Many new Swyx partners

In total, over 400 partners attended the event including IT specialist trade and system houses from Iceland to Italy who sell Swyx as their first choice for business communication in the SME market and compared to last year the number of new prospective partners in attendance doubled. The impressive scenery of Schloss Herrenhausen created a great atmosphere to get to know future partners and exchange views on technological innovations, the market and joint growth opportunities.

Product portfolio expanded and SwyxON successfully launched

After the merger with the Within Reach Group and its subsidiary Voiceworks as well as the acquisition of the French Centile Swyx CEO, Dr. Ralf Ebbinghaus explained the new growth opportunities created through the expanded portfolio and next steps. “You won’t have expected the new opportunities created by a wider product range, which we can now offer customers additionally through Centile and Voiceworks – today we may surprise you several times!”
