HOLMDEL, N.J., Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage, a global leader in cloud communications helping businesses accelerate their digital transformation and a part of Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), has been recognized by Sandler Partners for its Vonage Business Communications (VBC) unified communications solution with the '2023 Top Collaboration/UCaaS' Provider Award.

VBC leverages unified communications and communications APIs, empowering users to be more productive than ever before.
