In addition, with a score of 9.9 out of 10, the company was ranked the highest among competitors in Frost & Sullivan’s Decision Support Scorecard, which evaluates companies based on customer impact, visionary innovation, and performance. “Our research is designed to identify the true industry leaders in the North American unified communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) market that deliver best practices in growth and innovation and optimize for the best customer experience,” said Elka Popova, program director at Frost & Sullivan. “RingCentral has consistently been a leading player in the UCaaS industry and has yet again surpassed its competitors, with a strong focus on technology innovation, upmarket and international expansion, channel enablement, technology partnerships, and user experience. RingCentral continues to exceed industry-average annual revenue growth rates, with its double-digit growth, and delivers high price/performance value, while maintaining its focus on greater customer satisfaction and loyalty.
