A part of Liberty Latin America, C&W Business is the enterprise arm of C&W Communications, one of the largest communications service providers in Central America and the Caribbean (CaCar). During the last few years, C&W Business has been continually enhancing its UCaaS portfolio and adapting it to address clients’ emerging needs.
“C&W Business has been offering UCaaS since 2015, leveraging multiple platforms such as Cisco BroadSoft, Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solutions and Metaswitch to cater to several segments,” said Sebastian Menutti, Frost & Sullivan industry principal. “On the strength of its offerings, it emerged as the fastest-growing Service Provider in the Caribbean and Latin America region in terms of UCaaS revenue and users in 2019. With a long history of telecommunications service in many countries in CaCar, C&W Business enjoys strong brand recognition across the region, especially in Panama, Jamaica, and Trinidad.”
“C&W Business is grateful for this industry recognition as we strive to simplify our customers’ transition to end-to-end, Cloud-delivered UCaaS services as part of their digital transformation journey. The health contingency has validated our vision to help our customers accelerate the adoption of Real-Time Communications services to the Cloud while securing Business continuity and enabling remote collaboration”, says Chris Coles, VP, Chief Commercial Officer of Business Markets.
C&W Business has a solid footprint within the hospitality, financial services, retail, professional services, and government verticals. Its custom solutions for the hospitality industry provide a competitive edge in the enterprise market.

C&W Business has a solid track record of delivering innovative solutions to Small & Medium Businesses, large organizations and government agencies. It intends to continue to expand the geographic reach of its flagship UCaaS service (Cloud Voice) to cover the entire Caribbean region and thereby boost adoption rates. It is also moving forward with technology consolidation to provide a seamless experience to UCaaS users, regardless of their actual location.
“C&W Business has added advanced video collaboration capabilities to our solution suite to accelerate the migration of our customers to more advanced services,” noted Menutti. “In the near future, C&W Business will continue to build its software-defined networking in a wide area network (SD-WAN) capability to ease secured access and lower costs for its UCaaS users.”
