Thinking Phone Networks Positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant of Leading Analyst Firm’s Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service Report

Placement Based on Company’s Completeness of Enterprise Unified Communications Vision and Ability to Execute

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 22, 2010 – Enterprise cloud communications service provider Thinking Phone Networks today announced that leading industry analyst firm Gartner, Inc. has positioned the Company in the “Visionaries” quadrant of its highly regarded 2010 “Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, North America” report.

“We consider our position in the ‘Visionaries’ quadrant by Gartner confirmation of the value our cloud-based unified communications service portfolio brings to enterprises looking to significantly improve business processes, enhance collaboration, and be more responsive to customers,” said Steve Kokinos, Thinking Phone Networks president & CEO. “Our analytics-driven platform communications-enables business processes and gives management unprecedented visibility into all areas of an organization, streamlining these processes and lowering costs.”

In the 2010 “Magic Quadrant for UCaaS” report published December 20, 2010, Gartner analysts Daniel O’Connell and Bern Elliott state, “Unified Communications (UC) offer businesses the ability to significantly improve how individuals, groups, and companies interact and perform. Businesses should view UCaaS as an emerging alternative to premises-based UC platforms for improving productivity, processes and workflow.”

The “Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, North America” report analyzes UCaaS providers on their ability to execute and completeness of vision in such areas as innovation, products, services, and marketing strategy. Gartner reviewed Thinking Phone Networks’ ThinkingSuite, a unified communications ecosystem which integrates communications with business applications and allows enterprises to redefine business processes and workflows for organizational efficiency and competitive advantage. The ThinkingSuite platform combines a powerful business analytics engine for process and workflow visibility, third-party application integration to merge previously standalone systems, and best-in-class unified communications applications including voice, video, mobile, presence, messaging, and collaboration.
