| Source: Nectar Services Corp.
FARMINGDALE, NY--(Marketwire - August 26, 2009) - Nectar Services Corp., a provider of VoIP
communications services and wholly owned subsidiary of Juma Technology
Corp. (OTCBB : JUMT ), today announced that ConvergeOne has chosen Nectar's
monitoring and management solution as part of the platform for its new
managed services offering.
Combining national reach and hands-on service, the ConvergeOne family of
companies offers a comprehensive range of value-added communications
solutions for businesses of all sizes. The operating companies under the
ConvergeOne umbrella include Georgia-based Combest, Idaho-based S1 IT
Solutions, and Minnesota-based NACR (North American Communications
Resource), which is the largest Avaya BusinessPartner worldwide.
ConvergeOne selected Nectar's Converged Management Platform (nectar/CMP) as
the monitoring component of ConvergeOne Vision -- the new 24x7 network
monitoring and support service created by ConvergeOne to proactively manage
a customer's voice, video, and data in a single converged environment. The
nectar/CMP solution has been implemented in the ConvergeOne Network
Operations Center (NOC) and will help to provide superior managed services
to the NACR, Combest, and S1 IT Solutions customer base.
According to Scott Springgate, Vice President of Services at ConvergeOne,
the company is excited about integrating nectar/CMP into the ConvergeOne
Vision platform. "The CMP application provides the most advanced monitoring
features -- allowing us to offer the highest level of value and services to
our customers. In addition to the advanced converged network monitoring
enabled by Nectar, ConvergeOne Vision provides root cause analysis,
incident resolution, and reporting, as well as support from our own expert
technicians."
Besides the agreement with Nectar, the ConvergeOne companies work with
other strategic partners to integrate the latest hardware, software,
applications, and services into leading-edge solutions for businesses.
Among those partners are Avaya, Cisco, Microsoft, Mitel, Hewlett Packard,
IBM, and EMC.
David Giangano, Nectar's President of Global Channels, called the new
ConvergeOne agreement a notable milestone for the entire Nectar
organization. "ConvergeOne put our nectar/CMP solution through a very
extensive testing and validation process, and ultimately selected Nectar as
the superior solution in the industry. Clearly, it's a great accomplishment
for us and a significant endorsement," said Giangano. "The entire
ConvergeOne family of companies maintains a stellar reputation for superior
service. We are extremely pleased to announce them as partners and look
forward to delivering tremendous value into the marketplace together."
Value-added solution providers such as ConvergeOne are using Nectar as a
vehicle to effectively transition their business to incorporate a managed
services model and drive reoccurring revenue on top of traditional
equipment sales.
Anthony M. Servidio, Chief Executive Officer of Nectar's parent-company
Juma Technology, added, "This is certainly an exciting announcement for our
company. Signing ConvergeOne highlights the enormous value of our services
and further expands our reach across the nation and into thousands of new
accounts."
