Centile Telecom Applications, the leading European developer of Unified Communications solutions for operators and integrators, announces the launch of its ISTRACLOUD platform by The Groupe Convergence, a French network of 94 independent professional companies with expertise in telecommunications, IT and services. In response to the expectations of its members regarding the evolution of the telecoms market, in particular the announcement of the end of the ISDN, and the arrival of new services related to mobility, The Groupe Convergence, a pioneer of new technologies, decided to invest in the convergence of communication and information technologies to offer Unified Communications and Fixed-Mobile Convergence services to its members.
After an extensive review, The Groupe Convergence has selected Centile, the leading European developer Cloud platforms, and its IstraCloud program powered by OpenIP. Through this partnership, The Groupe Convergence and its members benefit from a mutualized, scalable and feature-rich operator platform, enabling them to offer innovative white label Unified Communications and Collaboration services to their corporate customers.

Hosted by OpenIP, the IstraCloud platform enables The Group Convergence not only to offer its members a turnkey unified communications solution in the company's colors, but also to position themselves as a single point of contact with their member companies for the outsourcing of all their telecom and IT needs.
