This is the second time that Five9 has collaborated with NexRep on the Stand Up To Cancer telecast.

"We are honored to be able to provide support to an initiative as impactful as Stand Up To Cancer in their fundraising efforts and it wouldn't have been possible without the Five9 cloud technology behind it.

With Five9 we are able to offer a reliable, scalable solution to all of our customers whether it's on a day-to-day basis or for an incredible event such as this," said Teddy Liaw, CEO, NexRep.

"At Five9 we always strive to provide the best possible customer experience. In a specific instance such as this, with the huge inbound call volume spike generated by this tremendous event, the need to provide a reliable, secure and scalable solution was even more critical," said Mike Burkland, President and CEO, Five9. "We're very proud that we are able to participate and support the tremendous success of this important fundraising event."
