Richmond Hill, ON, Canada, January 26, 2012—Esna Technologies (Esnatech), a leader in cloud-enabled unified communications, announced today the expansion of its operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Esnatech has appointed Mehdi Nezarati as Executive Vice President and President of EMEA to lead the company’s European operations.

Nezarati will oversee Esnatech’s sales and services to meet the growing demand for its UC solutions.

Meeting the Demand for Cloud-Enabled UC

A recent study conducted by IDC found the European, Middle East and African market for unified communications is expected to grow exponentially over the next three years. Analysts predict the market will be worth $16.6 billion by 2015, up from $5.7 billion in 2010. Esnatech’s award winning UC platform, Office-LinX, provides the industry’s only true interoperable UC solution that works with any voice, mobile and PBX system and seamlessly connects with cloud-based applications such as Google Apps, VMware Zimbra®, Salesforce.com and Microsoft® Office 365 (BPOS).

Davide Petramala, executive vice president sales and business development for Esnatech states, “As more companies move their mission critical communication systems to the Cloud, the need for solutions that seamlessly integrate legacy phone systems with on-premise and cloud-based business applications such as Google Apps and Salesforce.com has never been greater. Our further investment in EMEA demonstrates our commitment to servicing and supporting our European customers and partners.”

Nezarati:  Seasoned Industry Veteran

Over the past two decades, Nezarati has led numerous divisions at Esnatech and has unparalleled expertise in product management, customer service, product support, and operational excellence within the organization.
