Working like a distributor, reseller Softcat has joined forces with unified comms specialist Conversant Technology to add Microsoft Teams voice services to its reseller portfolio.
Cwmbran, Wales-based Conversant Technology provides voice services and voice applications natively for Microsoft Teams, and benefited from a £500,000 joint loan and equity package from the Development Bank of Wales and Tata Steel subsidiary, UK Steel Enterprise, in 2018.
Patrick Copping, managing Director at Conversant Technology said: “Our proposition is very powerful and complete, offering a one-stop shop for customers to accelerate their unified communications strategies through MS Teams. “We are offering our portfolio to customers and partners of Softcat and have already secured a number of contracts through the relationship, and expect that figure to grow exponentially as companies continue to adopt work-from-home practices.”
Joanne Hannon, head of channel development at Conversant, added: “Softcat is now strategically placed to take advantage of the increased usage of MS Teams and add true value to their channel customers.”
Tom Rook of the Development Bank of Wales said: “The huge increase in remote working needs has seen Conversant accelerate their growth as businesses want unified communications seamlessly bringing together voice, video and other communications formats.
“Together with UK Steel Enterprise we’ve backed a fast-growing communications company, with the business working hard to develop its technology and create new skilled jobs in the area.”
