The cloud communications landscape is rapidly evolving, and Crexendo is at the center of this migration wave.

PHOENIX, AZ - November 12, 2024 - Crexendo®, Inc. (NASDAQ:CXDO), an award-winning software technology company that is a premier provider of cloud communication platform software and unified communication as service (UCaaS) offerings, including voice, video, contact center, and managed IT services tailored to businesses of all sizes, today announced that Akabis has selected Crexendo’s NetSapiens Platform as its next-generation solution to replace their Microsoft Metaswitch platform following Microsoft’s recent end-of-life (EOL) announcement for its Max-UC solution.

In this time of disruption, many service providers are actively seeking trusted partners to support their migration from Metaswitch MaX UC. The industry has identified Crexendo as the premier next-generation partner, recognized for its proven track record in executing seamless migrations that rapidly empower businesses to thrive.

“With the consolidation of manufacturers and Microsoft’s EOL announcement, many service providers, including Akabis, faced the critical challenge of finding a superior alternative,” said Michael Costello, CEO, Akabis. “After a comprehensive review of available solutions, Akabis selected Crexendo’s NetSapiens platform, a recognized leader in growth and innovation, as the ideal fit. Our primary objective was to find an open, application-rich platform, and Crexendo not only met this requirement but also aligned seamlessly with our mission to provide distinctive branding capabilities for Akabis. This partnership enables us to break free from the disruptive UCaaS landscape and deliver a stable, customized communication experience for our partners.”

“We are excited to partner with Akabis during this critical transition,” said Jeff Korn, CEO & Chairman of Crexendo. “Our NetSapiens Platform has quickly emerged as the top choice for service providers migrating from Metaswitch MaX UC, evidenced by Crexendo adding over 100,000 users each month. This remarkable growth is a testament to our focus on integrating AI at the core of our platform, enabling service providers to deliver exceptional cloud communications solutions to their clients. Together, we are set to redefine what is possible in telecommunications. As the third largest telecom software platform provider with the best technology and service in the industry we should be in a position to continue to add more and larger logos. The strength of our platform, people and our community are an unbeatable combination”
