According to an announcement released by Strategic Group, its subsidiary Shift Networks is merging with Broad-Connect Telecom Inc., an IP telephony company that maintains offices across Canada. Having engineered and commercialized a national level platform whereby a range of telephony solutions and unified communications (UC) are provided, Shift Networks offers small to medium-sized businesses throughout the country with Voice over IP (VoIP) phone services.
Once the merger is complete, customers from both companies will benefit greatly by having a broader telephony solution than what currently exists. In addition, customers will enjoy a service infrastructure on a full national platform that includes critical mass. No offices are expected to close as part of the merger.
The merger between Shift Networks and Broad-Connect Telecom Inc. will coincide with Strategic Group’s strategy of providing value to industries outside of its core commercial real estate. Riaz Mamdani, CEO of Strategic Group, stressed that the merger is another successful business venture resulting from eight years of hard work and dedication.
