The joint solution combines AVST’s
UC platform, CX-E, with collab9’s
hosted UC solutions and is expected
to accelerate the transformation to
the cloud for government entities,
said the companies.
“For too long, the introduction of
new technology in the public sector
has been hampered by the limited
availability of proprietary, OEM-driv-
en solutions,” said Steve Boberski,
vice president of business develop-
ment for collab9. “collab9’s partner-
ship with AVST enables us
to offer an accelerated migration
path through a secure integration to
legacy TDM, hybrid and VoIP tele-
phony solutions.”
By removing proprietary applica-
tion instances from the cloud, the two
companies are introducing a new level
of agility, flexibility and scalability that
has, until now, been unavailable to the
public sector, said Boberski.
