Nextiva Recognized as a Customers’ Choice in 2 Categories in 2023 Gartner® Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Unified Communications as a Service

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - June 28, 2023 - Nextiva, the leading conversation platform, today announced it has been recognized as a Strong Performer in the 2023 Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer” report for Unified Communications as a Service. Along with being recognized as a Strong Performer in the report, Nextiva was also recognized in two categories, as a Customers’ Choice in the Midsize Enterprise Category and North America Category. The “Voice of the Customer” is a document that applies a methodology to aggregated Gartner Peer Insights’ reviews in a market to provide an overall perspective for IT decision makers. This aggregated peer perspective, along with the individual detailed reviews, is complementary to expert-generated research such as Magic Quadrants and Market Guides. It can play a key role in your buying process, as it focuses on direct peer experiences of buying, implementing, and operating a solution. The full methodology is available  here. Gartner  defines unified communications as a service (UCaaS) as a cloud-delivered service that provides the following core capabilities: Telephony, meetings, messaging, software apps, APIs, and adjacent services. “Nextiva believes every business should have access to the technology that gives the largest corporations in the world an advantage,” said Tracy Conrad, Co-founder and Chief Amazing Officer, Nextiva. “We’re on a mission to level the playing field, and arm the underdogs with tools that help them provide amazing experiences for their teams and customers. To us, Customers’ Choice recognition is particularly special since it’s based on our customers’ happiness and feedback. We see it as another signal that we’re headed in the right direction.” Nextiva, a trailblazer in the connected communications category, powers billions of conversations every year across its cloud business phone systems, text and team messaging, video meetings, and more – all from one powerful and intuitive platform. With its  recent acquisition of AI customer experience platform Simplify360, Nextiva says it is accelerating its roadmap and working to integrate social media, reputation management, live chat, and helpdesk CRM into its platform in the coming months. Here are some of the things Nextiva customers shared with Gartner: “Nextiva is the future of communications” Personally, I’m sure this tool helps me with client interactions daily since I work directly with appointments coordination between several parties. This is a really effective communication tool indeed.
