Cloud communications is on the rise.
In an era where flexibility, scalability, and mobility are essential, the cloud offers an agile way for companies to embrace the connections they need at any time, from anywhere.
With cloud communications, businesses of all shapes and sizes can access the latest, most innovative technology, without having to worry about substantial initial investments or costly maintenance strategies. Of course, any successful migration to the cloud relies on one significant thing: the right partner.
If you want to accelerate your path to the cloud, then you’re going to need a provider that you can rely on, no matter how globally dispersed your workforce may be. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest contenders in the global cloud comms market today:
1. RingCentral
RingCentral is a leading provider of innovative cloud communication solutions. The company is currently based in Belmont California, with offices around the world.
Our judging panel last year crowned RingCentral as the winner of our “Best Cloud Communications Provider” title in the very first UC Today Awards. RingCentral earned the top spot because of its dedication to delivering innovative, consistently high-quality communication solutions to companies around the world. No matter where you need your cloud connections to go, RingCentral will ensure that every conversation you have is clear, insightful and easy to manage.
RingCentral cloud communication solutions come in the form of the “Global Office” system, intended to keep the worldwide workforce connected, no matter what.
2. Fuze
Fuze is another exceptional cloud communications provider, known for its state of the art “UC as a Service” platform. Fuze enables global cloud communications through an efficient all-in-one application that allows for single-pane-of-glass productivity.
The Fuze cloud platform provides a consistent, enterprise-grade environment in which people can stay connected through video, voice, messaging, and more, regardless of which device they’re using, or where they might be located. The Fuze UCaaS solution is specifically designed to increase efficiency by empowering the modern workforce, rather than simply forcing people to change the way they work. The platform also integrates with existing tools like Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and more.
3. 8×8
8×8 is a leader in the cloud communications and customer engagement markets, based in San Jose California. 8×8’s “Communications Cloud” is an intuitive solution that combines team collaboration tools with unified communications, contact centre services and real-time analytics for next-level productivity. 8×8 was a runner-up in our UC Today awards category for cloud communications.

With 8×8, companies can ensure that their applications, customers and employees are always linked, no matter how globally dispersed the enterprise might be.
4. Mitel
Mitel is a well-known and well-respected contender in any list of the best cloud communication providers. Mitel is currently the number one vendor in terms of market share for business cloud communications.

The MiCloud platform ensures resiliency and consistent performance in any business, with the same high-quality communications regardless of whether employees are in an office or travelling across the globe.
5. Masergy
Last but not least, Masergy is a fantastic cloud communications provider (and runner-up in our UC Today awards). Founded in 2000, and headquartered in Plano, Texas, Masergy evolved from a focus on SDN services, to deliver their own global Unified Communication as a Service (UCaaS) solution.

Masergy’s platform works just as well on a mobile device as a desktop, and it comes with the option to scale quickly for minimal cost.
