Tata Communications, a digital ecosystem enabler, today announces that it has integrated Cisco Webex Calling with its industry leading global voice platform. This enables Tata Communications to deliver the full suite of Cisco Webex collaboration and customer experience solutions, from its Global SIP Connect platform to support multinational organisations. Cisco Webex Calling by Tata Communications will allow global organisations to migrate their collaboration to the cloud and accelerate their digital transformation.
Organisations recognise the opportunity to drive efficiency, while improving quality of experience and collaboration between their users, customers and partners by moving their collaboration services to the cloud. However, adoption of these services involves complexity of maintaining high quality voice and video on a global scale. Tata Communications is in a unique position to be a trusted partner, simplifying the transition from legacy platforms by enabling connectivity solutions that realise the full potential of the cloud. Webex Calling customers can now benefit from industry leading applications, supported by Tata Communications’ world-class voice solutions natively integrated in the cloud, eliminating complexity on the organisations’ premises, and simplifying delivery to their end users.
Prior to COVID-19 crisis, Wainhouse predicted that licenses for cloud calling would grow 96% by 2024, with more than 53,000,000 new users adopting cloud calling services between 2019 and 2024. The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated this growth as organisations look to the cloud to drive digital transformation and support remote working on a much larger scale. Cisco Webex Calling by Tata Communications brings together the sophisticated features of the Webex platform with the power of the world’s leading tier 1 global network and managed voice services. This combination brings unparalleled calling, messaging, collaboration and customer experience tools to global businesses, on one platform, powered by Tata Communications’ domestic voice service in 25 countries.
“This year has brought about a transformation that will have a lasting impact on the workplace, one where remote working becomes the norm with heavy reliance on unified communications and collaboration technology. More than ever, organisations see the need for fast, secure solutions that enable connections with anyone, from anywhere with zero hassle,” said Peter Quinlan, Vice President, Business Collaboration, Tata Communications. “With the addition of Webex Calling to our portfolio, Tata Communications makes it easy for enterprises to leverage Cisco’s cloud collaboration capability with our industry leading enterprise voice services to deliver a reliable, scalable collaboration experience with global reach.”
