Zoom and Mitel announce rollout of AI-first hybrid communications
and collaboration solution
Jointly developed, globally available solution combines
Zoom’s seamless AI-first collaboration experience with Mitel’s
enterprise-grade telephony reliability and resiliency through a
single application
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Today, Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) and Mitel, a global
leader in business communications, announced the global launch of a
unique hybrid cloud solution that integrates Zoom Workplace and
Zoom AI Companion with Mitel’s flagship communications platforms,
including its leading telephony solutions. This marks a significant
milestone in the strategic partnership between the companies
announced in September 2024.
Today, organizations are navigating the adoption of emerging
technologies like AI while maintaining security, business
continuity, and flexibility when modernizing business
communications. This new solution is designed to meet the growing
enterprise demand for hybrid unified communications (UC)
deployments by offering a “best-of-both-worlds” approach that
empowers organizations to deliver mission-critical communications
capabilities alongside exceptional collaboration functions to
enhance business productivity.
The multi-phased rollout will see Zoom’s AI-first solution
integrate seamlessly with existing Mitel software and devices,
starting now with global availability for Mitel’s OpenScape Voice
and OpenScape 4000 platforms. This will be expanded to include
MiVoice Business solutions in the coming weeks, as well as MiVoice
5000 and MX-ONE solutions before the end of 2025. Device portfolios
like the OpenScape CP and the Mitel 6900 Series are now Zoom Phone
certified, with the full list of certified models available here.
Certification of Mitel’s OpenScape SBC is also complete, enabling
compatibility with Zoom’s Bring-Your-Own-PBX (BYOP) and
Bring-Your-Own-Carrier (BYOC) direct routing capabilities. Mitel
Border Gateway (MBG) certification will follow in the weeks
ahead.
“As businesses navigate the connectivity requirements to support
hybrid work, they need solutions that unite the benefits of on-prem
or single-instance cloud communications infrastructure with Zoom’s
industry-leading collaboration experiences, giving them the best of
both while future-proofing their organizations,” said Graeme
Geddes, chief sales and growth officer at Zoom. “The AI-first
solution provided by Zoom and Mitel makes connecting and
collaborating seamless and efficient while giving customers the
flexibility to migrate to the cloud on their own terms and with
their existing Mitel devices.”
“Recent research shows 92% of mid-to-large enterprises are
considering hybrid deployments, and for good reason,” said David
Petts, chief sales officer at Mitel*. “In today's rapidly changing
workplace, staying connected through video, chat, or voice is more
important than ever and a vital part of business continuity
planning. Mitel’s strategic partnership with Zoom has produced an
offering that provides seamless access to these solutions while
enabling compliance and security control in the most demanding use
cases, industries, and geographies. With the integration of Zoom’s
AI Companion, it’s a winning combination for organizations looking
for an elevated collaboration experience that truly fits their
overall communication needs.”
Deliver AI-first collaboration tools built for modern
work
With the Zoom Workplace app fully integrated with secure Mitel
telephony and devices, users can call, meet, and chat from a single
solution, including the ability to escalate from a Mitel-powered
call directly into a Zoom meeting. Additionally, users can
brainstorm ideas, develop content, and kickstart project plans with
Zoom Docs, Zoom Whiteboard, Zoom Clips, and more. AI Companion is
woven throughout to help users jumpstart content creation, stay
focused, prioritize what’s important, and get answers fast.
Maintain control and maximize current
investments
With the joint hybrid solution, users can maintain unmatched
control over mission-critical activities like release schedules,
configurations, updates, system changes, and telephony while
leveraging existing investments without isolation. For
organizations in specialized industries like healthcare,
hospitality, government, and financial services, this means having
the ability to continue to leverage existing Mitel-certified
vertical integrations along with specialized devices and workflows
for frontline workers.
Blend on-prem and cloud capabilities to suit an
organization’s unique requirements
The hybrid architecture from Zoom and Mitel provides users with a
simple approach to blending on-prem with the right mix of private
and public cloud on their terms to meet their unique needs. It
gives organizations the flexibility, tools, and resilience they
need to future-proof their current systems while maintaining
reliability throughout the process. Additionally, using the Zoom
Workplace app, users will have access to a consistent modern user
experience every step of the way. If UCaaS is ultimately their
preferred deployment model, they can easily bring their certified
Mitel devices with them.
Jim Lundy, Founder & CEO of Aragon Research, confirms that
“The Mitel-Zoom partnership is a game changer, offering businesses
a path to hybrid communications with AI collaboration and
communications capabilities."
The joint solution is now available to customers worldwide.
Further advanced capabilities are underway as part of the
multi-phase partnership plan. For more information about the joint
