Crexendo, a provider of cloud communication platform software, UCaaS offerings and managed IT services, has appointed Santosh Panattu as SVP of infrastructure and global cloud operations. Panattu will oversee all aspects of Crexendo’s infrastructure, cloud operations and global engineering support, the company said.
Panattu has nearly two decades of experience in scaling mission-critical infrastructure, operations and leading global engineering teams in the UC and SaaS industries. In more than 10 years at RingCentral, Panattu held multiple senior leadership roles including VP of engineering, DevSecOps and SRE.
“Santosh’s appointment underscores our commitment to delivering the most reliable, secure and innovative unified communications platform in the industry,” said Jeff Korn, CEO of Crexendo. “His deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, AI-driven observability and global operations will be instrumental as we continue to scale our award-winning platform and support the growing demands of our enterprise and SMB customers worldwide.”
“I am honored to join Crexendo at such an exciting time in its growth journey,” said Panattu. “Having spent my career designing and operating large-scale, high-reliability systems, I look forward to applying that experience to further enhance Crexendo’s infrastructure and ensure our customers benefit from the most secure, reliable and scalable platform in the UCaaS market.”
Mitel 6900 Series Integration
In other company news, Crexendo last week announced full integration support for six additional Mitel 6900 Series IP phones on the NetSapiens platform, bringing the total number of supported Mitel devices to 16.
“We want every end user to feel like the experience was built just for them, on any device, in any environment.” Korn said. “Adding the Mitel 6900 Series gives our service providers more ways to deliver that seamless, built-for-you experience to every customer.”
“By working closely with Crexendo, we have been able to fully harness the capabilities of these devices and Crexendo’s NetSapiens platform to create a seamless experience for service providers and their customers,” said Steve Loebrich, head of channel and distribution sales at Mitel. “This focus on performance, security and ease of use ensures a consistently high-quality experience on the NetSapiens platform, right out of the box.”
In addition, Mitel has also joined the NetSapiens Ecosystem Vendor Partner Program (EVPP), Crexendo officials said.
