The demand for All-IP solutions throughout Europe – particularly among SMBs – is a key factor in NFON’s success: “NFON stands out among European-hosted IP telephony and UCaaS providers with its ability to continually grow at above-industry growth rates,” said Frost & Sullivan Vice President Elka Popova. “After NFON’s initial focus on small- and medium-size businesses (SMBs) the innovative provider is also striving to harness increasing demand for cloud communications solutions among larger organisations and is experiencing accelerated growth through greater average deployment size.” In the first quarter of 2017 NFON and T-Systems announced their partnership with the joint product ‚Dynamic Services for Unified Communications NFON Enterprise’ as well as the recent introduction of a fourth distribution channel – Wholesale –and winning PIRONET, a CANCOM SE company, as first partner.
