LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitel®, a global leader in business communications, today announced it has signed a master agent agreement with Westcon-Comstor to expand availability of Mitel’s growing UCaaS portfolio across EMEA and APAC. The partnership will further accelerate Mitel’s go-to-market strategy for UCaaS and offer greater cloud choice for businesses in search of communications and collaboration solutions that are easy to use and quick to deploy. The new agreement follows Mitel’s appointment of Westcon-Comstor in July 2018 as pan-international distributor for Mitel’s UC portfolio.
Building upon the success of Mitel’s strong master agent relationships in North America, the expanded agreement enables Mitel and Westcon-Comstor to support the accelerating move to cloud in the EMEA and APAC regions, while helping sales partners and consultants gain access to new recurring revenue-based services and market segments and unlock additional business opportunities.
Globally, Mitel is a recognized leader in cloud communications services and serves approximately 4.6 million users, including 1.4 million UCaaS users. According to latest MZA estimations, the UCaaS market is expected to grow by 12.7% in Western Europe and 16.4% in APAC over the next four years. Over the past year, Mitel has seen increased demand for UCaaS services in these regions, with 51% user growth of its flagship UCaaS solution, MiCloud Connect. MiCloud Connect delivers all-in-one telephony, collaboration, messaging and contact center capabilities in a simple-to-manage, easy-to-use solution that enables users to communicate more productively from anywhere.
