ST. LOUIS — Sept. 26, 2017 — Alianza Inc., the cloud voice platform company, announced today that Midwest Energy & Communications (MEC) has selected Alianza’s Cloud Voice Platform for its next-gen FTTH VoIP solution. With Alianza’s solution, MEC is delivering a better overall user experience to its members while simplifying voice management and reducing its overall total cost of ownership for VoIP.
“Our mission is to deliver first-in-class innovations and solutions to rural communities to enrich small-town life,” commented Candy Riem, Vice President of Marketing and Member Solutions at MEC. “Alianza is a true phone services partner in helping us fulfill that promise to our members.”
