Arkadin Announces Partnership With Sipcom

Arkadin has 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.
Daniel Allen, CEO of Sipcom, said: "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. We are excited to collaborate on such a scalable and ambitious project."
Dominic Cusk, Chief Commercial Officer of Arkadin, said: "The last few years have shown a shift in client needs from being product based to experience focused. 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 US cloud collaboration services."
Andrew Lind, EMEA Director for Business Services, Operator Channels at Microsoft, said: "Microsoft is focused on building a powerful partner ecosystem for hosted unified communications. We're excited to see Arkadin enriching their traditional collaboration services by adding the power of Lync 2010 to its existing offering to help boost end-user productivity and deliver a world-class user experience. Using Microsoft technologies, enabled by Sipcom, Arkadin can deliver full UC services to their customers with immediate effect."
