Evolve IP Named To Gartner's 2018 Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service, North America

WAYNE, Pa. - Oct. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- Evolve IP^®, The Cloud Strategy Company™, today announced that for the second consecutive year Gartner has named it to the Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service, North America. The noted service, the Evolve Contact Suite (ECS), can be fully-integrated with Evolve IP's award-winning Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solution or over-the-top as a stand-alone service with a business' current communications system. The integration of the two services represents part of the unique advantage of the Evolve IP OneCloud™ in which businesses can strategically deploy multiple cloud computing and cloud communications services on a single platform; a preference noted by the majority of IT professionals and business executives.

The 2018 report, which evaluates top CCaaS providers in North America, notes that, "North America's CCaaS market has matured to provide application leaders responsible for customer service and support with a range of competitive offers to consider as substitutes for traditional on-premises contact center infrastructure." Based on a detailed evaluation of vendors' ability to execute and completeness of vision, the Magic Quadrant can be seen as one of the most influential market analyses for the evaluation of enterprise technology solutions.
