Broadview Networks Wins 2012 Cloud Award

Broadview Networks, a leading provider of hosted voice, data and cloud computing solutions, announced today that it has won the B2B Customer Strategy Award in the inaugural 2012 Cloud Awards.

Broadview has been in the forefront of adopting cloud-based services to improve its clients' operations, and as a leader in the cloud-based IP phone solutions market, has extended their expertise to cloud computing. Their suite of cloud computing services offers fully-managed enterprise-grade hosted business applications and infrastructure tailored to make it easy-to-use for the small- and medium-sized business.

The growing possibility for Software as a Service)

Broadview's cloud-based services target the growing possibility for Software as a Service), Infrastructure as a Service and Desktop as a Service. Their cloud computing solutions allow companies to move software, applications, storage and server hardware that support critical business operations off-site, which can improve the availability and security of their data and applications during reducing their total cost of ownership. Just in case, clients can focus their efforts on their own mission-critical business needs instead of dealing with software and hardware upgrades, support and maintenance.

Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson said "Almot 200 organizations entered the program, which is among the first of its kind. We were swamped by entries, and the standard was remarkably high. Judging the submissions was a challenging task. Nevertheless, we're happy to endorse Broadview Networks as among the best of the best in their field. My prediction for 2012 is that people will stop seeing the cloud as exotic or optional and start integrating cloud technologies at every level in their operational infrastructure."

"Broadview is thrilled to be named a leader in cloud computing," said Jeff Blackey, senior vice president of marketing for Broadview Networks. "During businesses across the country struggle with understanding and implementing cloud solutions, we strive to make that experience more consultative and complete. Broadview has a long and proven track record of helping companies improve employee productivity, customer satisfaction and financial performance."
