ALE and Nuvola drive investment in the UK

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise redefines its UK market proposition in partnership with leading UK distributor Nuvola Distribution.

Paris, France, October 12th, 2021- Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, networking, and cloud solutions tailored to customers’ industries, has enhanced its offering in the UK through increased investment from partner Nuvola Distribution.

Nuvola, a technology and services distributor, is the only Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise distributor in the UK to supply its complete communications and networking solutions portfolio. Throughout 2021, Nuvola has continued to increase its investment in Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products, delivering two new solutions in the past six months: Rainbow Office and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS).

Nuvola’s focus on growth has also led it to expand its Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise offering into Ireland, cementing its commitment to the partnership. The new base opens up new opportunities in the Irish market, which has seen a growing interest in Unified Communication-as-a-Service (UCaaS) solutions, and creates a streamlined route for UK partners to access Europe’s supply chain with ease.

Michael Lloyd, Managing Director at Nuvola Distribution, said: “This is an exciting time for the Nuvola Distribution and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise partnership as we seek to deliver on our vision of providing complete and comprehensive technology solutions for our reseller partners. With the expansion into Ireland now creating a seamless supply chain for our Irish partners trading with Europe, the launch of Rainbow Office and NaaS, our offering to the UK and Irish market has never been stronger.”

As the leading distributor for Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise in the UK, Nuvola differentiates itself from other distributors in the industry with a strong focus on consultancy and on-site services, employing over 15 engineers who provide dedicated support to its UK customer base. Nuvola secured the first Rainbow Office customer globally, following the launch of the UCaaS solution powered by Ring Central earlier this year.

Heather Zhang, UK and Ireland Country Business Leader at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, said: “We are delighted to see our partnership with Nuvola Distribution going from strength to strength in the UK. Their unique approach to delivering solutions means our customers benefit from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products delivered alongside highly attentive engineering and technical support.”
