In addition to bringing a large customer base in Canada, Easy Office also provides award-winning cloud-based business phone services, including Hosted PBX (News - Alert) feature set, call center services and its own dealer program so clients can deliver their own enterprise-grade Hosted PBX to their customers. The company has a continent-wide network covering North America.

The Easy Office Phone (News - Alert) Managed Internet is designed with an architecture to deliver a range of services with business security for voice and data applications with a nationwide private network layer to protect the information and simplify file sharing. The company also delivers a business continuity platform with multiple Internet paths and failover options that boost redundancy.

Easy Office will become part of the Jive Canada team, and it will receive support as needed from the Canadian and US operations.  Jive will also onboard the 200 partners that are part of Easy Office, which include tens of thousands of hosted seats in North America covering retail, education, government, financial and not-for-profit segments.

“It’s business as usual for us,” said Adam Simpson, CEO of Easy Office Phone. “Our customers across North America can still expect the same superior service, rely on the same responsive support team, and use the same user-friendly portal as before. They’ll also have the added resources Jive brings to the table.”
