Mitel snaps up Unify

Mitel has acquired the unified comms business Unify from French reseller Atos.

The move means that Mitel has a combined customer base of more than 75 million users in 100 countries and an expanded community of more than 5,500 resellers, service providers, technology, and strategic alliance partners.

Mitel’s president and chief executive officer, Tarun Loomba, will serve as president and CEO of the combined company.

Mitel’s channel will get cross sell opportunities soon

Mitel’s channel has been promised that it will get the advantage of cross-sell opportunities once the deal to acquire Unify closes.

Mitel announced a €700 million move for the unified communications and collaboration (UCC) and communication and collaboration services (CCS) businesses of the Atos Group earlier this week, heralding the move as a positive one for the channel.

Mitel chief sales officer Graham Bevington said that his outfit and Unify share a common, channel-driven go-to-market approach that is well-suited to fuel success for channel partners.

“Partners would have a broader portfolio of products and services with which to ensure customers have the flexibility to choose the communications model they prefer, as well as more global resources to support the overall partner experience.
