SYNNEX Corporation Launches First True Commercial Cloud Unified Communications Offering Nationwide

CLOUDSolv UC combines Industry Leading Telecommunications and Desktop Software Platforms with Microsoft and Broadsoft

GREENVILLE, S.C.--()--SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and services, announced today the company’s first Cloud offering to the channel, CLOUDSolv UC, a private-branded Unified Communications Cloud solution that is unrivaled in both technology and scale. Unlike other solutions, CLOUDSolv UC encompasses full voice integration through a complete, hosted UC solution, including VoIP and Desktop services which work off the Microsoft/Broadsoft platform that can be delivered nationwide in an “easy to sell, easy to deploy, easy to use” format. SYNNEX has also simplified aspects of presentation, acquisition, provisioning and usage, placing the complexity in the background to allow scalable adoption by both partners and end users.

“SYNNEX’ CLOUDSolv UC offering is the first commercially available Unified Communications solution that is hosted and delivered from the Cloud on a national scale, which will give our reseller partners a greater opportunity to capture their share of a projected $3 billion market by 2014,” said Peter Larocque, President of U.S. Distribution for SYNNEX Corporation. “Resellers will now be able to facilitate and broker deals for both voice-centric resellers and system integrators, traditional IT consultancies that are looking for Unified Communications and collaboration solutions for their customers.”

CLOUDSolv UC eliminates the key barriers to entry resellers experience through traditional VoIP solutions by minimizing upfront costs, accelerating the time to market and providing the technical expertise required, which stops churn and increases revenue per user while improving customer ROI. It also allows VARs to stay relevant to their customers by adding new hosted applications to their portfolio. Plus, resellers can still source their on-premise hardware through SYNNEX.

“Through our partnership with SYNNEX, Microsoft’s software platforms are being advanced on a national scale through their elite network of resellers,” said Cindy Bates, Microsoft’s Vice President of SMB.

SYNNEX is actively recruiting and training CLOUDSolv UC Premier Partners, and their associated sub-agents within their specific territories, to provide them with sales and technical training, sales and demand generation assistance, marketing support, service provisioning and call center support. Once established, CLOUDSolv UC Premier Partners will be members of one of the largest national programs for hosted Unified Communications services and will be able to establish monthly recurring commissions and create additional “stickiness” to their customer base through their newly expanded service offering that positions them as a leading provider of true Unified Communications.
