The Cloud Communications Alliance is an industry peer association dedicated to fostering the growth of cloud communications.  We do so by bringing together leading cloud communications providers to promote awareness, adoption and understanding of cloud communications services and their benefits.   We are comprised of industry leading hosted communications companies and supported by sponsors that provide products and services for the cloud communications industry.
