London, England: 19/7/17: 10.00 BST - Nuvias, a rapidly growing, pan-EMEA, high value distribution business, today announced that it has achieved Platinum partner status in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).

This achievement further strengthens the EMEA product portfolio for the recently launched Nuvias Unified Communications (UC) Practice, which resulted from the acquisition of leading UC specialist SIPHON Networks at the end of 2016.

These include the Nuvias Hosted Unified Communications Package, integrated with Broadsoft UC cloud technology, as well as the Nuvias SIP Trunking, Cloud Connector and Assured Trunk packages.

Nuvias will roll-out these new Oracle-based solutions across EMEA with a focus on DACH*, Benelux, France, Italy, Spain, the Nordics and the Middle East, through established Nuvias regional sales and support operations.

This offers unparalleled control functions and features, protocol support, and programmability and manageability in any type of IP network.

“There is growing momentum in the global UC market and Nuvias has a major opportunity to take Oracle Communications’ SBCs to new service providers and enterprise markets across EMEA, where they have an established channel network,” said Carl DCosta, Vice President of Worldwide Alliances and Channels for Oracle Communications. “Having built up a strong relationship with SIPHON in the UK, we are confident that Nuvias can deliver the same consistent solutions and high level of support across EMEA.”
