POSTcti customizes their solutions around the needs of their customers, both end users and other industry Value-Added Resellers (VARs), helping them overcome the challenges of:

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, POSTcti is one of the top UK integration specialists providing the products and services needed to integrate legacy Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007, Microsoft Lync Server 2010 and other collaborative applications.

POSTcti's primary hosted offering, Unified Desktop ("UD" ), is designed to reduce operational costs, increase responsiveness, productivity and customer support levels, and deliver the latest technologies without major financial investment. UD combines hosted Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 (and its corresponding update, Microsoft Lync Server 2010) with hosted Microsoft Exchange to deliver an application-by-application or complete end-to-end hosted portfolio, including IP telephony, presence, instant messaging, audio/video/web conferencing and other leading collaborative tools.

"This acquisition represents an extremely compelling proposition to the market; bringing together the deep technical knowledge of on-premise, cloud-based and fully-hosted Unified Communications services from POSTcti, combined with InterCall's industry-leading collaboration services suite, global infrastructure and client base," said Neil May, managing director, POSTcti. "The combined result is a service provider of global scale with unparalleled experience and capability to provide clients with unlimited options for designing, deploying and executing on world class business process and communication integration strategies."

Following West's acquisition of SKT Business Communications Services - a leading professional service, systems integration and information technology firm - in March, 2010, today's announced acquisition of POSTcti positions West as a leader in the Unified Communications space. "The deep and rich experience in both the telephony and IT markets sets POSTcti apart from its competitors," stated Todd Strubbe, president of West's Unified Communications operating segment. "With the addition of POSTcti's product and service offerings, we now have the global resources and expertise to complement our best-in-class communications network and operations infrastructure to assist our clients with their UC needs around the world."
