NFON AG, the pan-European Cloud PBX specialist has launched sales activities in France with its own subsidiary. NFON France, based in Paris means France is the 15th country in which the NFON Group is active.
"With this year's opening of our location in France, we are not only fulfilling a stock market promise, but are also entering one of the most important key markets for cloud telephony," explains Hans Szymanski, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of NFON AG. "With around 27 million* employees, France is one of the founders of an impressive digitization offensive in Europe, alongside the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and Germany, for example. Transformation processes and their possibilities are taken seriously here and form the basis for an enormous growth potential for telephony solutions from the cloud".
The market for telephone systems from the cloud is growing steadily, it says. From 2017 to 2022, cloud extensions will increase from 13 million to 26 million in Europe - the market share in France alone will increase from currently eight to 12 percent by 2020.
"France is a country with a strong cloud affinity and offers plenty of room for growth," says Laurent Lhermitte, Managing Director of NFON France. "The spread of modern cloud solutions is progressing. With our core product Cloudya, the telephone system from the cloud, and our premium solutions such as Ncontactcenter, Nhospitality and Neorecording, we are entering this key market at absolutely the right time. After all, it's all about freedom of business communication: simplicity, independence and reliability are the top priorities. That's the future of telephony, that's our offer for France."
Laurent Lhermitte knows this market through previous roles in the French telecommunications market, including positions at Completel, QuesCom and iQsim.
"Laurent is the proven channel professional in France. Together with him and his team, NFON France will contribute to the European success story of the NFON Group as a disruptive and dynamic player in France," says César Flores Rodríguez, Chief Sales Officer of NFON AG.
