It seems like every voice solution these days is aimed at the SMB sector. Left and right, providers are aiming to provide cost-effective, scalable solutions for smaller companies.

But NextPoint and Nectar Services Corp. are different. The two companies have formed a partnership to provide high-scale solutions for large global enterprises.

The partnership brings together Nectar’s Enterprise Session Management (ESM) application and portal and NextPoint’s Unified Communications Exchange, giving companies the tools to deliver interconnection capable systems over existing and new IP-PBX deployments on WANs.

“The Nectar ESM platform is a key component to the delivery of carrier- grade services to the enterprise community,” said Anthony Servidio, CEO and Chairman of Juma Technology, Nectar’s parent company. “This solution is rock solid. It truly adds comfort to clients looking for the best solution and delivers a team of professionals with the know-how and experience to guide them through this entire process. The Nectar-NextPoint solution provides enormous value every step of the way as large enterprise organizations transition to IP-convergence and unified communications platforms.”
