Telecom Lead India: Data center provider Tulip Telecom and TaraSpan, a provider of India market entry strategies for Canadian technology companies, launched cloud-based managed unified communication services to over 2000 cities in India.

These services include cloud and premise-based unified communications and collaboration solutions from Mitel Networks (Mitel).

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.

Tulip’s customers can now select from a range of service with freedom to modify subscriptions options on a monthly basis.

“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,” said HS Bedi, chairman and managing director, Tulip Telecom.

Tulip’s carrier-grade UCaaS service, Mitel’s cloud-based unified communications platform and TaraSpan’s operational support will be delivering business agility.

“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 of TaraSpan.

This solution enables Indian enterprises to empower office-based and mobile workers with the ability to communicate, collaborate and enhance customer responsiveness.

Moreover, the open, standards-based solution 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.

“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,” said Gwilym Funnell, vice president, Mitel, Asia Pacific Region.
