Details
AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading provider of voice
networking solutions that enable enterprises and service providers
to transition to all-IP voice networks, and BroadSoft, a global
unified communication software as a service (UCaaS) leader, today
announced that the two companies will be offering a solution for
mid-market enterprises and verticals such as hospitality, education
and government intending to migrate their communications to the
cloud. The joint AudioCodes and BroadSoft solution will address the
needs of these verticals which include survivability, PSTN
breakout, WAN resiliency, integration of large install bases of
analog phones, IP phones, and emergency calling.
The BroadSoft BroadCloud call control software as a service
offering provides a managed, end-to-end operating platform that
supports the full life-cycle of the business customer - from
initial quote to service activation to support processes. The joint
AudioCodes and BroadSoft solution is well-suited for vertical
markets such as hospitality, government and education. Many of
these verticals want to migrate to cloud unified communications
(UC), but require resiliency to ensure uninterrupted communications
even when the connection to the cloud is lost. They also do not
wish to incur the additional expenses that would be required to
replace their existing analog communications infrastructure.
The joint solution overcomes these challenges by ensuring
essential survivability of internal communications should the
connection to the cloud go down and by seamlessly integrating
analog devices via high-density analog gateways.
"AudioCodes is united with BroadSoft in driving successful and
innovative BroadSoft Business mobile unified communications, team
collaboration and contact center solutions," said Taher Behbehani, chief digital and marketing
officer, BroadSoft. "We are thrilled that AudioCodes has chosen to
make this announcement at Connections, and to join us as we
collectively change the game by transforming our industry and the
market."
"AudioCodes has developed specific solutions for verticals such
as hospitality and for mid-market enterprises," said Lior Aldema,
COO and Head of Global Sales at AudioCodes. "These organizations
need to maintain their analog infrastructure and require local
survivability and WAN resiliency options such as 3G/4G backup. The
joint solution with BroadSoft is ideal for these types of
organizations from the perspective of simplified deployment, cost
savings and the variety of business services and capabilities
provided by the BroadSoft platforms."
