Wavenet, an award-winning supplier of business telecommunication and technology in the UK, recently announced its purchase of VIA smart hosted solutions. Backed by support from Beech Tree Private Equity, Wavenet is using the VIA acquisition to boost the performance of its Microsoft Teams platform offering, TeamsLink.

Wavenet will be implementing VIA into its service and solution portfolio, significantly strengthening the company’s expertise in Office 365 and Microsoft Teams. The combination of both businesses will deliver benefits like enhanced geographic reach, scalability, and a robust management team. Additionally, the acquisition will also provide VIA customers with access to Wavenet’s exceptional selection of telecoms partnerships and trained engineers.

Building an Improved Teams Experience

Wavenet offers users its own automated platform, on which it can deliver multiple cloud-based communication solutions to resellers and direct customers. Wavenet will be now integrating VIA’s platform into the mix, to provide additional options to customers.

Following its launch in 2012, VIA quickly emerged as the largest UK Skype for Business provider. The company naturally transitioned into offering Microsoft Teams functionality after the solution exploded in popularity during the last 12 months. VIA brings years of experience with Office 365 into the group. The two companies together will now offer 8,000 enterprise and business customers an unparalleled platform for Unified Communication and Collaboration.

According to the CCO of Wavenet, Philip Grannum, VIA will be an exciting addition to the Wavenet Group, bring valuable expertise and innovation into the mix. VIA has been highly successful in building the management and platform portal for its Microsoft Teams services. Wavenet is looking forward to bringing the platform into its offering.

A Thrilling Step Forward for VIA

Since 2012, VIA has also seen a great deal of success and rapid growth. The acquisition from Wavenet represents a new step in VIA’s path forward. Additionally, it means that existing customers and new clients will be able to get even more out of their Microsoft Teams experience going forward.

The unique management portal service from VIA will now be made better than ever through integration with services for technology, security, and networking from Wavenet.
