Berlin, Germany 16 August 2010: CommuniGate Systems, the leader in efficient, massively scalable Unified Communications, today announces its partnership with Deutsche Telekom International Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS), an industry leader in international carrier solutions, to deliver white-label Unified Communications as a Service platform to carriers.

Carriers across the world are looking to provide competitive and distinctive communication products to their Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) customers that deliver real value and return on investment (ROI) to both the carrier and the SMB. With traditional communication solutions from industry incumbents and internet giants, carriers face challenges of scale, cost and customer ownership. The partnership between Deutsche Telekom ICSS and CommuniGate Systems delivers the simple, cost effective and scalable solution carriers are looking for.

Deutsche Telekom ICSS’s MyCommsuite offering is based on CommuniGate Systems’ UC Centrex and delivers the industry’s only complete Unified Communications solution for the carrier environment. UC Centrex enables Deutsche Telekom to offer a full range of integrated communication services as white-label offerings to carriers, thus allowing them to provide distinctive and compelling Unified Communications products to their SMB customer base.

Powered by UC Centrex, MyCommsuite provides a suite of SMB applications to the carriers on a turnkey hosted SaaS platform that minimizes carrier investment, reduces deployment and operational complexity, and delivers rapid return on investment (ROI) with customer-centric applications that are simple to market, distribute and sell to all sizes of SMB from 5 people and up.

The solution enables carriers to provide highly customizable individual solutions to their SMB customers under their own brand; thereby delivering significant value to their customer, whilst maintaining customer ownership, increasing customer lifetime value and ARPU, and enhancing brand value and awareness.

Based on the rich feature set of UC Centrex, MyCommsuite enables an almost endless list of service configurations on an unbreakable, super efficient platform that scales to support hundreds of thousands of individual companies of all sizes – from the very small to the very large.
