The transition to a software model continues at Mitel, and its cloud and mobile business lines contributed to a strong first quarter of 2016, CEO Rich McBee said Thursday.
“Our cloud business set a new quarterly record with revenue of $45.8 million, up 32% year-over-year as we continue to gain market traction globally,” he said in a statement. “Year-over-year growth of 55% in mobile was fueled by new footprint wins as well as the transition of existing footprints into network-wide roll-outs.”
Overall, Mitel posted revenue of $276.8 million for the three months ending March 31, up three per cent from the same quarter last year.
