Masergy snaps up cloud specialist Broadcore
Masergy Communications has ramped up its cloud services with the acquisition of Broadcore Communications, a provider of cloud communications solutions.

The acquisition will add a full suite of global cloud communication services
including unified communications, SIP trunking, mobility solutions and custom integration to Masergy’s
current offerings.

Chris MacFarland, CEO of Masergy, said: "The cloud communications market opportunity
is expanding rapidly, and with this transaction, we can immediately offer these cloud
solutions to enterprises on a global basis."

Broadcore will continue normal operation
but as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Masergy. The Broadcore service platform will be
directly embedded into Masergy’s global MPLS network platform.

"With this acquisition, Broadcore will
continue on as a provider of cloud communications, but with a network
and parent company supporting our offerings and our customers," said Monty Ferdowsi, president of Broadcore.
