Presence Networks is a privately held telecommunications company specialising in business quality real-time unified messaging and collaboration software applications. Formed in 2005 by the founder and current CEO, Symon Blomfield, the software behind the company's main product was designed from the outset in 2002 for service providers to securely host multiple customers on a single instance of the application. It can therefore claim to be one of the first to offer a software as a service hosted real-time collaboration service for business. The company was funded in December 2006 with a combination of YFM Capital Fund and private equity.
Presence Networks is based in the UK with an Asia Pac regional office in Hong Kong and with resellers for USA, UK, Australia, Japan and Singapore. It is a Research In Motion Limited application Alliance Partner.
