"Software applications, especially unified communications (UC) solutions, need to adapt to the modern user, matching both their preferences in technology and digital, mobile lifestyle," said Stephen Farkouh, Broadview's executive vice president, in a statement. "We saw an opportunity to enrich the Skype for Business experience with an award-winning hosted phone system that has clearly become the people's choice."
