Intermedia Cloud Communications was named the Best Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) Solution Provider at the recent fifth-annual UC Awards celebration. Hailed as the "UC technology industry's highest honor," the UC Awards are presented by UC Today, an international news organization honoring excellence across the unified communications and collaboration technology space.

Intermedia helps its more than 130,000 business customers connect better from wherever their employees may be working — in the office one day, at home the next, on the road or anywhere in between. Its cloud communications and collaboration portfolio includes voice, video conferencing, chat, contact center, business email and productivity, file sharing and backup, security, archiving, and more — all delivered through one tightly integrated, highly reliable and secure platform. With month-to-month contract options, one monthly bill, one intuitive point of administrative control and six-years-running J.D. Power-certified 24/7 technical support, Intermedia is committed to providing enterprise-grade products to businesses of all sizes through a simple, worry-free experience.

And as a partner-first company, Intermedia goes to work for more than 7,200 channel partners by providing a comprehensive set of programs, resources and support to help them grow their revenue and maximize their success. Programs include the Customer Ownership Reseller (CORE) model – which enables partners to resell, package and manage Intermedia's solutions as if they were their own while benefiting from highly attractive economic terms and maintaining ownership of their customer relationships – as well as agent models.

As the world continues its transition to hybrid work, Intermedia continues its commitment to product innovation, particularly by offering the solutions that help businesses keep their employees connected and productive, while at the same time delivering more informed and responsive customer care from wherever they may be working. And, again, all delivered on one single platform.

It is this commitment to creating a more connected world, better employee collaboration and customer experiences, coupled with world-class support and revolutionary partner-first programs, that continues to drive accolades for Intermedia.

"Intermedia has set the standard for UCaaS providers, with uniquely powerful products and services that both businesses and the channel community that serves them can greatly benefit," said Rob Scott, publisher, UC Today, and host, UC Awards 2022. "We had a record number of award submissions this year, so to receive this honor is a fantastic achievement for Intermedia and very well deserved."

Judging this year was led by a panel of esteemed industry experts including Irwin Lazar, president and principal analyst, Metrigy Research; Blair Pleasant, president and principal analyst, COMMfusion LLC, and co-founder, BCStrategies; Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst, ZK Research; Tim Banting, practice leader and senior principal analyst, Omdia; Kevin Kieller, co-founder, EnableUC; Melissa Swartz, founder, Swartz Counsulting LLC; Jon Arnold, principal, J Arnold & Associates; and Dave Michels, principal analyst and founder, Talking Pointz.

"To be recognized by the premier organization and analysts covering the unified communications and collaboration space is just tremendous validation of the efforts of our entire company," said Michael Gold, CEO, Intermedia. "I'm honored to be working alongside the team at Intermedia and our growing network of valued channel partners, and we will continue to work together to make it easier for businesses to work better no matter where their employees are located."
