ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - March 31, 2009) - VoiceCon -- Nectar Services Corp, an IP
Communications services firm and wholly owned subsidiary of Juma Technology
Corp (OTCBB : JUMT ), today announced that Strategic Products and Services
(SPS), a dominant communications solutions provider, has been signed as a
new Nectar channel partner and reseller.
New Jersey-based SPS is an Avaya National Platinum BusinessPartner that
maintains offices in more than 25 cities throughout North America. With
clients in 50 states and seven countries, SPS provides Voice over IP
(VoIP), unified communications, contact center, mobility, conferencing,
carrier services, consultative planning, training and maintenance offers.
The firm currently boasts over 20,000 customers and a nationwide sales
force.
By signing as a Nectar partner, SPS has selected the Nectar Converged
Management Platform (CMP) as the network management solution to support its
large base of maintenance customers. SPS has already identified a portion
of this existing base that will be moved onto the Nectar platform. In
addition to becoming an integral part of the SPS support system, Nectar
will also be bundled into the SPS standard go-to-market offering for new
contracts.
"We needed a solution that would help us manage the converging voice and
data networks of our existing customers and a platform that we could
seamlessly integrate into our go-to-market strategy for new clients," said
Vel Johnson, SPS vice president, operations and services. "We selected
Nectar as our monitoring and management platform because it is the best
solution for our business and delivers beautifully on both fronts."
David Giangano, Nectar president of global channels, said that the
partnership with SPS speaks volumes. "SPS is one of the most highly
respected providers of communications solutions and a dominating force in
our industry. Their partnership is another validation of our phenomenal
services and a clear indication of Nectar's continued growth and great
potential. Essentially, we have just added feet on the street in over
twenty-five cities nationwide," said Giangano. "We are extremely excited
about having SPS as one of our channel reseller partners. We look forward
to an extremely successful business relationship."
Communications and Managed Services Providers (MSPs), such as SPS, are
implementing Nectar/CMP to support their Network Operations Center (NOC)
and provide a superior level of maintenance service to their customer base.
Enterprise clients are also embracing Nectar as an essential mechanism for
managing their own integrated voice and data networks.
Anthony M. Servidio, chief executive officer of Nectar's parent-company
Juma Technology, welcomed SPS to the Nectar family. "SPS is a remarkable
company with superior technical and support capabilities. Signing a firm
of their stature is a reaffirmation of Nectar's quality services and our
own stellar team of professionals."
