The Gartner 2016 Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service, North America provides an analysis of vendors in the market based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. The full report can be accessed at http://c3.inin.com/resources?a=276.

“As the vendor positioned furthest in the CCaaS Leader’s Quadrant for completeness of vision, we believe we offer customers not only a proven cloud solution, but one that can truly transform their customer engagement strategy for a serious competitive advantage,” said Dr. Donald Brown, Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO.

According to the report, Gartner’s description of a Leaders states: “Given that the CCaaS market in North America is still maturing, Leaders can best be described as those suppliers with a strong multichannel product and service capability that have already amassed a large installed base of both large and small customers. They also benefit from being able to support varying levels of deployment complexity, including multichannel deployments and integration to a variety of third-party systems.”
