Summary:
Windstream Enterprise is named in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide for the fourth consecutive year. What does this coveted achievement mean to us, our partners and our customers?
When it comes to choosing a Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) provider, the market is crowded with choices ranging from “pure play” Software as a Service (SaaS) providers to network providers, cable companies and resellers. This saturation can make it challenging for customers to identify which solution best satisfies their specific enterprise needs—needs that are often a mix of scalability, ease of management and use, service quality and control, security and compliance, and integration with other complementary business systems and applications.
So, now that Gartner—a widely respected industry analyst firm that delivers actionable, objective insights—has revealed its 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service for OfficeSuite UC, Worldwide, we can happily report that our clients will sleep well knowing that Windstream is positioned as one of the providers globally to have made the list.
