Alianza, Inc., the full stack cloud communications platform for service providers, announced today the closing of its acquisition of CounterPath Corporation, a Vancouver-based provider of softphones, cloud meetings, and mobile UCaaS solutions. The combination with CounterPath strengthens Alianza’s ability to deliver the best end-to-end cloud communications platform for service providers. Service providers are now better positioned to win in the rapidly growing and evolving communications landscape.
Highlights of the combination include:
- Service providers now have access to modern cloud voice, video conferencing, and text messaging for businesses, in addition to cost-effective residential phone services from a single provider.
- Accelerates service providers’ ability to innovate and keep pace with the ever-changing business cloud communications market while seamlessly integrating with back-office and customer experience workflows.
- Unmatched expertise in cloud technology, unified communications, and mobile applications extends R&D capabilities for service providers seeking to elevate their go to market strategies.
“We are on a mission to help service providers grow market presence and revenue with a one-stop-shop to cloud-source all their communications offerings,” said Brian Beutler, CEO, and Founder of Alianza. “By adding CounterPath products, Alianza’s customers are able to future-proof their solutions and compete with vertical market players by adding modern messaging, video conferencing, and collaboration tools.”

"Alianza's acquisition of CounterPath reflects the growing importance of video meetings and team messaging to the enterprise communications and collaboration landscape," says Irwin Lazar, President and Principal Analyst at Metrigy. "Today, more than 60% of companies are now bundling those features into their calling licenses to better support remote work and customer engagement. Alianza's broad offering enables service providers to bundle additional value-add capabilities with their existing network and telephony offerings."
