IR, the leading global provider of experience management solutions for unified communications and contact centers, today has been named an IDC Innovator in unified communications (UC) and collaboration management solutions according to a new IDC report, IDC Innovators: Performance Management Solutions for Unified Communications & Collaboration, 2016 (Doc #US41949516), November 2016.

As IT decision-makers grapple with ensuring their existing infrastructure is ready to support traffic from modern UC productivity and collaboration tools driving digital transformation, organizations must invest in management solutions that can assess network readiness and optimize ongoing operations to deliver a great user experience.

As a recipient of the IDC designation, IR is recognized for its Prognosis solution, a fully integrated suite of monitoring and management software that assesses IT infrastructures, predicts leading indicators of imminent failure, and prescribes remedial action.

“IR was named as an IDC Innovator for its competitive advantage derived from its unique intellectual property and 100% software-based probeless design,” said Rich Costello, senior analyst, IDC. “Enterprises and Service Providers can deploy IR Prognosis to bring real-time visibility, insight and control to complex, multi-vendor UC and contact centers.”

“We are honored to be recognized as an IDC Innovator for our role in helping IT organizations solve their complex UC&C management challenges, while driving their business towards digital transformation,” said Darc Rasmussen, managing director and chief executive officer, IR. “Today, Prognosis is relied upon to help organizations deliver an optimal communications experience to millions of enterprise users as well as their customers worldwide.
