ScanSource Communications Europe is set to launch a new cloud solutions programme under its existing hosted brand VaaS-t following a link-up with data centre and connectivity provider Virtual1.
The hosted solution will be based on Unify's OpenScape Business system.
The move is a response to growing demand for cloud solutions and hosted UC and introduces subscription-based, cost per-user per-month license models with cloud-based, on-premises or hybrid deployment options.
"Many of our resellers were looking at alternative solutions to our on-premises systems as a number of their end user customers have now adopted a cloud-based strategy," stated Paul Emery, Director of Technical and Services, ScanSource Communications Europe.
"We have responded to this market change by establishing our cloud solutions for voice as well as video."
The UK is the first market to launch new cloud solutions under VaaS-t.
