Metaswitch TekVizion Skype for Business certification

TekVizion, a company which certifies, validates and automates communication and collaboration services, recently announced their decision to team up with Metaswitch on a new Skype for Business solution. The TekVizion collaboration will help Metaswitch assist their service providers in certifying their SIP trunking solutions on Microsoft Skype for Business. Currently, TekVizion is the only third-party organisation that is capable of offering this Skype for Business certification.

Both TekVizion and Metaswitch believe that the ability to certify SIP trunking solutions through Skype for Business is critical to success in the modern industry. Although interest in Microsoft Teams is growing, Skype for Business currently remains to be the leading Unified Communication service according to market share.

A Powerful Solution for Metaswitch Service Providers

When Microsoft created their Skype for Business certification program, it was an effort to ensure that consumers could identify the SIP trunking solutions most equipped to offer high-quality experiences through Skype for Business. However, TekVizion is currently the only third-party company to provide Skype for Business certification - making it a highly sought-after partner.

According to the VP of sales for TekVizion, Chris Freeman, although many companies are now looking for ways to reduce the cost of their communications, and streamline their services through SIP trunking, that doesn't mean that they want to give up on their existing technologies and communication stack. Skype for Business certification ensures that service providers can continue to offer the best of both worlds to their customers.

Delivering More Value to Metaswitch SIP Trunking

The SIP trunking service available from Metaswitch allows service providers to access attractive solutions for communication that reduce the costs of connectivity for the business while allowing the organisation to tap into new services. According to Freeman, Skype for Business certification will allow Metaswitch SIP trunking customers to maximise their revenue potential.

The fact that Metaswitch gives its service providers the opportunity to overlay additional services onto their core SIP trunking solution makes them a valuable addition to any service provider strategy. According to the CMO of Metaswitch, Ian Maclean, TekVizion will help Metaswitch customers to accelerate their time to market with a certification that gives end-customers the confidence they need.

To help as many service providers benefit from certification as possible, TekVizion is offering special pricing options. There is an "early bird" special discount available to any Metaswitch service provider that signs up for the service by the 15th of October.
