Stage 2 Networks new to the Cloud Communications Alliance

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Although The Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) was launched this week at the Cloud Computing Expo in New York City they are gaining new attention in the cloud server and cloud computing world. Stage 2 Networks, a leader in hosted PBX and converged network solutions, today announced it is a founding member of the Cloud Communications Alliance.

The mission of CCA is to promote awareness of the Cloud Communications technology and drive its development through the pursuit of new technical standards, capabilities and applications.  Comprised of 8 founding members, Stage 2 Networks will become a large player in the founding 8 members.   The Cloud Communications Alliance has been working together with cloud server companies for the past two years to help enterprise customers to experience more flexible and manageable voice and unified communications systems.   Their whole goal is to increase employee productivity while reducing costs.

“As one of the founding companies of Cloud Communications Alliance, we feel that this is a wonderful opportunity for friendly competitors to collectively share ideas, best practices, and industry trends,” said Joseph P. Gillette, President of Stage 2 Networks. “Just about every business will utilize Cloud Communications in one form or another and our industry has only scratched the surface on educating these businesses on the future of converged network solutions. As a founding partner of CCA, I am looking forward to working with the industry’s leading expert counterparts on this new endeavor.”
