Overview of relationship

For more than eleven years we have partnered with Microsoft to offer leading, hosted messaging collaboration solutions for global enterprises. Combining our leading network and professional services with fully managed services based on Microsoft technology, we help customers globally to implement messaging and advanced collaboration solutions that deliver improved communications, security, efficiency and productivity through a single global point of contact.

Evolving from Strength to Strength
Our partnership has evolved continually to meet the growing demands for security, reliability and productivity in global messaging and collaboration. Companies rely on messaging as their mission critical collaboration tool.
For more than a decade with Microsoft we have partnered to offer a fully managed Microsoft Exchange service that combines leading Microsoft technology with our lifecycle methodology; from initial consulting design through implementation, operations and on-going support. Together with Microsoft’s Hosted Exchange messaging protection and archiving (formerly FrontBridge Technologies Inc) we also offer enhanced services like message filtering, messaging disaster recovery and continuity solutions.

Strategic partnership with France Telecom
Today our partnership is leveraging a new France Telecom-Microsoft strategic partnership including R&D activities to develop innovative, next generation collaboration tools for fixed and mobile communications that will revolutionize the way global enterprises conduct business.

Strong mutual commitment and investment in our partnership
We have a strong commitment to our partnership. We have skilled Microsoft-certified skilled employees around the world to include consulting, engineering, sales, customer service, field operations and data centre professionals. Our partnership’s success is reflected in our position as Microsoft’s global Gold Certified Partner for enterprises, a distinction that enables customers to be confident in the quality of our managed services.
