SÃO PAULO, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the hosted IP telephony and unified-communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cable & Wireless Business (C&W Business) with the 2020 Latin American and Caribbean Hosted IP Telephony and UCaaS Growth Excellence Frost Radar Award.  A part of Liberty Latin America, C&W Business is the enterprise arm of C&W Communications, one of the largest communications service providers in Central America and the Caribbean (CaCar). During the last few years, C&W Business has been continually enhancing its UCaaS portfolio and adapting it to address clients' emerging needs.

"C&W Business has been offering UCaaS since 2015, leveraging multiple platforms such as Cisco BroadSoft, Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solutions and Metaswitch to cater to several segments," said Sebastian Menutti, Frost & Sullivan industry principal. "On the strength of its offerings, it emerged as the fastest-growing Service Provider in the Caribbean and Latin America region in terms of UCaaS revenue and users in 2019. With a long history of telecommunications service in many countries in CaCar, C&W Business enjoys strong brand recognition across the region, especially in Panama, Jamaica, and Trinidad."

"C&W Business is grateful for this industry recognition as we strive to simplify our customers' transition to end-to-end, Cloud-delivered UCaaS services as part of their digital transformation journey. The health contingency has validated our vision to help our customers accelerate the adoption of Real-Time Communications services to the Cloud while securing Business continuity and enabling remote collaboration," says Chris Coles, VP, Chief Commercial Officer of Business Markets.   

C&W Business has a solid footprint within the hospitality, financial services, retail, professional services, and government verticals. Its custom solutions for the hospitality industry provide a competitive edge in the enterprise market. As it owns and manages the network end to end, it has full visibility and control over service delivery, presents service-level agreements with up to 99.999 percent availability, and guarantees a high standard of user experience.

C&W Business has a solid track record of delivering innovative solutions to Small & Medium Businesses, large organizations and government agencies.

It is also moving forward with technology consolidation to provide a seamless experience to UCaaS users, regardless of their actual location.

"C&W Business has added advanced video collaboration capabilities to our solution suite to accelerate the migration of our customers to more advanced services," noted Menutti. "In the near future, C&W Business will continue to build its software-defined networking in a wide area network (SD-WAN) capability to ease secured access and lower costs for its UCaaS users."
