MITEL/INTER-TEL MERGER MEANS BRIGHT FUTURE FOR HUNTEL COMMUNICATIONS CLIENTS

 

Mitel Networks Corporation and Inter-Tel, Incorporated have announced the completion of their merger. As a result of the merger, Inter-Tel is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitel^®.    The combined company will now be the #1 business telephone systems provider in the SMB (Small/Medium Size Business) market in North America.

 

"The merger of Mitel and Inter-Tel provides our clients with a never before range of products and services within one company," said Rob Reynolds, Vice President and General Manager of HunTel Communications, Inc. "HunTel Communications has represented both of these great companies for years because of their quality and advanced technological capabilities.  We are very pleased with this merger and look forward to offering our clients even greater service.”

 

The merged companies provide support to companies with 2 to more than 65,000 phone stations, depending on the configuration, that require advanced applications such as networked PBXs, Computer/Telephone Integration (CTI) capabilities and sophisticated Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) call centers or other specialized, sophisticated or unique applications.

 

The merged company offers customers a broad choice of solutions from the very small to the very large, from IP enabled to pure IP unified communications, from standard solutions to tailored, from single site to multi-site and from outright capital purchase options through sophisticated managed services.

“With the combined R&D power of these two forward thinking companies, there is no telling what they will accomplish” said Reynolds.  “It can only mean great things for our clients and their future business growth.”

 

Of the merger, Don Smith, CEO of Mitel said, “We have common entrepreneurial roots, a shared vision and the breadth of solutions and technology to address the diverse needs of the rapidly changing communications market.  As we come together we will deliver innovative solutions and managed services for our existing customers and channel partners, so that no one is stranded or forced to consider an alternate vendor. We intend to be the logical choice for both existing and new customers.”

 

Huntel Communications also offers VoIP solutions, voice and data cabling, wireless networks and security systems to client companies in Nebraska and Iowa.
