Alianza Inc., a cloud-based, AI-powered communications platform based in Pleasant Grove, has completed its previously announced acquisition of the Metaswitch platform from Microsoft.
“The combined offerings of Metaswitch and Alianza will enable service providers to close a massive gap in their ability to grow services revenue and improve operational efficiency by modernizing core networks, unlocking new innovative offerings, and ultimately transforming network operations,” Alianza said in a release announcing the closing.
With the close of this transaction, Alianza will serve a combined customer base of more than 1,000 communication service providers, including 19 of the top 20 global operators, the company said. Alianza will continue to support Metaswitch’s existing product offerings while integrating its cloud-native technology into a unified product portfolio. This will give service providers “a secure and reliable path to turn legacy infrastructure into a modern communications platform, ready-made to extend AI-enabled features that drive enriched customer experiences.”
“The acquisition of Metaswitch by Alianza will accelerate product innovation and growth for thousands of service providers across the industry who face similar obstacles in modernizing their networks,” said Brian Beutler, CEO and founder of Alianza. “Network infrastructure and operating complexity is often an insurmountable barrier for communications service providers, but with the combination of Alianza and Metaswitch, we are bringing together two world-class teams with complementary expertise to overcome challenges and unleash innovation at a pace not seen in decades across the telecom ecosystem.”
