The unified communications as a service (UCaaS) landscape changes rapidly. In just the past couple of years, questions about phone models and traditional feature functionality have become less relevant as next-generation technologies and customer experience (CX) enhancing capabilities have transformed the UCaaS space. Our team of cloud consultants recently met with representatives from Vonage, a vendor in our partner network that offers cutting-edge business communications solutions. Here’s an overview of what we learned about their solutions and how they can help businesses give their communications capabilities a boost.
Provider Overview
Vonage is a leading business cloud communications provider based in Holmdel, New Jersey, with additional offices across the U.S., Europe, Asia and Israel.
