Sept. 18, 2024 — Zoom and Mitel announced a strategic partnership designed to empower enterprises worldwide with a unique hybrid cloud solution that combines Zoom Workplace and Zoom AI Companion with Mitel’s flagship communications platform in a modern, deeply integrated communication experience. The partnership will address growing enterprise demand for hybrid unified communications (UC) deployments with a “best-of-both-worlds” solution that delivers security and control for mission-critical communications alongside exceptional collaboration to enhance business productivity. The partnership will introduce a Zoom-first experience within Mitel’s hybrid portfolio, including access to the full Zoom Workplace platform, which works seamlessly with existing Mitel investments.
This unique Zoom-Mitel offering will deliver a fully embedded, feature-rich experience without add-ons or plug-ins, including UC and mobile app integration, hardware device-level integration, and advanced business process capabilities like bi-directional presence, call-to-video escalation, and centralized user provisioning and administration. Additionally, users will gain access to Zoom Phone with embedded support for Mitel PBX platforms, whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud. It also creates a compelling opportunity for Mitel’s more than 70 million global end-users to elevate their collaboration experience by allowing them to seamlessly access Zoom AI Companion, Meetings, Team Chat, and more while leveraging their existing Mitel investments.
Partnership highlights:
- Establishes Zoom as Mitel’s exclusive UCaaS offering within its overall UC portfolio for customers of all sizes.
- Enables Mitel’s sales teams and over 7,000 partners globally to cross-sell the Zoom-first experience as a core part of the unique hybrid solution or to help customers migrate to Zoom if UCaaS is their preferred deployment model.
- Enables Zoom sales teams to sell Mitel’s award-winning devices for Mitel hybrid customers requiring physical endpoints.
- Supports growing customer demand for hybrid capabilities that “just work” across on-premises and private and public cloud models, offering flexibility, security, and control within the enterprise.
