  • Written by James Anderson
  • November 25, 2019
The master agent is chasing revenue across the pond.

Avant Communications said its partners are leading a UCaaS and SD-WAN “revolution” in Europe.

The Chicago-based master agent honored five partners for their performance across the pond. Avant President Drew Lydecker said UCaaS and SD-WAN have proven more disruptive in Europe than any other technology.

“We are thrilled to honor our partners who are spearheading that revolution both at home and abroad,” Lydecker said.
