There’s no escaping technology transitions when it comes to unified communications solutions.
Popular vendors come and go all the time, leaving many customers frustrated as their essential business communication apps disappear or become unrecognizable after merging with larger tech stacks.
That’s why it’s important to protect the years of brand identity and investment you’ve made into your platforms by exploring the right alternatives.
This is exactly what customers are experiencing right now with Microsoft’s decision to acquire Metaswitch Networks and their flagship MaX UC product. Many customers worry this acquisition means the platform is heading towards end-of-life status.
The MaX UC sunset strikes at the heart of user experience, forcing you as a vendor to navigate changes that will impact your operations on all fronts. Choosing Acrobits Cloud Softphone as a replacement takes that risk off the table.
Our solution is server-agnostic, meaning that if you decide to transition away from your current MetaSwitch core tomorrow, our apps can connect to any other server infrastructure without disrupting your customer user experience again.
What the Metaswitch acquisition means for MaX UC customers
Nothing is set in stone yet, but informal disclosures from Metaswitch have urged clients to transition to other platforms. That has left many customers worried about the future, especially those who have invested in heavily customized and branded MaX UC apps with integrated business intelligence.
Microsoft's acquisition of Metaswitch likely means MaX UC customers will be forced to switch to platforms within the Microsoft ecosystem. That would mean losing your unique brand identity and customized applications in the process.
For many MaX UC customers, this means becoming yet another Microsoft reseller, directly threatening your competitive edge and the significant investment you’ve made in Metaswitch’s technology.
