Two industry leaders combine to elevate customers\u2019 <\/em><\/strong>hybrid work and learning transformations.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TAMPA, Fla. \u2013 December 6, 2021<\/strong> \u2013 AVI-SPL, the world\u2019s leading digital enablement solutions provider, today announces its formal agreement to acquire SKC Communications, a Kansas City-based collaboration technology company, bringing together two companies focused on empowering hybrid work and learning experiences to help people work smarter and live better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations of every size and segment are making unified communications and collaboration (UCC) the nucleus of their hybrid work and learning strategies. The combined companies are in an incredible position to lead the way, advance their mission, and accelerate their growth in this dynamic, growing, and transformative space. The acquisition also enhances the combined companies\u2019 ability to give its growing customer base additional serviceable geographies and added capabilities across each of AVI-SPL and SKC core competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SKC\u2019s expertise in cloud voice services and unified communications as a service (UCaaS) adds to AVI-SPL\u2019s comprehensive solutions portfolio that enables customer hybrid work strategies and helps their employees around the world feel more connected and engaged whether remote or in the office. Adding to AVI-SPL\u2019s already mature UCC practices with Cisco, Google, Microsoft, and Zoom, SKC brings a rich legacy of voice communication solutions, including IP telephony and headsets, as well as long-standing partnerships with leading UCaaS providers like Avaya and deep experience helping customers migrate to cloud-based voice technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSKC has built deep relationships across its loyal customer base, offering best-of-breed UCC enterprise enablement. We\u2019re thrilled to partner with such an incredibly talented team and welcome them to AVI-SPL,\u201d said John Zettel, CEO of AVI-SPL. \u201cAs a combined company, we\u2019ll be able to offer more services over more geographies to all of our customers as we look to become the UCC services provider and employer of choice in the U.S. and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SKC Communications, headquartered in Shawnee, Ks., has a strong presence and outstanding reputation in the central and eastern U.S. regions. SKC complements AVI-SPL\u2019s global footprint of 52 offices with added locations and scale throughout the North America market, and reinforces its dedication to customer experience, adding new operations and talented teams within reach of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs part of AVI-SPL, we\u2019ll deliver greater value to customers at a greater scale with a broader and deeper UCC portfolio,\u201d said Tray Vedock, Chairman of SKC. \u201cWe are excited about the future of the company and what it means for our customers as we continue to build on the foundations created by our incredible employees and partners over the last three decades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like AVI-SPL, SKC offers an omnichannel approach to customer experience. From its heritage as a distributor, SKC established an online sales channel that today is the world\u2019s largest direct reseller of Poly headsets. AVI-SPL has a robust e-procurement channel, serving enterprise and higher education customers. Together, customers will have quick and easy access to a more extensive product catalog powered by personalized service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AVI-SPL acquisition of SKC enhances customer experience through deepened UCC voice expertise, stronger U.S. geographic presence, and more robust e-commerce sales. It similarly enhances employee experience by adding new talented teammates and providing new opportunities for all to thrive and grow. AVI-SPL and SKC also are a great cultural fit with a like minded commitment to social responsibility, sustainability, community, and giving back \u2013 values our customers also share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
