HOLMDEL, N.J., Feb. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage (NYSE: VG) ("the Company"), a leading provider of cloud communications services for businesses, will elevate its presence at Enterprise Connect this year with participation in five thought leadership panels on the future of Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) within the Enterprise business space.

Clark Peterson, President, Enterprise for Vonage, will participate in a panel entitled The Cloud & Your Costs: Understanding the Changing Business Model on March 9 at 8:00 a.m., and will address the increasing use of cloud communications among large enterprises and how this shift will affect the communications business model moving forward.

"Adoption of UCaaS solutions among large enterprises is expected to grow by 35% over the next several years and we are seeing more and more interest among enterprise businesses for our unique cloud-based offerings," said Mr. Peterson. "We believe this demand is driven by an increasing trust in the cloud, as well as the need for efficiencies created by integrating a cloud-based communications system with everyday business workflow and the flexibility, productivity and collaboration it brings to a mobile and distributed workforce."
