FMC
proposition
SYSCONFIG HAS LAUNCHED fast
access to native FMC (Fixed-
Mobile Convergence) for
resellers, on the EE network.
The company selected Transatel
(NTT Group) as enabler for the
launch of an “off-the-shelf” FMC
service that includes the SIM as
an endpoint. Transatel is a
pioneer in integrating UC
directly into the SIM rather than
relying on OTT apps. Today,
SYSCONFiG goes one step
further by making the solution
available to service providers
for revenue generation in under
a week: SYSCONFiG is an FMC
service aggregator in this
respect.
Alex Tempest, MD of
Wholesale, BT says: “The
learnings from the COVID-19
crisis combined with the
progressive withdrawal of ISDN
only reinforces further the need
for easy and instant access to
productivity and collaboration
tools to empower a mobile
workforce. We’ve witnessed
that this is absolutely key today
and will be even more critical in
the years to come.“
Sam Dawkins, SYSCONFiG MD,
concludes: “We’re excited to be
giving our resellers the best
solutions for their clients. The
Mobile Desk Phone brings
together the ways in which a
company can connect its teams
under a UC solution. One size
does not fit all: with our portfolio
of end points, a reseller can
truly create a customer-specific
solution. FMC has been
something of a legend for many
years now, but I truly believe it
is to become the norm, enabling
one platform for all your
communication needs and
centralising your
communications story.”
