Managed services and network solutions provider Momentum has acquired G12 Communications to strengthen its UC offerings.

Momentum’s addition of G12’s services as a Seattle-based provider of voice-enabled and Operator Connect Microsoft Teams solutions will enhance its communications portfolio. The process will entail integrating G12’s leading executive talent while affirming its status as a leading voice-enablement platform for Teams.

Todd Zittrouer, CEO of Momentum, said:

We are excited to welcome G12 Communications into the Momentum family. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our vision of enabling businesses to thrive by communicating and collaborating more effectively. Microsoft Teams has become a vital tool for the modern workplace, and by enhancing our capabilities with the expertise of the G12 team, we are helping our customers optimize their hybrid work environments.”

Momentum describes the acquisition of G12 as a major milestone in Momentum’s growth strategy and commitment to offering advanced communication products to its customers. By introducing G12’s expertise in voice-enabled Microsoft Teams and Operator Connect solutions to Momentum’s suite, Momentum states that it is prepared to deliver an “unparalleled suite of services to customers”.

“Our team is thrilled to join Momentum and continue our mission of delivering cutting-edge voice-enabled Microsoft Teams and collaboration solutions,” said Rick Coma, CEO of G12 Communications. “We believe that together we can bring even more value to our customers by providing a customer-focused and seamless communication experience.”

The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2023, pending regulatory approval.

G12’s Operator Connect Solution

G12 Communications launched a Microsoft Operator Connect voice solution in August 2022.

Leveraging Microsoft Azure Peering Service, Operator Connect allows businesses to choose their own voice-calling operators through the Teams Admin Centre. As a Microsoft Operator Connect Partner, G12 could take advantage of direct peering with Microsoft’s data centres and its own infrastructure to offer improved connectivity and integration.

Operator Connect was added to G12’s Connect to Teams Portfolio, which included Connect to Teams IP PBX, Direct Routing, and Cloud PBX Integration.

Customers could opt for G12 to manage their voice calling services, as well as provide a shared service level agreement and technical support. For customers who had struggled to manage direct routing or PBX systems but would have liked to move to Microsoft Teams, it became simpler and cheaper to do so using G12 Operator Connect.
