NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 15, 2010) - Nectar Services Corp., a software firm specializing in managed services for the voice and data networks, and wholly-owned subsidiary of Juma Technology Corp. (
Datapoint is a Platinum Avaya BusinessPartner and one of Avaya's largest partners in the EMEA region. The company is a leading communication systems integrator for businesses and an established provider of contact center and communication solutions. With teams headquartered in seven major European countries, Datapoint services over 550 clients operating in 5,000 locations across 40 countries.
Datapoint has selected Nectar's Converged Management Platform (nectar/CMP) as the backbone of its Network Operations Center (NOC) and the nucleus of the company's new managed services offering. Using nectar/CMP, Datapoint is able to help organizations minimize downtime before it impacts their business. For example it can help identify immediately when a call recording system fails. This is critically important to a financial services organization so as to avoid falling foul of regulations.
Datapoint said it plans to grow its business and build a greater services-led portfolio. The company expects to more than double services revenues and profitability over the next three years.
"The enterprise communication systems market is relatively under-served in terms of managed services and is ripe for this kind of development," said Jim Kent, Chief Executive Officer for Datapoint. "We see Nectar as the perfect vehicle to fill the void in the European marketplace and provide us with the capabilities we need to support our clients and drive new, recurring services revenue."
David Giangano, Nectar's President of Global Channels, said Datapoint's addition to the Channel Reseller Program gives Nectar a commanding presence throughout Europe. "We see enormous potential in the global marketplace with Datapoint reselling Nectar's services into their vast customer base and throughout Europe. We are excited to welcome Datapoint to the ever growing Nectar family and look forward to leveraging our partnership with Nectar's services," said Giangano.
Anthony M. Servidio, CEO of parent-company Juma Technology, added, "Both here in the states and abroad, our partners are driving Nectar adoption and rapidly accelerating our market share. We are very pleased to announce Datapoint as a new partner and look forward to having them deliver managed services solutions, powered by Nectar. Datapoint has built a highly successful business throughout Europe, making them an excellent ambassador for us in this region."
