Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) July 24, 2015 -- Star2Star Debuts as a Top 10 Provider for User Based Market Share In Frost & Sullivan North American Hosted Telephony & UCC Services Market Report

Star2Star Communications, developers of “The World’s Most Scalable Cloud Communications Solution,” today announced that the company was named a “Top 10 UCC Provider by Market Share” in a recent report from Frost & Sullivan.

The July 2015 report, titled “Analysis of the North American Hosted IP Telephony and UCC Services Market”, places Star2Star in the top 10 of all UCC service providers. This ranking puts Star2Star on par with or ahead of several very large competitors, including some of the largest Cable Operators and Telcom Providers in the U.S. in market share for the hosted telephony space.

“As we enter our tenth year in business, it is gratifying to see our progress against companies many times our size”, said Norman Worthington, CEO of Star2Star. “We knew from the outset that we had better technology and a better business model, and this report is validation of both”, he continued.

In addition to the market share rankings, the report also provides an interesting look into trends in the UC market place. Among these trends:

  • The majority of IP telephony providers now allow their customers to rent or lease phones, moving from a CAPEX to an all-OPEX business model.
  • Most business customers still prefer desktop phones for the majority of their users, due to the high reliability and familiar operation of desktop phones.
  • Hybrid architecture solutions (which combine cloud telephony with a reliable, premise-based edge device) are gaining popularity with buyers, and this trend is likely to continue. Star2Star is one of the most successful providers to utilize a hybrid, or blended, architecture.
  • Star2Star’s StarBox Cloud Communications Manager allows local call routing (for reduced bandwidth demands) and higher survivability in the event of an Internet or power outage.
  • Hybrid designs can provide greater cost effectiveness, thanks to more efficient bandwidth utilization.
  • Star2Star is the only vendor to provide a full suite of telecom services, including dial tone and DIDs.
