Continuant has announced that the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) has selected its Texas-based subsidiary, Continuant Tech, as a provider of a wide range of communications solutions through a cooperative procurement contract.
State and local governments, as well as K-12 and higher education systems, can work with Continuant for their communications needs. Continuant, a provider of Microsoft Calling and Meeting Room solutions, also maintains and supports Cisco, Avaya, Nortel and Siemens/Unify phone systems.
Bruce Shelby, chief sales officer and Continuant co-founder, said the eight-year contract will benefit both government entities and educational institutions that are looking for "next-generation solutions" to stay connected to their customers.
"The benefit we bring to the customers of the Texas DIR is that Continuant has a proven track record as well as expertise in all aspects of communication — from telephony to unified communications and contact centers, cloud-based collaboration, and audio-video solutions," Shelby said.
"With 25 years' experience in this ever-changing marketplace, we look forward to helping Texas DIR customers keep 'confidently connected' to their customers and members," Shelby said.
Continuant, which earned Microsoft's award for 2020 Partner of the Year for Teams Calling and Meetings, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and employs more than 350 people nationwide with headquarters in Tacoma, Wash.
