FARMINGDALE, NY--(Marketwire - July 23, 2009) - Nectar Services Corp., a provider of VoIP
communications services and wholly-owned subsidiary of Juma Technology Corp
(OTCBB : JUMT ), commented on recent news that Avaya has entered into a
"stalking horse" agreement for Nortel's Enterprise Solutions business,
saying the pending sale brings with it great potential for Nectar.
The Nectar platforms provide a much needed bridge to help Nortel customers
maintain their existing systems while transitioning to a new telephony
vendor. Nectar's solutions have the ability to manage multi-vendor
environments while providing visibility into a company's entire telephony
architecture.
Nectar's vendor-agnostic solutions, combined with the company's own
thriving channel program, well positions Nectar as a vehicle for Nortel
partners and clients as they move into whatever the next chapter will
bring.
"Clearly, the Nortel customer base and successful channel program are both
coveted jewels that brings with them great revenue potential," said Joe
Fuccillo, Nectar's Chief Technology Officer. "Nectar provides a transition
strategy for Nortel customers regardless of who ultimately ends up with
those assets, but our strong partnership with Avaya certainly makes an
Avaya-Nortel organization that much more attractive for us," continued
Fuccillo.
"At the end of the day, if Avaya ultimately triumphs in its bid for Nortel,
the overall success will hinge on their ability to hang on to those Nortel
customers and transition them to an Avaya solution, and that's where Nectar
comes into play."
Nectar is a Platinum Avaya DevConnect partner that has developed tools to
facilitate IP telephony transition strategies and deliver unified
management capabilities for complex architectures.
Fuccillo said that Nectar's ability to manage a mixed telephony environment
and accelerate the Avaya Aura platform makes Nectar a key factor in
penetrating the Nortel customer base.
"From our perspective, we're the perfect bridge for Avaya or any other
vendor to really penetrate and maximize the Nortel customer base. Managing
an advanced telephony system is difficult to begin with, add in multiple
vendors and it just complicates things even more. With Nectar, we make
management easy and that is going to be a big factor for these customers,"
said Fuccillo.
Fuccillo said that Nectar is in a unique position to help Avaya penetrate
the customer base and bring existing Nortel resellers into the fold.
"Without question, the sale of the Nortel enterprise division creates an
enormous opportunity in our market, and we're in an extraordinary position
to capitalize on that opportunity."
