DALLAS-- October 15, 2018-- Masergy, a leading provider of  secure hybrid networking,  cloud communications and  managed security solutions, has once again been recognized for its  Global UCaaS offering in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide. According to Gartner ¹: “By 2021, 90% of IT leaders will not purchase new premises-based UC infrastructure—up from 50% today—because future cloud UC offerings will be far ahead in terms of features, functions, portals, analytics and dashboards.” After being evaluated on criteria designed to analyze its current solution, Masergy was among 15 companies placed on the Magic Quadrant. In this year’s evaluation, Masergy moved up on the Ability to Execute axis within the “Niche Players” quadrant. "We are proud to be in the Niche Players quadrant,” said Terry Traina, senior vice president of engineering, Masergy. “Global enterprises rely on Masergy for the agility and customization they can’t find elsewhere.
