Pat Botting, Managing Director, Freedom Communications, said: “We have built a successful business through our heritage in telephony and already support over 5,000 Voice and Data installations in the UK. However, organisations are now looking for trusted partners who can enable them to evolve their communication and collaboration approach and benefit from the rich features that Lync has to offer.
“Combining our heritage in voice with our knowledge and expertise in new world technologies, we’re ideally placed to support businesses in their strategic communications development. We’re pleased to see our team of UC specialists set us apart from the competition as the appetite for unified communications continues to increase.”
