The past year has been challenging for everyone and every business. In order to maintain business continuity, business and IT leaders have pushed their technology to limits they probably didn’t even realize existed 12 plus months ago. And amazingly, in the United States, most enterprise IT systems came through with flying colors.

We are humbled by the resilience of our customers and take great pride in providing the infrastructure and connectivity to help our customers to not only make it through the tough times, but also be ready for what’s next—whatever that may be. This past year has proven that our advanced network, powerful connections and team of experts are there to help our customers fuel innovation, and improve efficiencies, no matter what is thrown their way.

While awards and trophies will always come secondary to our primary goal of helping customers, we were honored to learn that our solutions, backed by technical expertise, have earned Comcast Business recognition across eight categories in the 19th Annual American Business Awards®, including a Gold Stevie® Award in the “Most Innovative Company of the Year – 2,500 or More Employees” category.

Comcast Business was honored at the 19th Annual American Business Awards® virtual awards ceremony, where we received eight awards in total for our innovation and solutions. In addition to “Most Innovative Company of the Year,” we received gold awards for our solutions, including ActiveCore, Comcast Business At Home, Teleworker VPN and Business VoiceEdge solutions.
