This same synergy is embodied in Cantata Technology,” said Marc Zionts, CEO of Cantata Technology. “Our vision is to serve as the foundation for anytime, anywhere IP-based communications applications. While our company name and branding have changed, our customers and partners can be assured that we will continue to deliver the same reliable technology, service, and support that they’ve known us for over the years.” Cantata Technology is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts, with a strong global presence, including offices in Belgium, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Canada, and Japan and a worldwide network of distributors, systems integrators, and resellers.
