The company's WorldSmart service has been designed to offer unified communications, storage and mobility services.

Gartner analysts, Daniel O'Connell and Bern Elliot wrote in the Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications (News - Alert) –as- a -Service, North America report , "Gartner analysts evaluate UCaaS service providers based on the breadth, quality and overall maturity of their applications, processes, tools and procedures that enhance individual, group and enterprise communications. Ultimately, UCaaS providers are judged on their ability and success in capitalizing on their vision."
