PARIS--(Marketwire - Aug 4, 2011) - Arkadin today announced a partnership with global hosted services provider Sipcom to build a Cloud Unified Communications offer using Microsoft Unified Communications (UC) Solutions. The partnership will enable Arkadin customers to get the benefit of UC in a private cloud environment by adding a seamless end-to-end collaboration experience to their existing Arkadin services.
"Arkadin's main strengths are their capacity of execution and their project management flexibility, as well as their global worldwide coverage operated by local teams in 27 countries and overall service delivery," said Daniel Allen, CEO of Sipcom. "We are excited to collaborate on such a scalable and ambitious project."
"The last few years have shown a shift in client needs from being product based to experience focused," commented Dominic Cusk, Chief Commercial Officer of Arkadin. "Our partnership with Sipcom plays to this trend, helping us to achieve our promise of delivering the best possible collaboration experience for our clients. Together with Microsoft's Lync UC solutions, we will accelerate our capacity to deliver UC cloud collaboration services."
