Windstream Enterprise (WE), a leading managed communications service provider, today announced its WE will Commitment was named the winner of the Gold Stevie^® Award in the “Telecommunications – Service” category at the 20^th Annual American Business Awards^®. This is the fourth year in a row that Windstream Enterprise solutions have been recognized by the American Business Awards, demonstrating a strong and consistent track record of success with the company’s product and service innovation.

Winning this respected award highlights the unique impact of the company’s WE will Commitment, a promise to deliver connectivity, security and collaboration solutions that meet the demands of modern-day enterprises with an unrivaled experience in the industry. Comprised of five industry-leading solution guarantees, the WE will Commitment ensures OfficeSuite UC® and SD-Wan customers receive 100% uptime and complete satisfaction, with the option to simply walk away with no obligations or termination fees if expectations are otherwise not met. Furthermore, Windstream Enterprise will lock in rates for the life of a contract and will provide automatic upgrades to the next generation of technology at no additional cost.

The judges who selected Windstream Enterprise for the Gold Stevie commented that, “By helping customers cost-effectively future-proof their business, and guaranteeing them full connectivity to support the remote working and digital customer journeys on which they rely more heavily today than ever, the We will Commitment [helps customers succeed],” and that these first-in-the-industry service guarantees are a “differentiated and unique offering that will take competitors a long time to catch up.”
