Globalgig has acquired VoIP provider Velis4.
The acquisition adds hosted VoIP phone, SIP trunking, hosted call center and hosted Skype for Business services to the Globalgig suite of products and services, and further enhances the Globalgig strategy of providing multinational enterprises with a comprehensive suite of managed communications solutions.
This announcement follows iGEM’s recent acquisition of Globalgig, and Velis4’s services will now be provided under the registered brand, Globalgig.
“We are extremely pleased to acquire Velis4, a company whose suite of services perfectly aligns with the Globalgig strategy of orchestrating hyperconnectivity for the enterprise business continuum,” said Globalgig CEO Ernest Cunningham. “The enterprise mobility and managed communications market is currently fragmented, with no one provider offering the agility and ubiquity that today’s global businesses require to operate at their maximum performance level. Globalgig’s acquisition of Velis4 will further enhance our mission to solve this critical need.”
Anthony Jett, CEO of Velis4, will be joining Globalgig as the COO of the combined entity. Jett brings over 20 years of experience in telecommunications to Globalgig and will manage the day-to-day operations of the high-growth business.
“The mobility element of the VoIP market so far has been distinctly under-served,” said Jett. “LTE finally provides a reliable VoIP connection to the mobile device, so bringing Velis4’s technology leadership and Globalgig’s mobile footprint together creates a synergy with tremendous enterprise market potential. I am very pleased to be joining Ernest and the Globalgig team, Ernest has a proven track record of accomplishment in telecommunications and I look forward to partnering with him to make Globalgig a success.”
