PARIS, FRANCE -- (Marketwire)
05/19/10
Mitel® (NASDAQ: MITL), a trusted provider of unified communications software solutions, today announced it is an official partner of TV Festival de Cannes taking place May 12 - 23, 2010.

Participating in such an event requires very high standards: the solutions employed needs to be of exceptional quality and reliability and they need to be easy to install and use. Our offer meets these criteria," said Lionel Hovsepian, European sales director, Mitel.
