Press Release

Richardson TX, August 23, 2011 — Sipera Systems, the leader in real-time Unified Communications (UC) enablement and security, and Capstone, a provider of real-time communications and customer interaction technology, today announced a partnership to better secure enterprise UC. Capstone has joined Sipera’s Reseller Program as a Silver Tier Reseller, and is applying Sipera E-SBC and UC-Sec appliances to secure UC infrastructures for its customers throughout Europe.

“Capstone’s value to clients is in its service coverage and capability across the European region. As a consequence, many of its clients and prospective clients have either implemented or are evaluating converged, multi-site communications deployments. These enterprise communications must be secured and in compliance with industry security and privacy regulations. Sipera UC-Sec and E-SBC appliances provide comprehensive security, from VoIP and smartphone endpoints to enterprise UC networks,” said Paul German, VP of EMEA at Sipera. “By partnering with Capstone, we can quickly extend enterprise communications security policies to all unified communications, satisfying industry regulations.”

“Our Managed Services team provides proactive diagnostics for communications infrastructures, along with system programming, project deployments, systems support, change management, capacity planning, and performance reporting to optimize UC applications and networks,” said Daniel Montague, Managing Partner at Capstone. “Working with Sipera, we can more quickly and easily secure our clients’ UC networks, applications and endpoints. It allows us to offer a complete, and importantly, a secure proposition to our clients.”

Capstone, in conjunction with Sipera, is hosting an Avaya Technology Training Day on September 8, at the Mint Hotel Westminster, in London. This free training session will deliver hands-on education around the Avaya Aura Communication Manager platform, and cover basic and advanced configuration principles and techniques for those in telecoms management, network engineering, support specialist and voice analyst functions.
