Complementing this, TNS Call Guardian and the TNS Enterprise Product Suite provide Communications Service Providers (CSPs) with real-time analytics, authentication and spoof protection capabilities designed to identify and mitigate fraudulent traffic before it reaches subscribers. "Winning Platinum in both categories reflects the industry's recognition that enhancing trust in voice requires a coordinated approach across CSPs and enterprises," said Seth Walton, General Manager, Communications Market at TNS. "Our focus is on helping both sides authenticate legitimate traffic, stop spoofing and ensure trusted calls get through. Enterprises depend on voice for critical customer engagement, and CSPs play a central role in protecting that channel. Together, our branded calling, authentication and robocall mitigation capabilities strengthen confidence in the voice ecosystem - supporting carriers, protecting enterprises and enabling consumers to answer with greater trust." Sam Barker, VP of Telecoms Market Research at Juniper Research added: "Solutions that combine branded calling, authentication and real-time fraud analytics are becoming increasingly important as enterprises look to protect engagement rates and safeguard customers. Recognition in the Future Digital Awards highlights vendors demonstrating measurable innovation in addressing this industry-wide challenge."
TNS on combating voice spoofing and restoring trust in Enterprise calling, podcast. By Doug Green "Businesses are experiencing a form of identity theft in voice - and they're paying the price for fraud they didn't create." At the Channel Partners Conference & Expo 2026, I spoke with Maurie Munro, Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Transaction Network Services (TNS), about one of the most urgent challenges facing the telecom ecosystem: the collapse of trust in voice. TNS operates at the intersection of enterprises, carriers, and consumers, with a communications division focused on ensuring that legitimate calls are delivered, recognized, and trusted. But as Munro explained, the reality is far more complex. Today's voice environment is shaped by widespread spoofing and fraud, where bad actors impersonate legitimate businesses by using real phone numbers without authorization. The result is what Munro describes as "identity theft in voice," where enterprises suffer reputational and operational damage from activity they didn't initiate. Consumers, in turn, have adapted. Caller ID is no longer trusted. Calls are ignored, labeled as "Spam Likely," or blocked altogether - often impacting legitimate outreach. For enterprises, that translates into declining answer rates, reduced campaign performance, and strained customer relationships. TNS brings a data-driven approach to solving this problem, processing more than 1.5 billion call events daily. This scale gives the company deep visibility into how calls are treated across networks and where breakdowns in trust occur. The company's TNS-COM business focuses on three critical areas: * Spoof protection, which helps enterprises identify when and how their numbers are being misused without their knowledge * Enterprise branded calling, which displays a verified business name and logo on the consumer's device * Telephone number reputation monitoring, providing visibility into how calls are labeled, scored, and treated across the ecosystem Together, these capabilities help enterprises protect their brand identity in voice - much like consumers monitor and protect their personal identity in financial systems. The impact is particularly acute in high-touch industries such as banking, healthcare, retail, and contact centers, where voice remains essential for critical communications like fraud alerts, appointment reminders, and service notifications. When those calls fail to connect - or worse, are mistrusted - the consequences ripple across operations, increasing costs and reducing effectiveness. Looking ahead, Munro sees branded calling evolving beyond simple identification. While displaying a business name is important, the future lies in richer context - logo, intent, and verified identity working together to rebuild trust at scale. "The goal isn't just to get the call through," Munro emphasized. "It's to ensure the person receiving it knows who it's from - and can trust it." As the industry continues to combat fraud and improve call authentication frameworks, the next phase is clear: restoring confidence in voice as a trusted channel for both businesses and consumers.
