NFON UK, an entity of NFON AG, a European provider of voice-centric business communications from the cloud, announces today its partnership with Radius Payment Solutions, a global business services provider that operates in 15 countries across five continents. Radius started more than 30 years ago as a fuel card company supplying diesel to transport companies. It now has a growing UK telecoms division called Radius Connect, which has over 120,000 Mobile and hosted VoIP users and is one of the industry’s fastest-growing companies in this sector. It is adding NFON’s cloud telephone system, Cloudya, to its portfolio to fuel the expansion of its telecoms division and address the growing market requirement for cloud telephony. Ray Ferris, Managing Director Telecoms, Radius: “The timing was right to add a cloud telephony product to our portfolio. We chose NFON as we really liked their product, people and its pan-European reach.”
"The market for cloud telephony has been power-charged over the last year, as businesses of all sizes shifted to new working models that require much more flexible communications systems,” says Jon Dailey, Channel Director of NFON UK. "The U.K. market has changed significantly, and cloud telephony penetration is forecast to reach 37.8% of the total market by the end of 2024, according to the Cavell Group. We are excited to be partnering with such an ambitious organisation like Radius, which has deep experience in successfully taking cutting-edge technologies to market and delighting existing and new customers with its functionality. There is great synergy between our brands and our commitment to differentiating ourselves with innovative technology and leading customer service.”
The partnership represents a huge opportunity for both NFON and Radius to drive the market growth of cloud telephony in the SME sector. Ray Ferris, adds: “We fast tracked our partnership with NFON as we wanted to start capitalising on the market need for cloud communications immediately. We see huge growth opportunities across our portfolio for customers who we can take on the journey to cloud communications, as well as new business growth segments. We are also excited by NFON’s product roadmap – it is clearly thinking ahead, and we look forward to having a voice in feature development.”
