BroadSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ:
BSFT) today announced it has acquired Leonid Systems, Inc., significantly enhancing Unified Communications (UC) service management and the delivery of a superior user experience for telecommunications service providers that leverage the BroadWorks® platform. Leonid, a leading hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) OSS provider based in Falls Church, VA, has developed a purpose-built, intuitive web portal for BroadWorks service provider customers that allows enterprise IT administrators and end-users to simplify the configuration and management of their BroadWorks-based hosted Unified Communications services. Leonid's web portal improves the overall navigation, accessibility, presentation and performance of BroadSoft's
UC-One application, enhancing business collaboration and productivity by making real-time communications services such as instant messaging, presence, voice calling and video calling accessible through a single interface from any Internet-supported desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet. "BroadSoft recently unveiled a new corporate identity built around enhancing the user experience at each phase of the Unified Communications customer lifecycle -- from upfront service messaging, to the sales and service implementation process, to service adoption and usage," said Michael Tessler, chief executive officer, BroadSoft. "As service providers increasingly demand a superior front-end UC services experience that is intuitive and modern, we recognized that Leonid had the expertise and experience to help BroadSoft better meet the evolving service delivery needs of our customers." Leonid has been a trusted BroadSoft partner for several years, with significant experience delivering unified web portals that enable BroadSoft service provider customers with BroadWorks software implemented to more rapidly initiate and provision UC services and ensure easy self-service configuration and administration by system users. As a result, BroadSoft believes that the acquisition will result in an enhanced, non-disruptive end user experience for BroadSoft's global customers. The acquisition is expected to contribute approximately $3 million in incremental revenue in 2015 and be approximately neutral on a 2015 non-GAAP earnings per share basis. More at
