CHICAGO, Sept. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Corporation, a global provider of communication and network infrastructure services, announced today that Gartner, Inc. has positioned the Company in the Leaders Quadrant of its annual “Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Worldwide”1 report for the sixth year in a row. West believes this placement is further validation of the Company’s ability to provide seamless connectivity through its UCaaS solutions and the Company’s completeness of vision in the telecommunications space.
“We believe this placement is another proof point of West’s continued performance and consistency delivering global solutions in the rapidly evolving UCaaS space,” said Scott Etzler, West’s Unified Communications Services segment president. “Our strong partnerships, system-integrator mindset and dedication to providing flexible and agile solutions while continuing to expand our global reach has been key to our longstanding placement in Gartner’s UCaaS Leaders Quadrant.”
According to Gartner:
“Vendors in the Leaders quadrant have been delivering complete UCaaS solutions for multiple years, have a base of enterprise clients and support a large volume of total users. These vendors have their accounts implementing a comprehensive and integrated UCaaS solution set that addresses the full range of market needs; a proven ability to service large accounts; and a commitment to the North American, European, and Asia/Pacific markets. These vendors have defined migration and evolution plans for their products in core UCaaS areas and are using their solution sets to acquire new clients, expand their geographical footprints, and innovate to new functional areas.”
Among the acknowledged leaders, West brings unique expertise in providing our midmarket and large enterprise clients with comprehensive, cloud-based unified communications solutions. In addition, West continues to expand its communications services with support for high-end video conferencing, Dolby Voice® enhanced audio offerings; and most recently, expanded infrastructure and capabilities throughout the Asia-Pacific region with the acquisition of the cloud collaboration practice from Vocus Group in Australia. West has widespread experience in designing, deploying and managing UCaaS solutions as well as the ability to provide valuable long-term support to our clients.
