net2phone’s UCaaS and Versature revenues combined in the three months ended July 31, 2018, aggregated to over $5 million.  Adding Versature’s revenues to net2phone’s strong organic growth would have boosted net2phone’s fourth quarter fiscal 2018 UCaaS generated revenue by approximately 65% over the year-ago quarter.

“We continue to be very pleased by the trajectory of net2phone’s business as it expands internationally,” said Shmuel Jonas, CEO of IDT Corporation.  “We are looking forward to working with the Versature team to continue their outstanding service to Canadian businesses while leveraging their expertise throughout our global operations.”
