WASHINGTON, July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CenturyLink,
Inc. (NYSE: CTL) recently added a Unified
Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) platform powered by the
BroadSoft (NASDAQ: BSFT) Government Cloud to CenturyLink's General
Services Administration (GSA) IT Schedule 70 contract.
The IT Schedule 70 contract is the federal government's largest
and most widely used acquisition vehicle and is also commonly used
by state and local governments.
The UCaaS platform is designed to meet the specific requirements
of government agencies with its secure, scalable, mobile, on-demand
infrastructure that can enable multi-site workplaces.
This cloud-based communications solution is fully integrated
with CenturyLink's secure, carrier- class network and expands upon
the company's existing portfolio of commercial hosted
voice-over-internet- protocol (VoIP) offerings, with the additional
benefit of meeting the unique security requirements of federal and
state government agencies.
In addition to the expanded security controls, this solution
delivers flexible pay-per-use options that span secure voice,
high-definition multi-point video, collaboration and mobile
integration.
"CenturyLink looks forward to providing government agencies with
modern, cost-effective unified communications solutions that can
help with agencies' digital transformation needs via GSA's IT
Schedule 70," said Erich Sanchack,
CenturyLink senior vice president and general manager, federal
solutions.
"We are thrilled that CenturyLink selected the BroadSoft
Government Cloud unified communication suite and that government
agencies can now access these services through a major
government-wide contract vehicle," said Jim
Tholen, chief financial officer at BroadSoft. "The BroadSoft
cloud services infrastructure is specifically designed to address
the security requirements of the U.S. government, enabling
CenturyLink to deliver compelling unified communications services
to its government customers."
By supplying cybersecurity, cloud, managed hosting and IT
services over its carrier-class network, CenturyLink provides
government agencies with the security and reliability they need to
carry out their important missions.
CenturyLink is currently ranked No. 35 on Washington
