The agreement demonstrates further recognition of Aqura's national capability to deliver customer-focused solutions and further adds to Aqura's track record in Unified Communications technology products and services.

The solutions to be implemented will incorporate the Mitel UCaaS telephony platform, leveraging the capability and expertise of Aqura to bring together the most optimal suite of solutions dep endent upon individual client requirements.

The Bunnings award complements the recent completion of a sizeable upgrade for ATCO where Aqura migrated
