While many companies worried that Cisco would soon declare end of life for its BroadSoft products, we stuck by our belief that the platform would remain a leading choice for voice service providers. After several years of speculation and uncertainty, we're happy to announce that Cisco has officially [confirmed its commitment to BroadSoft](https://blogs.cisco.com/partner/delivering-superior-calling-experience-to-over-40m-users-via-webex-for-broadworks)! The company recently released an article stating that it will continue to help service providers deliver superior calling experiences with Cisco BroadWorks. In this blog, we'll discuss what this means for voice service providers so you can build your voice network with confidence. ## Should Service Providers Continue Using BroadSoft? Over 40 million end-users [depend on BroadSoft](https://www.ecg.co/blog/187-a-comprehensive-guide-to-accelerating-the-broadworks-platform) for voice calls,1 so it's no surprise that service providers want to know if they'll continue to receive support from Cisco for their investment. Considering Cisco's recent announcement, it's safe to say that BroadSoft will be a safe platform to build on for the foreseeable future. BroadSoft has long been the go-to for building highly flexible and reliable voice networks, thanks to its comprehensive voice service functionalities and integration capabilities. And because BroadSoft offers the ability to customize offerings based on customer needs, service providers can use the platform to differentiate themselves in the crowded communications market. With their recent announcement, Cisco also says they're working to enhance the [end-user calling experience](https://www.ecg.co/products/web-selfcare-portal) with support for third-party devices and advanced features such as unified [call history](https://www.ecg.co/products/callreporter) and directory search service. Clearly, BroadSoft isn't going anywhere - it's just going to keep getting better and better.
