Frost & Sullivan surveyed over 300 contact center decision makers during March – April 2010. LiveVox (51 percent) received almost twice as many votes as its nearest competitor (27 percent) in the poll on the number-one brand among hosted outbound customer contact solutions.

"Among those who primarily use LiveVox's hosted outbound customer contact solution, 80 percent rated LiveVox as the best brand," explains Frost & Sullivan Senior Analyst Michael DeSalles. "With both the strongest overall brand reputation and high customer loyalty, LiveVox garnered the highest brand performance index score, and is thus recognized as the 'Best Brand of Hosted Outbound Customer Contact Solution.'"
