“The Vonage API Platform is an integral aspect of the One Vonage communications platform, which has the powerful ability to facilitate a comprehensive suite of services to address the full breadth of enterprise communications requirements,” said Courtney Munroe, Group Vice President of Worldwide Telecommunications Research, IDC. “Vonage is unique in its ability to offer a scalable platform for developers and enterprises that integrates Vonage’s CPaaS, UCaaS, and CCaaS solutions — all on a single stack.”

The IDC MarketScape also noted that through the Vonage API Platform, Vonage has a full suite of API services and has expanded its enterprise support solutions and offers an ecosystem of ISV, SI and SaaS partners.

The report also highlighted several of Vonage’s differentiating products and services that make it a natural choice as a Leader within this space:

“The programmable capabilities we offer enterprise customers via our API Platform is a key differentiator for us,” said Jay Patel, Chief Product Officer for Vonage. “With One Vonage – our powerful combination of enterprise applications and programmable capabilities – we are the only provider with the singular ability to offer these solutions from a single, flexible stack. We are thrilled to be named as a Leader in the debut IDC MarketScape for CPaaS, an area where we are truly leading the market.”

In the IDC MarketScape report, IDC identified the leading cloud communications providers that vary in scale and scope but have been innovators over the years and have helped establish this segment. The IDC MarketScape also considered the diversity of portfolios, the size and growth of revenues, and the ability to provide a platform for developers, ISVs, and corporations (MNCs). The primary focus of this study is the ability of the platforms to facilitate the rapid development of real-time communications services that are easy to create and scalable. These platforms facilitate programmable, application programing interface-(API-) based voice and messaging to enable the creation of personalized and cost-effective agile enterprise cloud applications.
