Vonage Receives 2016 Global M&A Network, Americas Deal of the Year Award |
|
 Dec 15, 2016
HOLMDEL, N.J., Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage (NYSE: VG), a leading provider of cloud communications solutions for businesses, has received the 2016 Global M&A Network's, Americas M&A Deal of the Year Award in the Middle Market category. The Company was recognized for its acquisition of the world's second largest Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider, Nexmo. The acquisition of Nexmo accelerates Vonage's growth strategy, strengthens its leadership position in cloud communications and underscores the Company's vision for the future of business communications.
"Nexmo was an impactful deal because it moved Vonage to the leading edge of cloud communications while also fortifying our strong Unified Communications as-a-Service (UCaaS) solutions. With Nexmo, Vonage offers a leading application program interface (API) platform that enables developers to program various communications, like voice, chat and SMS, into their apps, websites and solutions—which is key as businesses become increasingly app and web based," said Vinod Lala, Chief Strategy Officer for Vonage. "At the same time, Nexmo can expose our UCaaS solutions via APIs to our SMB and enterprise customers, which enables them to better integrate UCaaS with their workflow applications, such as CRM or other productivity tools."
Businesses require highly reliable communications solutions that integrate fully with their mobile world, as well as their CRM and business workflow tools. They also require the ability to create powerful communications offerings that enable employees to work anytime, anywhere and on any device.
Nexmo provides Vonage with communication APIs that allow developers and enterprises to embed contextual communications into mobile apps, websites and business workflows via text, social media, chat apps and voice, creating more meaningful connections with customers. With this complete cloud offering, Vonage is focused on driving the future of cloud communications by offering end-to-end business communications for a better customer experience.
Mr. Lala continued, "We greatly appreciate being recognized by Global M&A Network for the Nexmo acquisition. It is among a series of deals we have completed over the last three years to build and solidify our leadership in cloud communications."
"Vonage's acquisition of Nexmo, a premier communications platform company, clearly builds on Vonage's already deep portfolio of cloud communications solutions. Significantly, the acquisition demonstrates Vonage's ability to create financial value for its stakeholders by successfully calibrating and executing its M&A strategy for growth," Shanta Kumari, CEO and Group Global Editor at Global M&A Network.
The independent Americas M&A Atlas Awards exclusively honor excellence in the categories of best value-creating deals, top teams, outstanding firms and exceptional leaders from the North and South Americas corporate, private equity and transactional industries. Winning the award validates success in executing corporate development strategies, financial and value creation, management team and brand leadership position in the local, regional or global markets.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as lead financial advisor to Vonage in the Nexmo acquisition.

Vonage Granted First New Patent for Nexmo API Platform |
|
|
Dec 13, 2016
HOLMDEL, N.J., Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage (NYSE: VG), a leading provider of Cloud Communications for Business, was recently granted its first patent for Nexmo since acquiring the company in June 2016. Vonage now owns 146 U.S. patents, with nearly 200 U.S. patent applications pending, along with many foreign patents and pending applications in jurisdictions worldwide.
Nexmo, the Vonage API platform, enables developers to embed programmable text, chat and voice communications contextually into apps, websites and business systems to help enterprises create deeper engagement with customers.
The newly-issued patent (U.S. Pat. No. 9,485,169) covers Vonage's proprietary Adaptive Routing™ solution, providing users with improved deliverability, latency, and stability when using Nexmo contextual communications services to send and receive text messages.
Adaptive Routing and a unique direct-to-carrier network of more than 1,000 carriers enable the Nexmo platform to continuously monitor multiple available routes for delivering text messages, and to select the best route among multiple options based on real-time, relative performance data of each route. The Nexmo platform processes more than 60 million data points per month based not only on traditional carrier-provided delivery receipts, but also on delivery confirmations provided by actual end users, leading to a more robust understanding of end-to-end performance and, ultimately, optimization of SMS delivery.
"For enterprise customers that rely on the immediacy of contextual communications to seamlessly connect with users, Vonage's Adaptive Routing solution provides higher quality communications than is available without this technology," said Tony Jamous, President of Nexmo, the Vonage API Platform. "Vonage has access to multiple carriers and networks over which to deliver contextual communications solutions. This provides us with a unique advantage for Vonage's Adaptive Routing algorithms to redirect traffic via the optimal route, finding the best path for text messaging based on the automated and real-time collection of route performance data. It's like GPS for SMS."
