Oliver Giering, Advisor of ISG/Experton Group and
lead advisor of the study said: "Placetel has developed very well
over the previous year and is therefore represented among some
major players in the Leadership Quadrant of our study. In the
rapidly growing UC market, there is still great potential for the
Placetel offering."
Peter Nowack, general manager and vice president,
BroadCloud Retail explains: "UCaaS is becoming the new core of
business communications. Therefore, we are particularly proud of
this recognition from ISG. Our position in the leadership quadrant
further confirms the opportunity to expand our solutions and align
them closely to the needs and demanding requirements of our
customers."
Not only did ISG praise the Placetel offering for
its broad functional spectrums, but also BroadSoft Germany's large
customer base for PBX systems from the cloud, as well as its strong
focus on medium-sized enterprises. According to ISG, new solutions
for business communication have been on the rise, especially for
small and medium-sized companies - not least due to the changeover
from ISDN to the All-IP network. In addition, the consulting firm
appreciated that Placetel is operated via computer centers in
Germany. "For many of our customers, this is particularly
important for data availability and security," said Peter
Nowack.
Due to market trends and strong growth, ISG has
evaluated the UCaaS topic for the first time this year. UCaaS means
the cloud-based integration of various communication channels,
collaboration solutions and other applications on a single
platform. Thus, UCaaS is of crucial importance for modern business
communication.
