Transcript for Davide Petramala of Esnatech on UC Offerings and the Cloud
Blair Pleasant: Hi, this is Blair Pleasant, I am at the Mitel Partner Conference with Davide Petramale from Esnatech. So Davide, tell us what you are doing here.
Davide Petramala: Well, what we are doing is we are showing our applications platform, that integrates the Mitel 3300, it's a cloud-based application. So if any organization is migrating a core business solution like SalesForce Automation or email in the cloud, like Google Apps and Salesforce.com, we provide the application framework that integrates dialing, presence, messaging, call control, right in those cloud solutions. So companies can migrate to the cloud, integrate their existing voice infrastructure, and then deliver it as a complete virtual solution within their VMWare infrastructure. So private cloud integration to public cloud applications.
Blair: So is this available now or is this the future?
Davide: No, it's available now and it's been out for the last couple of years and we have been able to actually see great momentum in a lot of enterprise customers already today.
Blair: Can you talk about any customers?
Davide: Absolutely. The City of Westerville, it's a case study at www.esnatech.com. Mitel 3300, Esna platform, integrated into Google Apps. They were an old Novell Groupwise shop, and now they have the ability to have all 300 employees on the 3300, even though they only have 200 extensions. The Esna integrates the Google Voice extensions into the 3300, so all their external workers can work off Google voice numbers but integrate nicely or tightly into the 3300. So saving costs, no capital assets, all integrated into the cloud solution.
Blair: Great—well thank you very much.
Davide: My pleasure.
