Landmark Year in Revenue Growth, New Business and Customer Service Excellence


SINGAPORE--(Marketwired - Jun 29, 2014) -  Arkadin, an NTT Communications company, and one of the largest and fastest growing providers of Collaboration and Unified Communications services in the world, announced today that it is the recipient of the 2014 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Collaboration Service Provider of the Year award. Recognizing outstanding performance by companies in the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) industry, Arkadin was chosen for making major breakthroughs in new business for driving further expansion, customer service excellence and revenue growth from its services spanning audio, web and video conferencing and Unified Communications technologies.

In announcing the award, Jessie Yu, Industry Manager - Unified Communications and Collaboration, Asia Pacific ICT Practice, commented: "Arkadin had a landmark year in 2013. It continued to leave its competitors in the dust last year by maintaining its exponential revenue growth and enhancing customer experience in the Asia Pacific region. More importantly, it made major breakthroughs in customer wins of major local accounts in countries such as India, Japan and China, establishing a valuable bridgehead from which to expand further."

"Notably, Arkadin was acquired by NTT Communications earlier this year, which is a significant milestone for Arkadin to further accelerate the growth in the collaboration services market and continue its portfolio expansion in the UC-as-a-Service (UCaaS) market," continued Ms. Yu.

"We are deeply honored to have this recognition, especially as it is the 2nd consecutive year we've been awarded Service Provider of the Year by Frost & Sullivan in APAC," says Serge Genetet, Arkadin Managing Director, Asia Pacific.