ZALORA, Asia's leading online fashion retail destination, partnered with Nexmo as it needed a reliable global SMS solution that would deliver SMS with speed and accuracy to enhance the customer shopping experience. In many countries where ZALORA does business, SMS is often the only way to connect to customers in real time. ZALORA uses SMS to provide customers with reliable transaction, order and delivery updates, as well as to implement effective marketing campaigns to drive new business.
"Because the deliverability is so high with Nexmo's SMS API solution, ZALORA has seen a significant uplift, both in terms of increased revenue and traffic to our website. SMS is no longer a 'nice to have,' it's an expectation from our customers. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible in customer communications with Nexmo," said Alicia Teo, Customer Experience Manager for ZALORA.
Johanan Choo, Senior CRM System Analyst for ZALORA, added, "SMS provides great value as it informs our customers in a very timely manner about deals. Having one touchpoint for our centralized marketing outreach is very efficient. Nexmo's SMS API provides better visibility into our marketing spend, which helps our marketing team create more strategic, cost-conscious marketing decisions."

Vonage Launches Next-Generation Nexmo Voice API to Capitalize on Surging Cloud Communications Platform Market |
|
|
Sep 14, 2016
HOLMDEL, N.J., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage (NYSE: VG) ("the Company'), a leading provider of cloud communications for business, has launched a next-generation voice API through recently-acquired communications platform, Nexmo. Integrated with Vonage's carrier-grade network, which terminates 15 billion minutes of global voice traffic annually to landline and mobile phones, the new Nexmo API provides a higher quality programmable voice experience than what is competitively available in the market today.
The Nexmo Voice API enables developers to build modern enterprise communications customized for any app, website or voice-based communications system, faster and easier than its previous APIs. The Nexmo Voice API also enables integrations with existing business workflow software to drive enhanced productivity. This next-gen voice API allows companies to create communications solutions that can increase customer engagement and enhance the customer experience with just a few lines of code.
"When Vonage purchased Nexmo only a few months ago, we knew we could pair Nexmo's APIs with Vonage's voice network to deliver a higher quality programmable voice experience to the market," said Alan Masarek, Vonage CEO. "We are encouraged by the speed with which we were able to bring enhanced voice capabilities to the Nexmo platform to accelerate the launch of the new voice API."
Mr. Masarek continued, "This launch represents a tangible example of the power of the combination of Vonage and Nexmo, and the unmatched value proposition that we envisioned. With the new voice API, Nexmo adds to its strength in global messaging and pioneering work with chat apps, creating a formidable and complete set of APIs that further solidify Vonage's leadership in the two most dominant forms of communication today, voice and messaging."
Based on flexible and open standards, the new Nexmo Voice API allows developers to easily add capabilities like conferencing, call recording and call control to a company's workflow, backed by the quality, strength and reliability of the Vonage network. The new API is also perfectly positioned to integrate emerging technology software like bots, artificial intelligence and deep data analysis into new and existing voice solutions.
Nexmo also has the largest global reach of any communications platform with the ability to provision local numbers to 85 countries, enabling companies to quickly scale their voice communications to meet global expansion needs. The new voice API joins Nexmo's industry-leading global SMS API, innovative Chat App API and critical ID Verification API to create a powerful, easy-to-use suite of communications tools that are revolutionizing the way developers build communications software into applications that are transforming how companies connect with their customers.
"Building enterprise-grade voice applications used to be a complex and expensive task. But the new voice API will allow developers to effortlessly create modern voice capabilities with open, agile and globally scalable architectures, enabling customized communications solutions to enrich customer conversations and deepen customer relationships," said Tony Jamous, president of the Nexmo API Platform. "We are excited to have Vonage's industrial-strength network and second-to-none voice capabilities behind the new API, and the speed with which Vonage was able to help accelerate this launch surpassed our expectations."
The Nexmo Voice API will launch with a collection of new features and will be expanded over time. Notable launch features include:
