Vonage completes acquisition of NewVoiceMedia

Vonage completed the acquisition of privately-held NewVoiceMedia, an industry-leading cloud Contact Centre-as-a-Service (CCaaS) provider, for an equity price of $350 million in cash.

NewVoiceMedia was the largest privately-owned, pure-play, cloud contact centre company globally. NewVoiceMedia is in the Leader’s quadrant of the Gartner CCaaS Magic Quadrant for Western Europe for the second year in a row; was recently named a strong performer in the Forrester Wave for Cloud Contact Centers; and was included for the third consecutive year on the Forbes Magazine Cloud 100, a list of the top 100 private cloud companies in revenue, sales growth, valuation and culture.

More than 700 primarily mid-market and enterprise customers rely on NewVoiceMedia for a range of customer engagement use cases, from inbound customer support to outbound sales, including worldwide brands like Adobe, Siemens, Time Inc., FundingCircle and Rapid7.

Vonage CEO Alan Masarek said, “These results underscore the tremendous progress that we are making with the development of our OneVonage technology platform, and in sales and marketing execution within the mid-market and enterprise segments.”

The acquisition combines Vonage’s robust UCaaS and CPaaS solutions with NewVoiceMedia’s pure-play cloud contact centre offerings to provide an end-to-end communication experience for a company’s employees and customers. The addition of NewVoiceMedia advances Vonage’s strategy to provide a fully integrated cloud communications platform.

“The need for an integrated communications experience is critical as businesses undergo digital transformation. Specifically, deep integration between business applications and enterprise communications tools is necessary to improve customer experience and deliver Better Business Outcomes,” said Mr. Masarek.

“With NewVoiceMedia, Vonage is now the only cloud communications company to combine deep CRM integrations with the full range of programmable communications used by a business’s employees and customers.”
