Yeastar names Yeahs Awards 2026 winners, citing AI and API-driven partner projects

Hosting Partner 2026: migrations, cloud growth and AI inquiries

Three companies were recognized in the hosting category. According to Yeastar, Rezzo Telecom of France expanded its cloud footprint eightfold after migrating from Vodia to Yeastar, which simplified its UCaaS operations and broadened its services.

Vela Networks of the UK developed tools that cut UC migrations from days to minutes. The tools automate data mapping and configuration transfer across four platforms.

Telex S.r.l. of Italy combined voice, messaging, workflows and AI in a product called Konversa. It uses Gemini and OpenAI models to automate up to 70% of first-level inquiries, according to the announcement.

Customer Success Excellence: from call handling to quality assurance

The customer success category covered four projects:

• Comunic.se (Brazil) unified Fontline's multi-site communications using P-Series Cloud, a multilingual AI Receptionist and AI Transcription. This reduced manual call handling across languages.
• Dialerportal (US) reported 91% less QA effort and an increase in problem-call detection from 63% to 98% at Prime BPO & Telecommunications. The results come from a pilot with 15 users.
• CMIT Systemhaus (Germany) migrated KNOP NEUSTADT GMBH from Unify to P-Series Software Edition. The project added Linkus and AI Transcription hosted in Germany.
• The VoIP Shop (UK) integrated P-Series, Microsoft Teams presence and SIMS at The Mountbatten School, saving an estimated 97+ staff hours annually.

The figures are as reported in Yeastar's announcement. The Dialerportal numbers in particular come from a small pilot rather than a broad rollout.

Distributor award and what Yeastar says about it

Alliance-com (France) and CommsPlus Distribution (Australia) received the Solution Advocate Distributor 2026 award. Yeastar said they earned it by enabling partner success through migrations, cloud growth, API automation and complex multi-site deployments.

Arya Zhou, Head of Global Sales at Yeastar, said: "Yeastar's AI-powered capabilities and open platforms enable partners to innovate beyond traditional communications." She added that partners can use the company's APIs "to build tailored applications and automate workflows" to improve efficiency, differentiate their offerings and find new growth opportunities.

What it means for the channel

The announcement points to a pattern in how Yeastar positions its platform: open APIs that let partners build their own tools, with AI features such as transcription, AI receptionists and automated inquiry handling layered on top. Several winners combine these elements, including migration automation, multilingual call handling and quality assurance.

Yeastar describes itself as a UCaaS provider focused on channel success. It says it equips more than 9,000 partners to serve more than 650,000 users worldwide. The results cited for individual winners are self-reported and tied to specific projects, so they illustrate what partners have built rather than typical outcomes across the customer base.
