vice president of products for BroadSoft. "For wireless service
providers, Assistant - Mobile enhances their BroadWorks Mobile PBX
offering by giving enterprise users the ability to manage their
VoIP features, view call logs and access directories from their
handsets. With the Nokia Eseries integration, this new solution
addresses a real telecommunications need identified by enterprises."
