RYE BROOK, N.Y. --(Business Wire)--

Broadview Networks, a leading provider of hosted voice, data and cloud computing solutions, took home a Bronze Award in this year's Best in Biz Awards, an independent business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts. Broadview's business phone system, OfficeSuite^®, won the prized industry recognition in the category of Small or Medium Business Service of the Year.

OfficeSuite^® is Broadview's easy-to-use, cloud-based phone solution that provides businesses of any size with an IP-based phone system, unlimited nationwide calling and an intuitive website for quick and easy updates. It delivers a complete communication solution with state-of-the-art features and applications that require no capital investment, maintenance contracts or additional IT resources.

More than 400 entries from a wide array of public and private companies in the U.S. and Canada were submitted to this year's awards program. Winners were determined by an independent panel of 32 judges from top-tier news, business and technology publications, as well as broadcast outlets and analyst firms including ABC, Businessweek, Computerworld, eWeek, Financial Times (News - Alert), Forbes, FOX News, Network World, PC Magazine, ReadWriteWeb, Upstart Business Journal, USA Today and ZDNet.

"We are honored to be recognized by Best in Biz Awards' impressive panel of experts," said Broadview's Chie Technology Officer and Chief Information Officer, Ken Shulman. "What differentiates OfficeSuite from other business phone systems is that it enables SMBs to upgrade to the latest enterprise-grade technology for no upfront capital expense. And while many businesses on the East Coast are still trying to recover from Hurricane Sandy, Broadview customers with power experienced 100% uptime--even companies that had offices damaged by the storm were able to stay in touch with their customers thanks to OfficeSuite's built-in disaster avoidance features."
