- Highlights include strategy to become European UC Champion, new product portfolios and results of annual reseller awards

Dortmund/London, 13/09/2018 – First insights into a new product portfolio for Swyx partners and the corporate strategy of the unified communications specialist on its way to become Europe’s UC Champion – these were some of the highlights that Swyx presented as part of its annual Partner and Technology Conference held in Hanover on the 6th September.

Growth of the Swyx family – introduced at Schloss Herrenhausen

The conference programme, with it the audience and speakers from all over Europe announced several exciting innovations and portfolio extensions for its resellers. In addition to Swyx, also the Dutch company, Within Reach Group, that merged with Swyx in the summer and the recently acquired, French Centile Telecom presented their product and service portfolios, which are now available to Swyx partners as additional revenue streams.

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!”

An initial summary of SwyxON, the UC solution from Swyx's own cloud, was equally positive. After only half a year 130 partners have decided to sell SwyxON and already 10.000 users rely on the Swyx high quality of service from a German datacentre.

Centile and Voiceworks introduce portfolio

Christoph Wichmann, Chief executive of Voiceworks Germany, presented the online meeting solution Coligo and the capabilities of white label offerings to resellers, who will profit from further portfolio extensions. Together with Voiceworks Swyx now offers its own SIP Trunks. Managing Director Bertrand Pourcelot presented the cloud solutions for service providers for Centile, which together with Swyx also welcomed a number of major customers from Finland, France and Italy to Hanover.

Market Place and Swyx Partner Awards 2018
