Tulip Telecom and TaraSpan launch cloud-based Managed Unified Communication Services

Tulip Telecom Ltd (Tulip), and TaraSpan, who provides India market entry strategies for Canadian technology companies announced the launch of cloud-based managed unified communication services to over 2000 cities in India, which includes cloud and premise-based unified communications and collaboration solutions from Mitel Networks Corporation (Mitel).

An integral part of Tulip's extensive Managed Services portfolio, cloud-based Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) enables enterprises and SMBs to leverage business communications services including IP telephony, audio and video conferencing, mobility and unified messaging on a per-user, per-month subscription basis.

With this collaboration, Tulip's customers can select from a wide range of service with freedom to modify subscriptions options on a monthly basis. For businesses, this means the potential for productivity, quality and reliability gains and reduced operational expense for managing their technology - all at a predictable monthly cost.

Tulip's carrier-grade UCaaS service - a combination of Tulip's nationwide MPLS/VPN network and world-class data center infrastructure, Mitel's cloud-based unified communications platform and TaraSpan's operational support -will be delivering business agility and offer the potential for reducing the cost and complexity of communication and collaboration for any organization.

This end-to-end enterprise-class solution enables businesses to empower office-based and mobile workers with the ability to communicate, collaborate and enhance customer responsiveness at anytime, anywhere. The open, standards-based solution also allows subscribers to use the device of their choice including IP phones, Smartphones (iPhone, Android, Blackberry), tablets or soft phones and even allows the migration of a live call from their desk phones to mobile phones and vice versa.

Speaking on this partnership, Lt Col H S Bedi, Chairman and Managing Director, Tulip Telecom stated, "We are excited about this collaboration and look forward to leveraging Mitel's cloud based UC platform and TaraSpan's operational excellence in India to aim to bring a future ready product for fast growing enterprises and the cost sensitive Indian SMB market.
