This week, unified communications and collaboration solutions provider NextUC made headlines when it announced achieving record growth in web meetings and video conferencing last month.

Also this week, Cisco (News - Alert) and Intelbras announced they are partnering to bring UC solutions to Brazil.

According to company officials, this move is in response to the need for easier adoption of IP among SMBs in Brazil and will offer mobility options as well as voicemail, auto attendant options, call routing and VoIP.

Specifically, the deal will mean Intelbras can sell the Cisco Business Edition 3000 (BE3000) under the CIP60300 brand beginning in April.
