Recently we wrote about<\/a> how telecom resellers are becoming MSPs, providing UCaaS solutions on their own, without the need to rely on an OTT provider such as RingCentral or 8×8.<\/p>\n

In our discussions with MSPs making the switch from reselling a hardware solution like Toshiba to providing service themselves, they tell us how happy they are. They are making great margins and have much more control over their destiny.<\/p>\n

We just had an in-person interview with David L. Puckett, Director of Business Development<\/span><\/span> at Yeastar<\/a> and the opportunity just grew in our minds as we spoke.<\/p>\n

The company has 100 engineers and recently devoted themselves to taking all their hardware smarts and converting it to software. The result is the Yeastar Cloud PBX which was launched<\/a> a few months back at ITEXPO<\/a>. It’s a monster, based on the Yeastar Management Plane or YMP, supporting 100 PBX instances, 2,000 users, and 500 concurrent calls. Each PBX can have a maximum of 500 users.<\/p>\n
