TMC Names Zang a 2016 Communications Solutions Products of the Year Award Winner

Zang Recognized for Exceptional Innovation

Santa Clara, Calif. - August 17, 2016 – Zang, the industry's first all-in-one cloud communications platform and applications-as-a-service, announced today that it has been named a 2016 Communications Solutions Products of the Year Award by TMC, a global, integrated media company.

Smart apps built on Zang allow people to define how they want to work and connect. Zang enables easy “click-to-connect” communications with high quality video, chat, voice, SMS and document sharing from mobile, web or desktop environments. Unlike other solutions today that offer rudimentary APIs, Zang’s highly interoperable platform provides complete workflow automation and sophisticated application development capabilities.

“Zang enables anyone to conceptualize, build and deploy a communications app without needing technical expertise.  For instance, a hummus store owner thought of an SMS business messaging app for customer feedback, a PR manager thought of different way to message moms and dads for Mother’s and Father’s Day, and at our inaugural Zang Meetup this month, we had two dozen non-technical participants creating a communications workflow within two hours. The possibilities are truly limited only to the imaginations of end-users.”

--Mohammad Nezarati, GM, Zang, Inc.

 “Congratulations to Zang for being honored with a Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award. Zang is truly an innovative product and is amongst the best solutions brought to market in the past twelve months that facilitates business-transforming voice, data and video communications. I look forward to continued excellence from Zang in 2017 and beyond.”

—Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC
