COMMS NEWS
RYDAL COMMS SNAPS UP CLOUDSOURCE
RYDAL COMMS HAS acquired the assets of Cloudsource which will see
over 400 phone systems move into the Rydal fold. Cloudsource has
had a blistering start to its life as a business, founded by Carl Lowe
(pictured above) about four years ago. In that short time Cloudsource
grew into a multi-million pound company and picked up several awards
along the way, including a few Comms Business Awards.
Writing on the Rydal blog last month, Managing Director Steffan
Dancy said “We are delighted to confirm our acquisition of Cloudsource
Technologies Telecoms & IT assets from its benefactor Tower Leasing
for an undisclosed fee. Cloudsource Technologies have been trading
for some time and specialise in providing IT and Telecoms services to
business users across the UK.”
Dancy continued, ”The opportunity proposed was a ‘no brainer’ and
as a fantastic move for our Group. The acquisition adds over 400 phone
system clients, all with network services and IT contracts to support.
The majority are already today supported on our flagship product,
Ericsson LG IPECs and IPECs Cloud. This means the migration for the
customer base will be seamless and we can focus on delivering our
customer service excellence into the clients. I would like to personally
welcome all the customers to Rydal Comms.”

business devices, including a
new line of professional-grade
communication headsets,

The new portfolio of L100

headset usage issues.
Building on the November
2018 expansion of its Open SIP
smart devices portfolio, Avaya
has increased the ability of the
Essential Experience J100 Series
of smart business desktop
devices to support Broadsoft UC
features, enabling UCaaS service
providers to add Avaya Open
SIP to their UCaaS offerings on a
broad scale.
Ard Verboon, General Manager
of the Devices portfolio, Avaya
commented “With the availability
of support for Broadsoft
advanced features combined
with the large breadth of the
Avaya Desktop Experience
portfolio, Avaya is now a onestop
shop for any smart device
that a company may need,
and UCaaS providers can now
look to Avaya to meet their
smart devices needs–from the

conferencing, to headsets–
as well as industry vertical
solutions.”
