BroadSoft and Irish partner, VoIP Solutions,
create Single-Stop IP Telephony Solution for Local Market
Expands Availability and Support of BroadWorks
VoIP Applications Platform in Europe
Stockholm, Sweden, VON Europe Spring, May 17, 2006 - BroadSoft
Inc, the leading provider of VoIP application software, today announced
that VoIP Solutions, the provider of cutting-edge VoIP technology
to the Irish market, has selected the BroadWorks application platform
to complete its voice over IP product portfolio, enabling the delivery
of turnkey telephony solutions to residential and small and medium
sized enterprise customers across Ireland.
VoIP Solutions enables companies to change the way they manage
their voice communications through a range of services, support
programs, training and tools that serve to highlight the operational
and economic advantages of migrating to voice over internet protocol.
VoIP Solutions saw the network-based BroadWorks application platform
as the best way to complement its existing core customer premises
equipment (CPE) offering with advanced call functionality. The combination
of technology offered by the service provider's other partners and
BroadWorks VoIP application platform means that VoIP Solutions now
has the ability to offer a complete, end-to-end VoIP service to
its distributor, ISP and reseller channels and ultimately to residential
and business end-users.
BroadSoft's IMS-compliant BroadWorks provides a comprehensive range
of VoIP applications, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex, mobile PBX,
business trunking and residential broadband services fully integrated
into a single hosted communications platform. BroadWorks is uniquely
capable of providing these applications with the reliability, redundancy,
scalability and regulatory capabilities required to deliver carrier-class
service.
"Our agreement with BroadSoft comes at a time when a large
number of small businesses in Ireland have woken up to VoIP as a
means to streamline communications," said Sean Brady, Managing
Director of VoIP Solutions. "Leveraging this growing realisation
in the market, for the first time we are able to map out a direct
route to a fully comprehensive VoIP package that includes support
for a much greater range of applications than service providers
have traditionally been able to offer. BroadWorks is a highly flexible
platform whose scalability and compatibility with our CPE products
translates to a significant up-sale opportunity in every customer
engagement."
Tying the other elements of VoIP Solutions' technology together
into a comprehensive IP proposition, BroadSoft is the only VoIP
application provider to work with the Irish reseller. While helping
to drive the adoption of voice over IP, the partnership also opens
up tier two and tier three markets for BroadSoft across Ireland.
In addition to BroadSoft's own European customer service centre
in Prague, customers in Ireland will be able to contact VoIP Solutions
directly for technical support and for product demonstrations.
"As a deregulated market, the opportunity for VoIP to grow
into businesses of all sizes is clear. Our agreement with VoIP Solutions
reflects our focus and commitment to the Irish market in meeting
the needs of end-users and in providing an alternative means to
building functionality into the enterprise without incurring the
stress and costs normally associated with a traditional in-house
phone system," commented Howard Lewis, Vice President and General
Manager Europe for BroadSoft. "Having someone on the ground
in Ireland to provide local support at multiple levels is an important
consideration. It also means that resellers are able to turn a prospect
into a sale that much quicker," he continued.
VoIP Solutions is also working with Quintum for VoIP gateway and
switching, AVM for connectivity, Allied Telesyn for network enterprise
products and Asterisk for open source PBX functions to deliver the
BroadWorks VoIP application platform as part of its complete IP
telephony service.
