Our partnership with Panasonic was first announced in February this year and has resulted in many end customer success stories, such as Scobis Company's quick phone system deployment after the Missouri-based manufacturing company experienced a fire that destroyed its previous phone system. As a Panasonic SIP Hosted Preferred Partner, we’re providing our enterprise-grade cloud communications services alongside Panasonic’s high quality SIP phones for a complete solution— no interoperability testing needed.
“Today, businesses are faced with many fragmented phone hardware and service offerings to meet their increasingly sophisticated communications needs,” Rob Wolpov said. “This is a great example of two companies working together to create a product offering that is much more than the sum of its parts.”

"That dedication to customers' needs is evident in their success, and we congratulate them on today's award.”
