“By joining forces with BroadSoft, mPortal–s vision to focus on creating compelling user experiences as a way for businesses to differentiate themselves in the marketplace receives a huge push to the future. BroadSoft Design is the perfect platform to expand our existing solutions, as well as address a larger, global opportunity with BroadSoft–s market reach,” said DP Venkatesh, founder and chief executive officer, mPortal Inc., who will now lead the team as vice president, BroadSoft Design.
BroadSoft Design is available to service providers delivering UC services with the BroadWorks® platform or via ®, BroadSoft–s fully-managed end-to-end service.
