• A disciplined approach to evaluating additional accretive acquisitions as it continues to target local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers, which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving business customers. The Company will assimilate best practices from its acquisitions to optimize productivity and performance throughout the organization.
• A continued focus on the U.S. market of SMBs, of which a significant portion has not yet migrated to a UCaaS or cloud communication solution.
• A continued emphasis on the Company’s channel strategy that enables its Agents and Partners to offer cloud and session-based communication services to the business market, primarily the SMB.
• Continued enhancement of its infrastructure and back-office systems to streamline operations and automate processes for efficiency, all which support both its organic and acquisition-based growth model.
• Implementing a total support model (pre and post sales) for building a world-class service delivery and help desk organization.
