Indian enterprises to use the cloud to deliver Mitel desktop and mobile voice, video and messaging
New Delhi, November 5, 2012: Tulip Telecom Ltd (Tulip), a leading enterprise data services provider in India, and TaraSpan, who provides India market entry strategies for Canadian technology companies, today announced the launch of cloud-based managed unified communication services to over 2000 cities in India, which includes cloud and premise-based unified communications and collaboration solutions from Mitel Networks Corporation (Mitel). Tulip, TaraSpan and Mitel officially commemorated the milestone in a ceremony attended by the The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade, during his participation in the Canada India Business Forum held in New Delhi, India.
An integral part of Tulip's extensive Managed Services
portfolio, cloud-based Unified Communications as a Service
(UCaaS) enables enterprises and SMBs to leverage business
communications services including IP telephony, audio and
video conferencing, mobility and unified messaging on a
per-user, per-month subscription basis. With this
collaboration, Tulip's customers can select from a wide
range of service with freedom to modify subscriptions options
on a monthly basis. For businesses, this means the potential
for productivity, quality and reliability gains and reduced
operational expense for managing their technology - all at a
predictable monthly cost.
Tulip's carrier-grade UCaaS service - a combination of
Tulip's nationwide MPLS/VPN network and world-class data
center infrastructure, Mitel's cloud-based unified
communications platform and TaraSpan's operational support -
will be delivering business agility and offer the potential
for reducing the cost and complexity of communication and
collaboration for any organization. This end-to-end
enterprise-class solution enables businesses to empower
office-based and mobile workers with the ability to
communicate, collaborate and enhance customer responsiveness
at anytime, anywhere. The open, standards-based solution also
allows subscribers to use the device of their choice
including IP phones, Smartphones (iPhone, Android,
Blackberry), tablets or soft phones and even allows the
migration of a live call from their desk phones to mobile
phones and vice versa.
Speaking on this partnership, Lt Col H S Bedi, Chairman and
Managing Director, Tulip Telecom stated, "We are excited
about this collaboration and look forward to leveraging
Mitel's cloud based UC platform and TaraSpan's
operational excellence in India to aim to bring a future
ready product for fast growing enterprises and the cost
sensitive Indian SMB market. We strongly believe that this
partnership complements our network, data connectivity
services and world-class data centers and enables us to offer
a complete suite of customized managed services solutions to
our existing and prospective customers." Adding further, he
said, "Such partnerships have acted as a catalyst in driving
Tulip's positioning towards becoming a one stop destination
for its customers for all their data services needs and thus
look forward to more of such valuable collaborations in the
near future."
"TaraSpan is proud to bring this solution to the India
market, as it will enable Indian corporates to communicate
more efficiently and cost effectively across their multiple
locations", said Mike Manson, CEO TaraSpan. "We anticipate
enterprises across India will adopt this service due to its
ease of deployment."
Gwilym Funnell, Vice President, Mitel, Asia Pacific Region
added, "This announcement further reinforces Mitel's aim to
deliver reliable and effective cloud-based UC solutions in
this market. Working with TaraSpan and Tulip will mean
customers looking to embrace the next generation of
communication technology can do so with confidence. "
