Kurmi enhances its platform by adding streamlined, large-scale migration to its centralized UC service management capabilities.
Kurmi Software, the provider of Kurmi Provisioning Suite for unified communications (UC) service management, announced the acquisition of Yarnlab, a leading specialist in automated, data-driven Cisco collaboration migration.
By adding Yarnlab’s advanced, scalable, structured migration planning and execution capabilities, Kurmi is extending its mission-critical tools to help large enterprises and managed service providers navigate increasingly complex, multi-vendor environments.
“The 2020s are defining a massive shift from on-premises to cloud communications, often across multiple vendors,” said Micah Singer, CEO of Kurmi Software. “With Yarnlab’s advanced migration technology integrated into Kurmi’s platform, enterprises and managed service providers have the ultimate flexibility to adapt their UC strategy with greater confidence and control as they take on the often-fraught challenge of migration to, and between, different vendors and technologies.”

Kurmi Provisioning Suite already serves as the centralized platform for managing the entire enterprise communications ecosystem—including UC, contact center (CC), and adjacent solutions such as session border controllers (SBC), compliance recording, and E911. With Yarnlab’s integration, Kurmi now delivers seamless migration as an ongoing operational capability, not just a one-time project.
“Migrations are no longer a once-in-a-generation event,” Singer continued. “They are becoming an ongoing need as enterprises move to the cloud, use more technologies for communication, and look to avoid vendor lock-in. We have enjoyed a close partnership with Yarnlab for more than 6 years and are excited to take this next step together. We can now deliver a single, unified platform at the center of UC management that makes migrations simpler, faster, and more reliable.”
Yarnlab’s solutions help organizations map their existing communications environments, assess readiness for migration, automate critical planning and preparation steps that are often manual, error-prone, and time-consuming, and finally migrate the data between systems. With this acquisition, Kurmi gains not only Yarnlab’s product portfolio but also its engineering and domain expertise, particularly in large-scale transitions to Cisco Webex Calling.
