Pinnacle Africa to launch Logitech's UC products

"The rise of the mobile workforce, and the growing costs of business travel make unified communications products like mobile video-conferencing ever-more appealing to business customers," says Pinnacle Africa's managing director Tim Humphreys-Davies. "The exclusive distribution partnership with Logitech will allow us to really tap into, and increase our foothold in, this growing market."

Muneeba Edwards, Pinnacle Africa's Business Lead for Logitech, says that resellers will have access to an excellent Partner Program offering extremely attractive rebates. "The products are very aggressively priced," said Edwards, "and through Infrasol, we will be able to assist resellers with proof of concept and all other SLA services." Edwards continued to say that Pinnacle's financing arm, Centrafin, would be available to assist with all finance related projects.

According to Edwards the UC product range essentially replaces the desktop phone with everything from video-conferencing equipment to headsets and webcams, and since Logitech has partnered with Cisco and its products are certified by Microsoft, the range is fully compatible with Microsoft Lync and Cisco Call Manager. As an end point solution, Logitech's UC range is typically focused on business / call centre, and mobile environments.

Stock is already available and Pinnacle Africa will officially launch the unified communications range at an event for its resellers in February.
