MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermedia, a leading cloud communications and collaboration provider to SMBs and the partners that serve them, announced today that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Intermedia to its 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Companies of 2019 list. This annual list recognizes Intermedia as one of the most advanced cloud technology suppliers in the Software category.

The 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Companies are selected by the CRN editorial team for their creativity and innovation in product development, the quality of their services and partner programs, and their demonstrated ability to help customers benefit from the ease of use, flexibility, scalability and budgetary savings that cloud computing offers. In addition to recognizing cloud technology suppliers for outstanding products and services, the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Companies list is the ultimate guide for solution providers to find key players driving all facets of cloud technology.

"Being recognized once again by CRN is further validation that the products we develop to help SMBs be more efficient, productive, and collaborative continue to be seen by the channel as the products they want to sell. But great products are only part of the equation," said Jonathan McCormick, COO and Head of Sales at Intermedia. "While many companies claim to be partner-first, we actually put our partners at the center of it all. By surrounding our partners with everything they need to be successful - before, during, and after the sale - our unique channel programs help partners realize higher margins, keep more of what they make, and grow new, healthy, recurring revenue streams."

This immersive, 360° approach includes a full library of brandable sales and marketing materials, a Partner Concierge Desk to assist in quoting and provisioning, handling billing and complex taxation issues for partners, and much more.

Intermedia's integrated suite of cloud applications includes Intermedia Unite^TM - the all-in-one cloud communications and collaboration platform that combines a full-featured phone system with web and video conferencing, team chat, file sharing and backup, and much more, with the desktop and mobile apps that allow for anytime access from virtually any device - as well as business email, identity and access management, security, and archiving.

All solutions are managed through one intuitive point of control and backed by a 99.999% uptime service level agreement (SLA) and J.D. Power-certified 24/7 technical support.

"Cloud services are a vital part of the IT channel and have solution providers clamoring for companies who will help them grow and evolve their cloud business," said Bob Skelley, CEO, The Channel Company. "CRN's annual list of 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Companies supports channel partners by identifying top companies who can deliver a wide-range of innovative cloud-based technologies and services. We congratulate all the companies on our 2019 list for establishing themselves as leaders in this crucial technology area."
