ARC Telecoms and Business Connexion have signed a reseller agreement bring enterprise IT solutions to South African SMEs.<\/p>\n
The first product to be rolled out as part of this agreement is an integrated communication and messaging solution called Business Messaging.<\/p>\n
“Anecdotal evidence and researched numbers support the belief that small and medium enterprises have a critical role to play in emerging economies such as South Africa. And yet access to technology, which can radically improve productivity, reduce costs and even increase profitability, is often out of reach,” says Steve Briggs, CEO of ARC Telecoms.<\/p>\n
“Business Connexion is traditionally an enterprise systems integrator. We have been looking for the right partner to assist us in taking our solutions into the SME space for some time and ARC has the business processes and management focus to complement our technology,” says John Jenkins<\/a>, Chief Executive Services Group, Business Connexion.<\/p>\n Business Messaging, which is a hosted exchange platform, is the first of a range of business solutions for SMEs.<\/p>\n “We chose to start with an email-focused offering as email is a business critical tool for small and medium businesses. When it comes to productivity, always-on email with integrated spam and archiving taps directly into top priority business needs,” says Briggs.<\/p>\n Additional service offers that the local SME sector can look forward to – from the partnership – include cloud based infrastructure and software solutions, as well as other productivity enhancing tools.<\/p>\n
