"As user business applications become UC-enabled and 'virtual' to support both mobile and desktop end user multi-modal needs, cloud-based application usage is becoming the practical basis for third-party implementation and management of UC-enabled applications for any size business organization," says Arthur Rosenberg, UC Expert at UCStrategies. "Allowing third-party application developers to exploit cost-efficient and flexible cloud based facilities to customize, trial, and manage ongoing usage of UC-enabled applications for both mobile and desktop endpoint devices, This will open the doors for faster Mobile UC application deployments on a practical, on-demand service basis and support integrations across all individual mobile user business communication needs."
According to UC Expert Kevin Kieller, “The Sprint Wholesale Cloud Portfolio is interesting in that it is targeted at helping resellers increase their business, as opposed to many cloud service offerings targeted at end customers.
Kieller adds, “While we are still awaiting the details of what SaaS and CaaS offerings will be included, the Sprint Wholesale Cloud Portfolio provides a unique opportunity for resellers to add specific vertical expertise and bring a focused communication service offering to market much more quickly and potentially more economically.”
