Broadsoft announced the acquisition of competing company Sylantro Systems. In a press release shortly before the New Year, Broadsoft states:

“Sylantro has been a strong competitor of BroadSoft for 10 years. This acquisition further advances our market and innovative leadership position.”

Broadsoft provides VoIP application software, including the “flagship” BroadWorks platform. Marketing as Carrier Grade, Broadsoft provides a license based VoIP platform for many telecommunication carriers; with a list available at their website (broadsoft.com). Sylantro Systems also provides VoIP software to many carriers including AT&T and Quest.

Payment terms and personnel were not discussed in the release; although Broadsoft did announce that it intends to support the Sylantro platform through direct sales and authorized partners.
