Descriptiontext

NetFortris is a Seattle-based private company founded in 1994 that delivers secure cloud-based unified communications as a service (UCaaS) and managed network solutions. The company offers a communications platform available in cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployment models, with product lines spanning UCaaS, Contact Center as a Service, SIP trunking and faxing, video conferencing, TeamHub collaboration, and managed services covering network connectivity, security, 5G wireless access, and power management. Its technology stack emphasizes integration interoperability, including native Microsoft Teams integration and open-source-backed in-house product development.

The company serves multi-location businesses with small IT teams as its primary segment, with additional vertical focus on education, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and retail. Notable customer references include regional restaurant chains, Atlas Restaurant Group, and Acme Residential (a real estate firm that reported $24K annual savings). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales via a consultative 'one-hand-shake' onboarding approach with a channel partner program that includes technology services distributors and a find-a-local-partner locator. Sales motions include 'Book a Meeting' and 'Talk with an Expert' CTAs.

NetFortris generates revenue through recurring UCaaS subscriptions, managed services contracts, SIP trunking services, hardware sales, and professional services. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to business size. The company received a 2014 investment from Spire Capital and acquired Fonality in February 2017. It was recognized as a leader in the UC industry by Frost & Sullivan's 2023 Radar Report.
