Cbeyond’s partnership with Cisco to make its BeyondVoice with SIPconnect interoperate with Cisco’s Unified Communications 500 Series for small businesses is a boon for the network giant’s unified communications ambitions, suggests a story in CertCities.com.
The story quotes Brian Riggs, research director for enterprise communications at consultancy Current Analysis as saying that Cisco needs to build more similar partnerships for its UC system.
Riggs is quoted as saying:
“This is a good match for the UC500, which is targeted at small businesses needing a communications system with roughly 16 lines,” Riggs said. “The assistance of small business specialists such as Cbeyond will also help Cisco, whose communications division has had greater success in targeting larger organizations with IT departments and CIOs familiar with and appreciative of Cisco networking systems.”
