BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Synacor (NASDAQ:SYNC) today announced several customer wins and renewals
for its advanced portal experience, email and collaboration suite, and
authentication software platforms in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Windstream renewed its existing portal and advertising agreement with

research firm The Radicati Group.
NorthwesTel and TruVista have chosen to use Synacor’s identity
management and authentication platform, Cloud ID, to streamline the
subscriber login experience across websites, mobile devices and
connected TVs.

solutions that enable them to quickly scale high value, personalized
digital experiences,” said Tim Schermerhorn, Senior Vice President,
Service Provider Sales & Marketing at Synacor. “With Synacor’s identity
management, portal and email software platforms, service providers can

On the enterprise and government front, Synacor added more than 150 new
Zimbra Email and Collaboration Suite customers around the world. Q4 wins
include the City of Rennes (France), HiWin Technologies Corp. (Taiwan)
and Maronda Homes (United States). In addition, the company added nearly
40 channel partners certified to sell Synacor products, growing the
