HKT (SEHK:6823) – HONG KONG – June 24. 2021 – Console Connect by PCCW Global has collaborated with NetSapiens, a B2B provider of unified communications, collaboration (UC&C) and contact center (CC) solutions for service providers, to enhance network performance and control for NetSapiens customers globally.

Carrier and service provider customers will also be able to directly order NetSapiens’ UC solutions through Console Connect’s new Meetingplace.

At Meetingplace, users can meet, buy and sell within a growing ecosystem of cloud, data center, SaaS, UCaaS, IX and IoT partners, while making on-demand virtual interconnections between apps, services and one another.
