Avaya Connect Platinum Partner Six Degrees Group (6DG) is working with the vendor to launch Europe's first cloud-based IP telephony and UC service for mid-market businesses based on the Avaya IP Office Platform.
The hosted service scales to 2,000 users and gives businesses access to voice, video and collaboration tools on virtually any device. It has same capabilities as an on premises-based IP Office Platform.
The service will be delivered over 6DG's network, leveraging its SIP services and business continuity capabilities.
Ioan MacRae, Head of mid-market, Europe, Avaya said: "Cloud services deliver a new path to greater business agility, the life blood of any mid-size enterprise.
"New and existing customers can now achieve a true pay-as-you-grow Unified Communications environment.
"The service will harness 6DG's highly secure, privately owned network, giving mid-market businesses all the scalability and flexibility of the Avaya IP Office Platform combined with a robust level of service and security from our local channel partner."
Campbell Williams, Group Strategy and Marketing Director, 6DG, added: "When it comes to telephony and mission-critical technology, it has to work. Businesses are using cloud platforms to be more scalable and flexible in how they deploy IT and now we're bringing fully-featured enterprise grade unified communication to the cloud."
