2018 again, reaffirmed the notion of Centile’s plans for European leadership. Last year, revenue grew at a rate of 15 percent, with 70 percent recurring.
Centile also paired up with the fifth largest telecom provider in France, Euro-Information Telecom. It is the largest full mobile virtual network operator on the three largest mobile networks in France: Orange, SFR, and Bouygues Telecom. Its industrial solution will allow the operator to deliver Full Fixed Mobile Convergence to all French service providers.
Another major achievement for the UC leader was with Finnish telecom operator Elisa, which reached over 250,000 end users with major projects in the public sector. Centile also secured new projects adding Hubone, the French airport telecom operator to its roster. This was a large tender secured in collaboration with system integrator ATOS against both Ericsson and Broadsoft.
Its mobile app ‘Mobiis’ also experienced growth - reaching over 20 white labels for service providers on iOS and Android.
Within Reach strengthens international management
This all leads us to today, where Centile's Managing Director Bertrand Pourcelot has been appointed to Head of International Sales and Marketing for Within Reach. Last year, Centile announced its acquisition by private equity investor Waterland. The investors own Voiceworks, Swyx, and Centile. The trio sits under the company name 'Within Reach.'
Prior to purchase – Centile was already an international player - with over 100 service providers on its platform for fixed-line operators. Last year, the telecom vendor reached more than 650,000 users.
The man leading the charge - Bertrand Pourcelot, who has been at the centre of Centile’s business for over ten years. Pourcelot was recently appointed Head of International Sales & Marketing of Within Reach. He is still Centile’s Managing Director and has a vast knowledge of mission-critical software as well as communications. In total, Pourcelot brings more than 20 years of industry experience his new role.
