– One out of three ALE Business Partners
onboard Rainbow in last quarter enabling them to address the growing,
multibillion dollar Workstream Collaboration market opportunity– Partners can offer comprehensive collaboration and communications services
that expedite user adoption time and easiest integration with already deployed
communication & workflow tools

SINGAPORE, Oct 11, 2017 – (ACN Newswire) – ALE,
operating under the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise brand, today announced strong
momentum for its recently released Alcatel-Lucent Rainbow(TM) cloud
collaboration platform. In the past few months, over 900 Business Partners
worldwide have gained access to the cloud collaboration and communications
platform offered by ALE(1). As a result, partners are able to unlock new
recurring revenue streams by delivering enhanced workplace collaboration tools
from the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Communications Platform as-a-Service
(CPaaS).

As more businesses look to embrace a digital
transformation, Rainbow offers users access to a secure, scalable, digital,
collaborative platform with feature-rich capabilities such as contact
management, presence, chat, audio/video calling, and screen and file sharing.
With the Rainbow Business Partner onboarding process, partners can take a
stepped approach to experiencing Rainbow’s features without any investment or
contract and create their own community, internal tests and demonstrations
before signing up customers.

With the new Rainbow Onboarding process,
partners have access to specific marketing support, customer success management
resources and specific incentives that support the digital workplace
transformation enterprises are undergoing.

Rainbow’s services can then be delivered either
as a standalone solution or through a hybrid approach. By directly connecting
existing telephony infrastructure – no matter the vendor – to the new
cloud-based services organizations can protect hardware investments and ensure
critical business processes remain intact and uninterrupted during a company’s
digital transformation.

In addition, Rainbow open APIs provide
developers and partners with the ability to leverage the Rainbow platform to
offer embed powerful collaboration tools into business applications and
processes. As a result, Business Partners can address their customers’
challenges with customized solutions that meet the specific needs of each
business.

Moussa Zaghdoud, Head of Cloud Business Unit,
ALE: “There is an ongoing shift in business communications toward
cross-border collaboration and high levels of staff mobility. Rainbow provides
the tools to improve how teams collaborate with their entire business community.

“Today, there are more than 40 million
active users of the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise communications solutions that now
have the ability to integrate Rainbow easily into existing applications and
processes – whether for team collaboration, front-line customer service or
automated workflows. Our partners can now benefit of the ALE onboarding program
that will help them to tap the immense and fast growing workstream
collaboration market opportunity.”
