"We are always looking for ways to achieve operational excellence while driving technological innovation to meet current and future needs of the company," said Bill Scudder, Sonus CIO and Vice President.  "We are leveraging cloud-based solutions for efficiency and time-to-value advantage.  By working with TriCore," Scudder continued, "they assume responsibility for back office technology and support staff while keeping our critical applications running 24x7x365.  With the addition of mission critical email capabilities to their portfolio of services, we have moved another application into the cloud without adding another vendor to our management responsibilities."

"We are extremely happy to further the relationship we have built over the past five years with Sonus," said Robert Forman, President and CEO of TriCore.  "It is great for all stakeholders when we can satisfy a need and then provide additional capabilities as a customer grows and their business demands allow us to grow with them," Forman added.

Today more than ever, organizations are seeking partners to deliver solutions that can meet their demanding requirements in a timely and efficient manner.  By implementing cloud-based solutions companies are well positioned to quickly and easily add acquired companies to their outsourced infrastructure.  Through managed service offerings, companies are focusing on the specific needs of their business and letting service providers be responsible for the nuts-and-bolts of application operations.
