Ribbon Communications has set its sights on boosting Australia and New Zealand partner numbers through the launch of an integration with Microsoft Teams.
The US-based communications software, IP and optical networking solutions vendor has launched Ribbon Connect for resellers and integrators.
The vendor claims this allows them to use direct routing to add voice-calling capabilities into Microsoft Teams.
The move comes as part of Ribbon’s efforts to boost its partner numbers in A/NZ following the signing of Mia Distribution as a regional distributor.
Code Software specialises in UC insights with features including advanced analytics, reporting, wallboards and voice recording solutions.
The company’s Clobba product suite integrates with Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business, Cisco, Avaya and Mitel to deliver business intelligence.
“We are extremely excited to partner with Mia Distribution. They are recognised as one of the fastest growing UC distributors in the ANZ market and their specialist skills in distribution are a perfect fit for our product portfolio,” Code Software director Kieran Mullins said.
“Their distribution channel opens our reach within the Australian market to a customer base and size we haven’t been able to access previously. We look forward to working with their channel teams and partners.”

Australian unified communications (UC) technology distributor Mia Distribution has signed a deal with UC management vendor Code Software.
UK-based Code Software provides tools to help end-users manage their communications platforms through managing calls and monitoring quality.
The vendor’s solutions work across the likes of Microsoft Teams, Cisco, Mitel, Avaya and Amazon Chime.
“Code Software allows us to offer our partner base, and their customers, insights into their businesses in a way previously not easily available,” said Brad Milne, Mia Distribution managing director.
Communications software, IP voice and optical networking solutions vendor Ribbon Communications has appointed Mia Distribution as its new distributor.
US-based Ribbon specialises in IP-based real time communications security and software solutions and products for fixed broadband, mobile and other service providers as well as large enterprises.
Mia said signing Ribbon would help accelerate its channel partners’ journey to cloud calling and full UC adoption.
“With our recent partnership we are able to offer our service provider partners critical core voice infrastructure requirements and with Ribbon’s new offering in Ribbon Connect, we are able to offer virtualised UC and Microsoft Teams direct routing licensing on a per consumption model,” Mia’s announcement read.
