Kurmi’s full software suite will be available for Cisco customers transitioning from on-premises to cloud solutions or hybrid setups, enabling faster access to UC automation.
Cisco’s SolutionsPlus Program is a catalogue of products to help businesses find compatible solutions which match their requirements.
Pascal Moindrot, COO, Kurmi Software, said: “Many of our customers come to us wanting a turnkey replacement for Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning.
“We help IT administrators with a number of capabilities from workflow automation, reporting, role-based access control, zero-touch provisioning and support for Webex Suite and Contact Center.
“With our help, UC features and apps are easier to deploy, administer and delegate, saving time and generating faster and more significant ROI.
“Being selected by Cisco to be the only SolutionsPlus partner to help simplify the day-to-day provisioning of UC and Contact Center solutions is a huge privilege for us and demonstrates the level of trust in our well-established relationship.
“UC environments have become so vital to businesses over the past two years, as has the need to easily manage and control them.
“This partnership will offer Cisco PCP users the continuity and flexibility they need when managing their UC environments, as well as giving them access to the full Kurmi suite, which will be available via the Cisco Global Price List for the first time.”
Kurmi says its solution is a robust and scalable way to manage the complexity of moving away from on-prem systems via a single user interface.
The company also said it had demonstrated its ability to reduce unified communications and collaboration (UCC) management costs by up to 80%, which was benchmarked when it released Kurmi-as-a-Service in March.
The software is easy to configure to customer needs and enables integration with third-party applications, according to Kurmi.
Wade Hamblin, Director of Product Management at Cisco, said: “Cisco and Kurmi have been working together for over a decade.
“Since we have discontinued our Prime Collaboration Provisioning offering, we are delighted to integrate even more closely with their best-in-class product suite.
“Kurmi Software Suite was an obvious choice for the SolutionsPlus program, as it offers robust and scalable management of both on-premise and cloud architectures, and thereby supports our cloud strategy allowing our customers to migrate at their pace.”
Kurmi Software is a unified communications and contact centre software solutions provider.
It aims to reduce administration costs and provisioning times for UC-CC platforms, including videoconferencing, telephony, email and messaging, and other collaboration apps.
Kurmi’s software suite manages leaders in UC such as Microsoft, Cisco, Zoom, Avaya, and others.
