The telecommunications sales and service team will continue to operate under the existing name – Sceptre Communications a division of CIP Office Technology.

Dave Stosky said – "The unified communications industry is quickly moving towards hosted cloud platforms and subscription pricing models. Combining the strengths of Sceptre and CIP will benefit for both of our customer bases by leading this change."
