The global reach, flexibility and scalability of Vonage APIs are key to supporting Tele-Town Hall’s accelerating growth in providing businesses and non-profit organizations around the world with the ability to stay connected with employees and communities, especially with so many transitioning to remote work during the current global health crisis.

“As our customer base around the world continues to grow, especially during the pandemic when so many of our customers have newly-created virtual workplaces, we needed a partner to help us manage and scale our offering to meet this growing need,” said Roman Marchevsky, CEO for Tele-Town Hall. “Vonage, with its global reach, proven SMS completion rates, Voice reliability, API documentation and ability to scale as needed, is critical to supporting and growing with our rapidly-expanding business.”

With these messaging capabilities, Tele-Town Hall has the ability to send critical COVID-19-related alerts and meeting reminders to political constituents, including voter registration drives for the 2020 U.S. presidential campaign; business employees; educational institution students; and so many others around the world. Tele-Town Hall is also using the Vonage Voice API to power virtual meetings in the U.S. and Australia, with plans to expand use of the API to New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom later this year.
