We are so thrilled to receive two additional awards this year. We are honored to be recognized by American Business Awards as Company of the Year in Telecommunications and by TMCnet as 2023 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award.

 

 

With more than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry, The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. "It is an honor to receive Company of the Year in Telecommunications, and I am incredibly proud of our award-winning team. Their talent, hard work, and commitment to excellence have made all the difference in our success," said co-CEO Patrick Sullivan. "We value and invest in our team, knowing that their hard work and innovation are what set us apart in the market."  

 

Darren Schreiber and Patrick Sullivan, co-founders of 2600Hz, started their tech company without relying on venture capital funding and operating as an open-source project. Their goal was to address the gap they saw in the telecom industry where carriers could handle heavy volumes but lacked flexibility and open-source single-server solutions were not suitable for scale. With this vision in mind, they established 2600Hz and developed a telecom solution capable of handling large user capacity and empowering their partners to create their own integrations. This small start up has grown to a thriving worldwide company.

 

“It is very gratifying for us to be able to recognize the achievements of such a wide variety of organizations, teams, and individuals in the 21^st ABAs, and we look forward to bringing them together in New York on June 13 to celebrate with them,” said Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards.

 

 

Right after receiving Company of the Year in Telecommunications, TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, named KAZOO as a 2023 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award winner for the second year.

 

“It gives me great pleasure to honor 2600Hz as a 2023 recipient of TMC’s Unified Communications Product of the Year Award for their innovative solution, KAZOO,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “Our judges were very impressed with the ingenuity and excellence displayed by 2600Hz in their groundbreaking work on KAZOO.”

"We are honored to have received the Unified Communications Product of the Year Award, two years running. Our team has worked diligently to ensure the success of KAZOO, and this award is a reflection of their dedication, hard work, and innovation. I am very proud of them," said 2600Hz Co-CEO and Co-Founder Patrick Sullivan. "We eagerly anticipate continued success in 2023 and beyond."
