LoopUp said it has a “highly differentiated set of assets” to drive market share and material medium-term business growth in the direct routing market, adding that it has a “running start as an existing player and early mover into the cloud voice market”.
In a statement, LoopUp’s co-chief executives Steve Flavell and Michael Hughes commented: "Great communications have always been at the heart of successful organisations, now more so than ever.

We believe we're fantastically placed to win market share in this significant landscape-changing opportunity.
“We're very excited to announce this major extension to LoopUp - now a premium cloud solution for business-critical external communications, encompassing cloud voice for Microsoft Teams and premium remote meetings", they added.
