Parkin Wins Best Privatisation in EMEA for Landmark Dubai IPO

Parkin Company PJSC has been named Best Privatisation in EMEA at the 2025 EMEA Finance Achievement Awards in London, marking another major milestone in the company's rapid rise as a standout player in Dubai's infrastructure sector.

This recognition follows Parkin's recent win as Best MENA IPO by Euromoney, further cementing its position as a model for successful privatisation and a key contributor to Dubai's vision for future-ready infrastructure. Parkin CEO Eng.

Houston Firms Embrace VoIP-Cloud Fusion for Agile Growth

Businesses across Houston are accelerating their transition to Voice over Internet Protocol blended with cloud services, aiming to streamline communication, enhance customer experience and reduce costs. Leading this shift is Phonoscope Communications, a Houston-based provider that leverages its fibre-optic metro network to integrate VoIP and cloud-based services for enterprises across eight counties. With a history dating to 1953—and pioneering two-way videotelephony in schools—Phonoscope now supplies unified voice, video, messaging and data under a single cloud umbrella. Meanwhile, independent IT vendors like Xvand are offering turnkey packages that combine VoIP, video conferencing and instant messaging within cloud platforms. Their clients, such as Wexler Surgical, report that remote access ensures teams stay 'connected from anywhere in the world'. ADVERTISEMENT National providers operating locally are also increasing their presence. GoTo Connect offers over 100 cloud phone features, including AI-assisted call routing and visual dial plan editing, promising enterprise-grade reliability and functionality at mid-market prices. Similarly, Vonage's unified communications platform blends messaging, programmable voice and video with telephony APIs and fraud defence—catering to businesses seeking modular flexibility. Industry analysts identify four core drivers behind this trend: cost-efficiency from internet-based voice calls, enhanced scalability and remote working support, unified team collaboration tools, and built‑in security and compliance. Phonoscope and others highlight that cloud‑native architectures eliminate the need for costly physical PBX installations and simplify provisioning. Healthcare and public sector users are tapping vendors that ensure compliance with regulations such as HIPAA. Uprite IT Services has entered the Houston market with a HIPAA‑verified VoIP‑cloud UC suite and 24/7 support, targeting mid‑sized medical practices. Artificial intelligence is emerging as another vector of innovation. Providers like 8×8 integrate advanced contact‑centre features and generative‑AI analytics within their CPaaS offerings. IntelePeer's SmartAgent platform uses AI to enhance cloud centre workflows, while GoTo Connect embeds sentiment and performance dashboards into their cloud phone system. Though local adoption is accelerating, experts caution that network reliability remains a limitation. Providers emphasise robust service level agreements: GoTo Connect advertises 99.999 percent uptime, while Houston specialist Elevate Technology mandates multi‑site redundancy and 24×7 monitoring. Pricing remains competitive: basic cloud telephony plans start around US $12–20 per user per month, with more advanced, AI‑enabled plans scaling into enterprise tiers above US $30 per user. A mid‑range package combining VoIP, video, auto‑attendant, voicemail‑to‑email and secure compliance typically falls in the US $25–35 range per seat. Customers stress flexibility. Kelley Create, a managed‑service provider, notes that VoIP cloud systems allow rapid scaling, custom call routing, and voicemail‑transcription by email—features increasingly vital for remote, hybrid, or multi‑location teams. Houston's cloud‑VoIP market is shaped both by national brands and strong local players. Phonoscope, leveraging its fibre backbone and cloud‑native approach, collaborates with IT integrators who tailor solutions for law firms, manufacturing sites and schools. National vendors supply advanced APIs, global signalling, and AI tools. For businesses weighing adoption, key considerations include integration with CRM systems, mobile app support, analytics and compliance. As enterprises plan expansions, IT architects assess whether providers can deliver seamless onboarding, unified dashboards, and reliable fail‑over.
