Channel service provider Eclipse has launched a hosted version of Microsoft Lync available on a per user per month basis.
Eclipse says the solution can be implemented without the need for any changes to on premise IT environments and gives its resellers the opportunity to target smaller enterprises looking to connect easily and effortlessly, regardless of location.
Pete Tomlinson, director of product, marketing and sales at Eclipse told Comms Dealer: "Businesses are rolling out Lync trials in days with full adoption in weeks - all backed up with the support of the Eclipse Cloud specialist team.
"Lync can transform the way a business operates which is why it was chosen as the latest product to be integrated into Eclipse's portfolio of cloud solutions and join Hosted Exchange, Backup and Managed Hosting, which all work together to provide a subscription based suite of productivity tools."
"Lync is too good to remain the preserve of corporate giants. Every business should be able to benefit from new ways of working and Lync does just that, especially when combined with Hosted Exchange. It's is no surprise that the UK's fastest growing businesses are those embracing the agility of a SaaS model".
Tomlinson confirmed that Eclipse plans to extend its offering shortly to include the ability to make voice calls from within the Lync application, driving even more value and flexibility for reseller customers.
