Arganteal Empowers Microsoft Partners in Skype for Business Deployments
Skype for Business has become a business-critical solution for organizations. Companies look to leading partners to help with these deployments, but want to also be assured of cost-efficiency, application optimization, and a promise that they won’t be locked into one platform vendor. Arganteal understands this desire and is focused solely on empowering this Partner ecosystem with a cutting-edge app deployment solution.
“Our initial objective is to provide solutions and services to VARs, SIs, and MSPs who work with SMB’s or large enterprises to deploy Skype for Business to a virtual computing platform,” said Arganteal CEO Steve Kelley. “Our technology is uniquely able to make application deployment projects more scalable, predictable, consistent, and profitable. Before we launched the solution for general availability we were determined to prove this fact out with leading Microsoft partners, and our work has already proven out a savings of 60-70% of traditional engineering time and cost.”
Arganteal intelligently automates the rapid deployment of Skype for business with a deployment automation compiler that transforms business goals for the Skype application into a virtualized deployment design and then into detailed implementation of the layers of the computing stack. This can be done for all variations of Skype for Business from dedicated desktop collaboration with embedded voice or complete traditional PBX replacement.
