Nuvias has embarked on the next phase of its growth strategy with the EMEA launch of a UC practice following the acquisition of Siphon Networks in October 2016.
The practice builds on Siphon's existing strongholds in the UK and Benelux and will be rolled out over the coming months through Nuvias regional branches kicking off with Germany.
As part of the move Nuvias will add more staff across the region to support vendor and reseller partners.
Existing UC vendors and new vendors are expected to take advantage of Nuvias' growing UC capability across EMEA to increase sales in the region. Likewise, it is anticipated that both existing and new Nuvias reseller/integrator channel partners across EMEA will take up the opportunity to enter this thriving market or expand their UC business.
Paul Eccleston, CEO of Nuvias, said: "Siphon's technical and solution engineering expertise has enabled it to work closely with vendors and resellers on the development of UC solutions.
"This factor, together with the provision of service and solutions capabilities from Siphon has been instrumental in its success."
Steve Harris, EVP Unified Communications, Nuvias (and MD of Siphon), commented: "A major reason for joining Nuvias was the chance it gave us to grow and expand both in the UK and internationally. The UC EMEA launch of Nuvias lays the foundations for achieving that ambition.
"This is an exciting time in UC across EMEA with opportunities for the IT channel to move into the UC market and conquer the legacy competition. As part of Nuvias, and as a solutions and technology enabler, we can provide the service, support and technical know-how our channel partners need to help them make the most of this market opportunity."
Siphon was ranked 24th in Deloitte's UK Technology Fast 50 rankings last year, notching up 723% growth in the four years leading up to the award.
