Fuze Named a Visionary in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service


Fuze, the leading cloud-based communications provider for the modern global enterprise, today announced that Gartner (News - Alert), Inc. recognized the company as the only Visionary in its 2020 Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide. This is the eleventh time that Fuze* has been included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications (News - Alert) as a Service, Worldwide report.

According to Gartner, by 2024, remote workers will represent 30% of all employees worldwide, an increase of 13% over 2019, to nearly 600 million employees. The Fuze platform empowers enterprise technology leaders to modernize communications, reduce costs, and enable their workforce to collaborate from any location. Fuze is built exclusively for the enterprise, providing an intuitive unified communications and contact center platform that has been critical to keeping teams connected this year through calling, meetings, chatting, and content sharing.

We are proud to be recognized again by Gartner as we believe it confirms the value of our strategy and focus for enterprise organizations around the world."

Fuze continues to set the standard for enterprise collaboration in the future of work. Earlier this year, Fuze announced its decision to focus solely on serving enterprises with over 500 users. With this approach, Fuze introduced a series of new product enhancements, including new supervisor and agent desktop features and enhanced mobile agent access with Fuze's contact center.
