Munich, 8 June 2022. NFON, a European provider of integrated business communications from the cloud, is successfully continuing its growth strategy and has gained the confidence of 1&1 Versatel with its smart cloud communications platform Cloudya. This means NFON now has three of the four major carriers in Germany among its wholesale partners.

As a specialised telecommunications provider for corporate customers, 1&1 Versatel is one of the leaders in data, Internet and voice services in Germany.

The smart cloud communications platform Cloudya offers a range of solutions, including easy voice calls, simple video conferencing and seamless integration of CRM and collaboration tools. “Made in Germany, hosted in Germany and having a deep understanding of the German market are factors greatly appreciated by customers. With 1&1 Versatel, we now have a strong partner to take the digitalisation of Germany to the next level. We will market our product portfolio together with 1&1 Versatel in Germany and we are very pleased to have gained another carrier as a partner,” commented Dr. Klaus von Rottkay, Chief Executive Officer of NFON AG. The rapid speed at which the markets for business telephony, unified communications & collaboration and business applications are converging plays a key role in digitalisation, which NFON and 1&1 Versatel will now leverage together. This change in business communications is impacting the business processes of companies of all sizes and in all industries. The ever-growing need to integrate different solutions on one platform and to be able to flexibly scale digital services as required is accelerating this development.

“Efficient communication processes are the crucial factor in everyday company life, especially considering the growing popularity of remote working. Our partnership with NFON enables even more companies to make their work processes more flexible, modern and agile,” explained Dr. Sören Trebst, CEO of 1&1 Versatel. “Our fibre-optic gigabit connections and broad range of digital services help SMEs leverage the potential of digitalisation and take the next step toward a digital future.”
