This funding will accelerate Terazo’s hiring efforts and pursuit of strategic acquisitions and partnerships, enabling the company to scale its growing integration and automation services and expand nationally. Custom development, automation and cloud integration experienced rapid growth during the COVID-19 pandemic as clients sought to transfer traditional, office-based contact centers and other customer-facing platforms to the cloud. Terazo has become a trusted partner in this journey, and in the adoption of new business capabilities.
