In terms of communication, Fusion Connect (News - Alert) provides UCaaS with features like voice, video, messaging, and collaboration tools. Additionally, they offer Microsoft Teams Calling Services, and their CCaaS enhances customer service capabilities through cloud-based call center technology.

Their strengths lie in their focus on mid-market and enterprise clients, understanding the unique needs and challenges of larger businesses. With a broad range of services covering communication, connectivity, and security, Fusion Connect offers a comprehensive portfolio to address various business requirements.
These are things we see from the outside. But internally, Fusion Connect is also going through some changes.
First is the retirement of Mario DeRiggi, Chief Revenue Officer. DeRiggi has been an integral part of the company's journey with his expertise and dedication. His contributions have shaped Fusion Connect's trajectory, and his legacy of excellence and leadership will leave a lasting impact.
And Pieter Uittenbogaard will take on the role of Executive Vice President of Growth and Strategy where he will manage direct sales, channel sales, account management, solution engineering, and sales operations.
