With a planned collection of cloud software applications, products and services scheduled to be added during the next 12 months and an increasing number of domestic and global service providers joining the intY CASCADE platform, this is an exciting time of expansion for us and all our partners.”

Mark Herbert, Business Development Director and Founder of intY said: “intY now has the ability to execute its global plans to revolutionize the way Cloud Services are aggregated and delivered through service provider channels to deliver proven success in customer revenue uplift, retention and satisfaction.
