“We selected Metaswitch among a broad range of UC&C solution providers for its superior feature set, differentiated mobile-native capabilities and unparalleled performance, all of which enable us to best serve the needs of our enterprise and small business customers,” said Telkomsel Senior Vice President of Enterprise Accounts Dharma Simorangkir.
