ConnectSolutions Rolls Out “Instant-On Lync” UC for Emerging SMBs

emerging mid-market companies.Additionally, ConnectSolutions announced that the new CoSo TeamUp product naming architecture is replacing the NextUC line of Microsoft Lync-based products, and that CoSo Connect is the new family name for its Adobe Connect product line. ConnectSolutions gives companies the unique advantage of working with one vendor for any size UC solution.

A recent ConnectSolutions survey of approximately 300 organizations found that IT executives and managers in companies ranging from 50-250 employees believe there is a significant gap in the UC marketplace. Large UC providers such as traditional phone carriers were too complex and costly for this group while other low-cost providers offered only pieces of a unified communication solution. Rather than take a one-size fits all approach, ConnectSolutions decided to offer more choices to high growth business customers just as it does for its large enterprise and government customers.

“Within a few minutes, small companies can easily get started with CoSo TeamUp Complete — a ready-to-go version of the CoSo solution,” said Tim Hansen, VP Sales at Connect Solutions. “As businesses scale, they can easily migrate to CoSo TeamUp Premium or CoSo TeamUp Custom. This eliminates the cost of switching providers while enabling companies to scale their collaboration and communications service quickly.”
The ConnectSolutions survey also found that IT executives and managers at companies with 50-plus employees valued UC security and dependability the most, followed by cost performance. Technical support and ease of deployment were priorities too.

“We see tremendous demand for Adobe Connect and Microsoft Lync delivered via the CoSo MeetingCloud – which addresses two fundamental challenges organizations have historically faced: embracing best-in-class technology with low cost and risk deployments,” said Hansen.

CoSo TeamUp enables SMBs to start using Microsoft Lync in five minutes or less. Individuals and organizations can choose from four offerings: CoSo TeamUp Basic, CoSo TeamUp Complete, CoSo TeamUp Premium and CoSo TeamUp Custom.

ConnectSolutions deploys Adobe Connect and other applications on a secure, reliable, and scalable proprietary platform newly renamed CoSo Meeting Cloud.

All CoSo TeamUp and CoSo Connect solutions are available now. Pricing is available here and upon request.
