Mitel has launched its MiCloud Enterprise UCaaS offering for channel partners in Canada.
The move respresents the third major market launch of MiCloud Enterprise UCaaS since Mitel first introduced the service for the U.S. market six months ago, followed by the UK launch in May. Mitel will continue to roll the channel solution out in select markets worldwide, it said.
“Demand for cloud communications continues to accelerate and Mitel is helping our business partners capitalize on this growing opportunity with MiCloud Enterprise UCaaS,” said Tom Lang, vice president of Canada at Mitel. “For many channel partners, this solution is their bridge to being able to deploy and support their own cloud service while creating recurring revenue streams and providing their customers attractive services for business communications in the cloud.”
The cloud service connects employees, partner and customers with business phones with telepresence, chat, audio and videoconferencing capabilities.
Mitel has signed up a few partners so far, including Excel Telecom Inc, Incotel-GH IP Solutions, Introtel Communications Inc, Merbridge Networks Corporation, Minitel Communications Corporation, RackForce Networks Inc and Williams Telecommunications Corp.
“Excel Telecom has been seeking a compelling cloud offer and we are very pleased to partner with Mitel,” said Christian Hamel, president of Excel. “In a world where technology is constantly changing, it is essential to have the flexibility and consistency in R&D to be able to meet the requirements of today’s businesses. The fact that Mitel offered us the best path to the cloud with all the unified communications features already tried and tested gives us a lot of confidence for the future of our cloud strategy.”
Added Dino Silla, president of GH Incotel, “Being able to offer the best cloud communications solutions is a success factor. Mitel’s hybrid solution offers feature parity with the CPE solution and this is a big differentiator in the cloud market.”
