SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 28, 2018 /CNW/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the Communications Applications and Platforms as a Service Industry, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Vonage with the North American Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award for its comprehensive portfolio of solutions that offer both unified communications as a service (UCaaS) and communications platform as a service (CPaaS) capabilities via Nexmo, the Vonage API Platform, combined with extensive third-party solution integrations.

"By integrating unified communications capabilities with contextual communications embedded into website, productivity and vertical software via APIs, Vonage is positioned to drive better business outcomes for its customers," said Elka Popova, Frost & Sullivan VP and Senior Fellow.
