O2 Unify Opens for Business

SLOUGH, U.K. -- O2 Unify has today announced it is officially open for business and has already secured five contracts worth millions of pounds before its launch. The news comes as research from O2 highlights the number of UK businesses struggling under the strain of multiple suppliers offering communications services such as broadband, fixed line and mobile.

In January this year Telefónica O2 UK announced the creation of O2 Unify, a new business with 2e2, that will provide businesses of all sizes with the opportunity to outsource their IT and communications needs to a single provider. In addition to traditional converged solutions, spanning fixed, mobile, voice and data, O2 Unify launches this week with a portfolio of services including Managed WAN, cloud data services, flexible working solutions and an extensive ICT service framework.

Civica, an international market leader in specialist IT systems and business process services, has become the latest business to sign up to O2 Unify’s new offering. Civica selected O2 Unify as a partner to help deliver travel, subsistence and conference call savings of hundreds of thousands of pounds in the coming year by changing the way that their people meet, see, share and include their internal and external customers in what they are doing.
