When contact centre executives and IT leaders start vetting cloud contact centre solutions, it’s only a matter of minutes before someone asks where we are placed on the Gartner Magic Quadrant. And, that’s no surprise to anyone in the industry.

The recently issued Gartner 2019 Magic Quadrant for Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) is a well-known and respected industry source. A vendor’s placement on the quadrant often pinpoints the solutions that an organization will assess when looking to improve their customer experience quality.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant report evaluates nine vendors on two dimensions: completeness of vision and ability to execute. Each vendor, based on the results, is placed within one of the four quadrants that classify vendors as visionaries, niche players, challengers or leaders.

We are proud to share that Five9 is named a Leader in the Garter magic quadrant for the fifth consecutive year.

So, what is the importance of the Gartner Magic Quadrant CCaaS report and why does it matter where a vendor is placed? The Gartner report is a valuable tool in helping contact centre and IT decision makers make the right choice by efficiently reporting on vendors’ vision for the market, today’s technology and business needs, market trends and industry direction, and provides an objective view of competing vendors.

For prospective buyers of contact centre solutions, you want to invest in intelligent cloud contact centre platforms with proven track records that show a commitment to innovating, delivering and exceeding customer expectations.

Why does this deserve a major Five9 high five?

Five9 is delighted to once again be named a Leader in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CCaaS, North America. This recognition compliments our other 2019 achievements. Below we are highlighting a few:
