Swyx spreads reseller unified comms through the cloud

Unified communications specialist Swyx Solutions has announced a new version of its cloud solution SwyxWare Compact for Datacenter for the channel.

Specially developed for reseller partners, Swyx’s new cloud solution makes it possible to take into account the individual requests of customers.

With SwyxWare Compact, resellers and MSPs can offer cloud-based unified communications services to their customers without a large initial investment. Based on a VMware platform, the Compact version has been adapted to the needs of the channel and is aimed at partners with existing VMware knowledge.

“Since 2007, we have offered our SwyxWare Datacenter Edition that has been primarily offered by carriers and service providers with their own data centre. With the Compact version we now cover the needs of the entire channel, so any reseller can give the customer a choice for SwyxWare – on-premise or out of the cloud,” said Swyx CEO Ralf Ebbinghaus (pictured).

“In the last year we have given our resellers the ability, through our partner Deutsche Telekom, to offer customers a UC solution via the public cloud, and now with SwyxWare Compact we have created a further business model for our partners.”

Earlier this year, Swyx said sales were up 35 percent in 2014, as it continued to expand its channel distribution. Swyx is a pan-European market player with over 1,000 authorised resellers, served by its Dortmund headquarters and dedicated offices in the UK and France.
