Company

Company overview

Sangoma Technologies Corporation helps businesses handle employee communications and customer calls through cloud phone systems, collaboration tools and contact-center services. Customers pay recurring fees for access to its software and services, with usage charges for some offerings. Services generate the vast majority of revenue; sales of phones, connectivity equipment and other products contribute a smaller share. Businesses can also deploy Sangoma’s communications systems on their own premises rather than use its hosted services.

Sangoma is the primary developer and sponsor of Asterisk and FreePBX, open-source communications projects. It earns money from their users by selling complementary software, phones, calling services and technical support. It reaches smaller businesses through distributors, resellers and integrators, while typically selling directly to large customers. These sales partners also help implement and support its systems, and generally do not have long-term or exclusive agreements with Sangoma.

Most platform customers are small and midsized businesses, and the United States accounts for the overwhelming majority of revenue. No single customer supplies a large share. Delivering cloud services depends on third-party data centers and network capacity bought from carriers. Privacy rules restrict how personal data can be processed and transferred across borders, while U.S. calling and robocall-mitigation rules impose requirements on its telephone-connectivity services.

Sangoma’s results hinge on U.S. small-business communications spending and subscription retention, so watch Nextiva, Dialpad and 8x8 as important rivals missing from this list.

  • RINGCENTRAL, INC. competes with Sangoma for businesses’ recurring spending on cloud phone and contact-center services. Watch subscriptions to RingEX, RingCentral Contact Center and RingCX for a read on demand for the communications services both companies sell.

  • Zoom Communications, Inc. competes with Sangoma for business subscriptions to cloud phone, meeting and contact-center services. Watch Zoom’s subscription revenue from existing Enterprise customers for a read on spending by business communications customers.

  • AudioCodes Ltd competes with Sangoma to sell businesses and service providers voice systems and equipment connecting internet calls to traditional phone networks—VoIP gateways. Gateway demand is the clearest overlap to watch: Sangoma still sells these products after exiting legacy hardware, but now earns most revenue from services.

  • Twilio Inc. competes with Sangoma for business spending on tools that add communications to applications, connect phone systems to networks, and run contact centers. Watch customers’ increased use and adoption of additional Twilio products as signals of demand for these communications services.

  • Ribbon Communications Inc. competes with Sangoma to sell enterprises and service providers solutions that connect voice networks. Watch Ribbon’s Cloud and Edge business for this overlap, rather than its overall results, which also reflect substantial optical-network exposure.

  • Cisco Systems, Inc. competes with Sangoma for businesses buying cloud collaboration services and communications systems installed on their own premises. Watch Cisco’s collaboration software licenses and subscriptions, rather than its much broader networking and security business.
