Bandwidth is providing the BYOC solutions to enterprise customers to boost scalability in the migration to the cloud. The company currently provides the BYOC solutions across three multi-vendor platform stacks — Zoom, Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) Teams and RingCentral (RNG - Free Report) .

Headquartered in Raleigh, NC, Bandwidth is a leading global enterprise communications platform and cloud-native carrier. The company’s shares have lost 29.7% in the past year against the industry’s growth of 8.4%.
