Update to key facts about this organization

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed (include citations):

Change the first section to:

LoopUp is a global provider of cloud communications and collaboration solutions for enterprises. Done.

LoopUp’s core product is cloud telephony for Microsoft Teams as an end-to-end managed service. Other solutions offered by LoopUp include a SaaS platform for remote meetings and operator-managed large online meetings. ^[1] Done.

In September 2021 the company announced the acquisition of SyncRTC, parent company of hybrid collaboration SaaS technology platform mashme.io. ^[2] Done.This was added to the History section. Crunchbase is a deprecated source, so I used this one instead.

Co-CEOs Steve Flavell and Michael Hughes founded LoopUp in 2003 in San Francisco and London. ^[3] Done. The source provided is deadlinked, so I used this one.

In 2016, LoopUp was listed on the AIM market (LON: LOOP). ^[4] Done. This was added to the History section.

LoopUp is headquartered in London, UK. Other offices include Barbados, Berlin, Boston, Hong Kong, Madrid, Malmo, San Francisco and Sydney. ^[5] Done. Heartmusic678 (talk) 12:35, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why it should be changed:

The text in the first section is now factually inaccurate. This is because previous edits have been reverted on the basis that they were promotional and/or made by people with a potential COI. We would like someone to revise this section so that it is up-to-date and factually accurate! (note that I have a COI)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Now that Heartmusic678 has kindly made the requested changes to improve the accuracy of this article, could someone remove the template messages from the top of the article please! I am reluctant to make the change because I have a COI. Thank you. RobJardine (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Perryprog: You added the tags. What say you about this request? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:39, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not. It's still unabashedly promotional, and all three tags still apply. Perryprog (talk) 20:34, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Closing this request as answered, per above. Z1720 (talk) 01:00, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
