<p>Unison CEO Manlio Carrelli: Ready to disrupt the collaboration app market?</p><p>Check some of our content archives and you may discover that Intermedia -- the hosted Exchange company -- once had a sister business/solution called Unison, designed for unified communications. Fast forward to the present, and some Intermedia veterans have gone off on their own to re-launch Unison as a cloud-based collaboration app provider.</p><p>The new Unison is completely unrelated to the previous incarnation -- except for some of the talent and the company name. The 30-person business has launched a collaboration tool that allows remote teams to work together. Among the key players behind the project: Chairman Michael Choupak, formerly founder of Intermedia. CEO Manlio Carrelli, formerly CMO at Intermedia. CMO Rurik Bradbury, formerly a marketing lead at Intermedia. Engineering VP Alex Hoffman, fomerly at QuickOffice, a top selling iPad app maker that Google acquired. Operations VP Vladimir Strigun, an Intel and Sun veteran. Product Manager Devidas Desai, a Thomson Reuters and Deloitte Consulting veteran.</p><p>So what is the new Unison up to?

Customers can create a room for each team, project, etc.</p><p><a href="http://talkincloud.com/cloud-channel-partner-programs/intermedia-veterans-launch-unison-group-collaboration-app-seeks-partn">Keep reading...</a></p>
