Vodafone strategic agreement signed

Outsourcery plc (AIM: OUT, "Outsourcery", or "the Group"), a world-leading Cloud Service Provider has signed a strategic partnership with Vodafone Limited ("Vodafone") a subsidiary of Vodafone Group PLC (LSE/Nasdaq:VOD), following a 12 month business integration process.

The strategic partnership will enable Vodafone to resell Outsourcery's Microsoft-based cloud services, including full Enterprise Voice Lync Server, Exchange Server and related professional services.

The strategic relationship has been expanded beyond the original UK focus to include Vodafone's global enterprise customer base, which required further integration work than had been originally envisaged. The agreement of the strategic partnership will now allow both Outsourcery and Vodafone to focus on revenue generating opportunities.

Piers Linney, Co-CEO, Outsourcery, said:

"We are extremely pleased to have completed the integration work and signed this agreement with such a key strategic partner, as further testament to our expertise and capability as a provider of enterprise-grade cloud services.

"Although the original tender response related to the UK market, we are also pleased that the relationship has been extended to include Vodafone's global enterprise customer base."
