The hybrid approach allows companies to maintain the cost benefits of a fixed infrastructure and only use the cloud when needed for peak call volumes, delivering the cost effectiveness of a premise solution with the bursting capabilities and support of the cloud."Hybrid deployments have been steadily increasing in popularity as hosting is increasingly viewed as a secure, reliable option. More enterprises are considering the cloud and true hybrid deployments for an affordable, low-risk path for adopting additional customer interaction channels in the contact center," said John Amein, Vice President of Product Management at Aspect. "We are honored to receive the best hybrid cloud award from the Cloud Awards Program. The award is further recognition that we are fulfilling our mission of making it easy for enterprises to engage with their customers."Aspect is changing the contact center-in-the-cloud landscape significantly with the recent announcement of Zipwire, a true cloud contact center solution built on the Voxeo platform that delivers superior functionality with a no-risk, self-service provisioning. Unlike many smaller cloud solutions built on regular on-premise platforms and hosted in the cloud, Aspect's scalability and true on-demand capabilities offer deployment flexibility without sacrificing performance.For more information about the Could Awards visit: http://www.cloud-awards.com/.About the Cloud AwardsThe Cloud Awards is an international program which has been recognizing and honoring industry leaders, innovators and organizational transformation in cloud computing since 2011.
