ALE has a firm and long-standing commitment to its business partners and by adding Rainbow Office, PMS Networks has underlined its commitment to providing customers with tailored offers to accommodate requirements for any market and industry.”

Over the past 2 years, PMS Networks has seen an exponential increase in the uptake of its cloud communications solutions, not only in telephony but also in wired and wireless networking. The company commented that businesses making the move to the cloud would see immediate benefits in terms of working remotely, with reliability, scalability, and cost control.
