Verizon Earns Recognition from Frost & Sullivan for Outstanding Achievement in Both the Audio Conferencing and Hosted IP Telephony & UCaaS MarketsSANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 9, 2018 /CNW/ -- Based on a recent analysis of two significant business communications markets, Frost & Sullivan is recognizing Verizon with two prestigious awards—the 2017 North American Product Leadership Award for the Audio Conferencing market and the 2017 North American Product Line Leadership Award for the Hosted Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony and Unified Communications As-a-Service (UCaaS) market. Verizon is one of the largest audio conferencing providers in North America, demonstrating a strong dedication to offering quality audio conferencing services and continued expansion through partnered web and video services. Audio conferencing is at the heart of every conferencing and collaboration deployment, and is the one critical component that cannot be allowed to fail or under-perform. When video, screen sharing, or collaborative document editing fails, a meeting can still continue; however, if audio fails, it impacts the conference more adversely than any other element of the system. It comes as no surprise that the single-most requested improvement to conferencing technology by clients is audio quality.

It also enables quick resolution of any issues that may arise during a conference call," said Alaa Saayed, Principal Analyst at Frost & Sulliva. Verizon has positioned its audio service to adhere to the needs of a large spectrum of adopting organizations. The provider's offerings range from low-cost, instant meetings to large, managed presentations.
