December Partner Newsletter: The Most Secure Digital Phone Ever, Our Customers’ Digital Transformations
2023: Powered by AI, MetTel Grows in All Directions
As we come to the end of what has been a very eventful year in the IT industry, it is time for our annual recap highlighting another banner year for MetTel – one clearly powered by advances in artificial intelligence and MetTel’s industry-leading AP applications!
For the fourth consecutive year, MetTel was recognized as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed Network Services in which MetTel’s Intelligent Process Automation was highlighted as best-in-class. In addition, MetTel AI was cited for AI Networking in two Gartner Hype Cycle Reports – Enterprise Networking and IT Management Intelligence. MetTel also received two gold Stevie Awards for our dedication to customer service, including our AI Engine for Customer Service. In fact, MetTel CEO Marshall Aronow was highlighted in The Wall Street Journal describing MetTel’s AI initiatives.
With the sunsetting of carrier support for copper POTS lines, we continue to see growing traction with our MetTel POTS Transformation solution. At Extra Space Storage, one of our largest engagements, we deployed our POTS Transformation solution at more than 2,327 locations in 41 states. Another key milestone: wesecured approval from FDNY, validating POTS Transformation as an accredited replacement to traditional copper wire.
CTO Ed Fox’s piece in CIO described how MetTel’s SD-WAN, the first to successfully deploy over Starlink, was setting the stage for the adoption of space-based communications. Perhaps a hint of things to come in 2024!
