Virtually bridges offices and eliminates barriers to international communications
Saves on international calling costs and offers true local experiences for customers
Supported by 14 top-tier data centers strategically located across the globe
Streamlines deployment of services, billing and management

Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW), a global leader in real-time business, cloud and mobile communications, today introduced World Cloud, a new solution for simplifying backend services and management of cloud communications for multinational businesses. Announced at the company's marquee Mitel Next event in Paris, World Cloud expands Mitel's cloud footprint to more than 40 countries worldwide.

For global companies, high connectivity demands and the strain of supporting disparate systems can be costly and complex. Employees using different collaboration tools on different platforms can also slow productivity. World Cloud gives employees universal access to the same communications capabilities while providing free international extension-to-extension dialing and unlimited user-based country dialing. Local in-bound phone numbers and extensions with local out-bound dialing also localize the customer experience.

World Cloud additionally simplifies IT management with streamlined administration tools and consolidated billing. Fourteen highly-resilient data centers, strategically located across the globe, ensure the highest resiliency, adherence to country-specific data sovereignty requirements and offer advanced security.
