“Alianza’s cloud voice platform is a game-changer for communications
service providers looking to modernize their legacy and VoIP 1.0
networks with a modern, API-driven, cloud-sourced solution,” stated
Clark Peterson. “Alianza is extending the CPaaS solution beyond the
enterprise and into communications service providers in a very exciting
way. This is a tremendous opportunity, and with shifting market dynamics
and aging legacy platforms, this is the right time for service providers
to rethink and rearchitect delivery of unified communications and voice.”
“Clark is an accomplished technology leader, and I deeply respect the
valuable perspective he brings to our executive team and board of
directors,” commented Brian Beutler, CEO and founder of Alianza. “He is
