Star2Star Communications (News - Alert), a company that provides cloud communication solutions, was recently recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the 2014 North American Unified Communications (News - Alert) Deployment Architectures Product Differentiation Excellence Award. Star2Star was recognized after it edged past other competitors in terms of performance and product differentiation.
"Premises-based IP telephony and UC systems typically offer richer functionality and superior reliability, whereas hosted IP telephony and cloud UC solutions offer greater flexibility and allow the business to focus on its core revenue-generating activities,” said Elka Popova, North American Program Director, Unified Communications & Collaboration Information and Communication Technologies at Frost and Sullivan, in a recent press release. “As businesses seek to future-proof their communications technology investments they hesitate to choose either one of the more common deployment models. Star2Stars Blended Architecture provides an alternative that combines the best of both worlds. It offers a safer migration path to businesses reluctant to make a substantial investment in a complex new premises-based system or to entrust all of their communications capabilities to the cloud. "
Star2Star Communications claims that it delivers the world’s most complete and scalable cloud communications solution, which unifies customers' voice, video, fax, instant messaging and presence management into a single, easy-to-use system. The solutions are sold through a diversified network of partners that include distributors, master agents, managed service providers and certified installing dealers. Available across North America, Star2Star systems are used by hundreds of thousands of business users, including large national chains with multi-location communications footprints.
In related news, Star2Star Communications recently received the Internet Telephony Excellence Award for the fourth consecutive year. The award is presented each year by Internet Telephony Magazine (News - Alert) to honor products and services that have made significant contributions in advancing technology in unified communications. The award arrives on the heels of Star2Star's fourth consecutive placement on the prestigious Inc. 500|5000 list.
