TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Phonism by Inlayer, a leader in automated device management, has achieved exponential growth during the second half of the year, making it a monumental year for the company.

This remarkable growth is underscored by Phonism’s impressive Year-over-Year (YoY) revenue increase of 313%. With over 3x growth momentum, Phonism is positioned for continued success, driven by its robust product offerings and the growing demand for automated device management solutions. Furthermore, Phonism’s Net Revenue Retention (NRR) is at 107%, showcasing impressive customer retention and growth from existing accounts. Since the beginning of the year, Phonism has expanded its device support by over 16%, empowering more businesses to benefit from its platform.

Phonism’s partner first strategy is thriving and currently represents 100% of our business revenue. These partnerships are crucial, as they extend Phonism’s reach globally and enable seamless reselling and integration into new markets. Notable strategic partners such as CallTower, SOTEL Systems, Cisco, Zoom, Teledynamics, and Alianza have driven this growth, with customers benefiting from integrations that support a variety of devices and enable simplified migrations. These alliances have enabled Phonism to expand its market reach and enhance its service offerings. By working closely with these key partners, Phonism continues to position itself as a leader in automated device management, fostering innovation and delivering a powerful solution that meets the evolving needs of customers worldwide.

Additionally, the launch of Phonism’s newly rebranded website, coupled with increased marketing efforts, has contributed to this surge. With the production of new videos, ebooks, and blog posts, Phonism has not only improved its digital presence but also provided valuable resources to current and prospective customers.

“As we continue to evolve and expand our offerings, these milestones underscore the increasing demand for automated device management,” said Greg DiFraia, CEO of Phonism. “With hundreds of millions of devices migrating to the cloud, Phonism is essential in facilitating this transformation. Our remarkable 313% year-over-year revenue growth and strong 107% NRR highlight our platform’s success in simplifying complexity and enhancing efficiency, positioning us for exponential growth in the future.”

The cloud migration trend continues to accelerate, with businesses increasingly adopting cloud-based solutions to improve efficiency and scalability. Experts predict that by 2030, more than 75% of all companies will be using UCaaS platforms for their calling, meeting, and messaging needs. This surge is driven by the need for flexible, scalable infrastructure, and Phonism plays a key role in helping businesses smoothly transition their devices to cloud environments. Moreover, key partnerships with major players like Zoom and Cisco have propelled Phonism’s growth. These collaborations allow customers to integrate their existing devices with popular platforms, making cloud migrations easier and more cost-effective.

The recent launch of Phonism’s Ring Ready™ feature is reshaping the deployment process. It ensures devices are delivered pre-configured, reducing setup time and eliminating errors, enabling faster deployments.

“Our focus is on delivering an exceptional customer experience while advancing our platform for efficiency,” said Steve Lazaridis, Founder & CTO of Phonism. “The 16% expansion in supported devices reflects our team’s commitment to innovation, allowing our platform to scale with the growing demand for device migrations. By enhancing automation and protocols, we empower customers to manage a multitude of devices with confidence, regardless of their infrastructure.”

Looking to the future, Phonism plans to build on this momentum by exploring new markets and expanding its service capabilities to include additional device types, increase device compatibility, and continue to deliver unparalleled value to its customers through automation, security, and device management innovations.

January 12, 2025

PARIS, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — It is with deep sadness that iM Global Partner (iMGP) announces the passing, one month ago, of our dear friend and colleague, Philippe Uzan.

Philippe’s exceptional career in asset management spanned more than 30 years and is marked by remarkable achievements in the organizations for which he worked and deep contributions to the industry as a whole. His passing is a tremendous loss to all who knew and worked with him.

Philippe joined iM Global Partner in February 2020 as Deputy CEO and CIO Global Asset Management, responsible for overseeing our financial strategies and products and designing value-added investment solutions for our clients across Europe and the United States.

His expertise spanned all asset classes, and he had a deep understanding of markets and their impact on investors and their investment needs. He was an eloquent man who contributed a number of papers and articles to the media, always with the intention of educating and making financial concepts more relatable. He has left an indelible mark on our organization and on the broader industry.

Prior to joining iM Global Partner, Philippe was latterly Chief Investment Officer at Edmond De Rothschild Asset Management, where he worked for 11 years and where he led the portfolio management teams, optimizing the synergies between analysis and portfolio management. He previously spent three years as Research and Global Asset Allocation Director, where he developed the portfolio management and research teams and modernized investment processes and the product range.

Philippe began his career as an Equity Derivatives Trader at Société Générale and held roles at AGF Asset Management (now part of Allianz Global Investors) and Natixis AM.

Throughout his career, Philippe’s outstanding intelligence, humility, and collaborative spirit earned him the respect and admiration of his peers.

Philippe Couvrecelle, Founder and CEO of iM Global Partner, expressed his heartfelt condolences: “It was with infinite sadness and pain that I learned of Philippe’s passing from a devastating illness. I had known Philippe closely for almost 20 years, as we worked together for Natixis, Edmond de Rothschild and iMGP. I pay immense tribute to his humanity, his sense of humor, his brilliant intelligence and his presence, which I will deeply miss. We had shared so much and still had so much to do together. In his memory, we will continue our path forward with strength, success and intensity, always preserving our values and our company culture to which he was so attached.

We will all miss Philippe enormously at iM Global Partner. He will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his warmth, generosity, kindness and his unwavering dedication to his colleagues and community. Our thoughts are with his wife and three children, his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.”
