Kordia has partnered with Vadacom to deliver a cloud-based PBX solution with lines and calling bundled together in one bill.

Through the partnership with Vadacom, Kordia now provides an end-to-end voice solution for medium enterprise customers. Both the SIP and PBX solution have a price per user per month costing system and no upfront costs.

The Vadacom solution comes with the standard business features as well as features such as soft clients, simultaneous ringing, instant messaging, mobility and presence management.

These features are usually only available with an enterprise PABX system, which often comes with a price that isn't suitable for smaller businesses, says Kordia.

Kordia has recently announced it is making a play for NZ's ME market, expanding offerings and bundles to provide medium enterprise businesses a connection and services previously available only to large enterprise clients.

Drew Gilpin, Kordia director of sales and marketing, says awareness among MEs of cloud-based solutions is growing, and the pressure is on to stall or even reduce capital expenditure.

He says Vadacom was a natural choice for a PBX partnership with Kordia,

“Vadacom has a wealth of experience in the ME market having provided PBX solutions to more than 500 businesses – from tech rock stars such as Xero right through to household brands such as Green Fingers.

“The company's scalable system means customers can quickly add more users, branches and sites as their businesses grow – it also provides enterprise features at a price our ME customers can afford.

“Kordia customers won't need to worry about managing costly hardware onsite and have the peace of mind that their PBX is now safe in Kordia's Cloud, allowing them to focus on serving their customers and making money,“ he says.

Aaron Ridgway, Vadacom CEO, says Kordia's agreement to resell Vadacom is testimony to the product quality and proven customer appeal.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Kordia who provide the most robust telco infrastructure to support our innovative cloud telephony solution.

“With the recent introduction of $1M in investment capital, we are looking forward to scaling our business with Kordia,” he says.

The joint Kordia / Vadacom PBX offerings are available to Kordia customers now.
