Business users in East and Central Africa will now have access to cloud-based communication services, with ICT solutions provider Tips Hosting launching its CloudLIFE services in the region.

The service suite features instant messaging and presence, shared and private calendars, address books and file storage, email and social media integration. These features are accessible on multiple devices such as Android phones/tablets and iPhones/iPads, as well as PCs and Macs, allowing them to be accessed from any location.

The solution allows users to have a single address for email and instant messaging as opposed to having to use disparate solutions, each with their own interface and address.

“This development is very exciting for SMBs because it shows how the Cloud enables them to provision and manage their own communication and collaboration services easily” said Ruth Kang’ong’oi, Editor of CIO East Africa.

Tips Hosting’s CloudLIFE service is powered by the CommuniGate Systems Unified Communications Hosting Platform.
