Through our software product development, we help more than 70 million business end users, including close to four million cloud communications end users around the world, to seamlessly connect, collaborate and provide innovative solutions to their customers. Our strategy is built on the principle of putting customers first. We do that by providing a seamless technology path that will enable businesses to communicate, collaborate and participate in the digital transformation that is reshaping business models and competition globally. Since 2011, we have fundamentally reoriented our company from an on-site/ premise-based unified communications and telephony business to become a diverse global market leader with established positions in the cloud and on-site markets. As a result of both our organic in-house development and our merger and acquisition activity, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to offer business customers a comprehensive portfolio of complementary and interoperable communications and collaborations solutions. Our software enables customers to upgrade their communications environments at their own pace, whether in a cloud or on-site environment. Our solutions generally interoperate with various systems supplied by other vendors, including such global market leaders as VMware, Microsoft, Salesforce.com and Google. This interoperability allows our customers to utilize their existing communications infrastructure and gives them the flexibility to choose the solutions that best address their individual business needs. We have also designed our software and end-user devices to allow access to our solutions from mobile devices. Our mobile applications are compatible and available for use on some of the world’s leading mobile devices, including those from Apple and Samsung. With our cloud-based communications services, we offer a full range of private, public, hybrid and mobile Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for businesses of all sizes. This includes Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) solutions, which enable businesses to consume and pay for their communications services on a monthly subscription basis. We also offer cloud-based telephone and network services in the United States. Our broad range of on-site unified communications and collaboration (UCC) solutions address and support the full spectrum of technology specifications – from digital to IP to cloud to mobile, and from platforms to applications to end-user devices. Our enterprise solutions include the latest virtualization capabilities and desktop and mobile applications to enable businesses of all sizes to take advantage of the most advanced technology developments while maximizing their current communications investments.
