Manila, Philippines – Cloud-based software provider inContact recently partnered with Philippine-based Internet Data Center operator IP-Converge for its cloud hosting services. The partnership calls for inContact’s application servers to be co-located in IP-Converge’s Data Center, and shall provide connectivity to inContact’s offices and clients.

According to inContact Country Manager Junie Pama, “this partnership will allow inContact to manage its newly inaugurated site in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, using the robust network infrastructure of IP-Converge. The site will serve as inContact’s Asia-Pacific headquarters, which will serve the growing BPO industry’s solutions needs in the region, primarily the Philippines.”

“We chose IP-Converge for its telco-grade Internet data center facilities to serve our global clients. With its world-class IP-based solutions and services, we know we will be able to deliver high performance to all our customers,” Pama said.
