The expansion brings much-needed competition to the market and new technology solutions to enterprise businesses across a variety of industries, including oil and gas, education, agriculture, retail, medical and financial. Organizations with multiple locations will benefit from end-to-end, unified solutions that seamlessly tie branches together, including Windstream's award-winning UCaaS, which was named 2015 UC Product of the Year by TMC.
