Evolve IP Recognized in 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Contact Center as a Service for the Fifth Time

World-Class Omnichannel Contact Center Integrates Seamlessly with Microsoft Teams and Digital Workspaces to Improve Agent Productivity and Support Remote Working

Evolve IP, a leading international service provider of Work Anywhere™ solutions, today announced that it has been named in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS). This recognition marks Evolve IP’s fifth consecutive recognition in the Magic Quadrant, which evaluates leading CCaaS technology providers and their ability to deliver on end-user needs.

Evolve IP’s unified omnichannel contact center solution delivers all of the award-winning features that businesses need to improve agent productivity, support remote working, and enhance customer experience. It offers higher value than comparable solutions and also has one of the highest user ratings, 4.8 out of 5 stars, and a 92% client recommendation rate on Gartner Peer Insights.

“We are thrilled to be included in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service for the fifth consecutive time. We have a distinct market differentiation compared to pure-play contact center providers. Not only are we priced lower than comparable solutions but are one of the only technology providers that provides integrations with Cisco UCaaS, Microsoft Teams and Managed DaaS offering”, said Evolve IP’s Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, Scott Kinka.

“The pandemic forced contact centers to spin up patchwork, work-from-home solutions, or dramatically alter their physical contact center footprint. Now, with businesses evaluating a long-term strategic change towards remote and hybrid working, IT and contact center leaders are looking at better ways to connect agents to the contact center solution and critical applications they need to do their jobs. No one besides us puts all of this in a single solution, allowing employees to work anywhere, productively and securely,” said Evolve IP’s Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, Scott Kinka.

  • Omnichannel with voice, chat, text, email, callback, and more

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
