1/28/2013- Votacall Hosted VoIP- Boston, Massachusetts- Mobility is critical when creating a Hosted VoIP platform for customers. One of the main reasons customers switch from a premise-base solution into a Hosted VoIP one is the mobility offerings and improvements. In order for a provider to have a mobile platform, they must build partnerships with industry leaders to gain the strongest products possible. For instance, Votacall and other providers team up with BroadSoft to implement their software and services into the platform. Its not a random partnership, BroadSoft is an industry leader and one of the first innovators with Hosted VoIP.
BroadSoft has received numerous awards for their products and offerings. Most recently, they received the Mobility Tech Zone 2012 LTE Visionary Award. The award is sponsored by TMC, a global integrated media company, and CrossFire Media, an integrated marketing company with a focus in the technology sector. The award was specifically awarded to BroadSoft for their BroadWorks Application Server. According to the BroadSoft website, the BroadWorks application "offers a comprehensive portfolio of business and consumer communications applications and value added applications from a common network platform. BroadWorks delivers communication solutions that integrate video, fax, voice and email communications for businesses and consumers worldwide." All of these offerings are highlighted in Hosted VoIP providers platforms.
The ability to team up with such a successful company gives any provider an immediate advantage over competition. By adding the software services to their platform, providers are able to improve the mobility they can offer to users. At Votacall, they combine their own specific platform offerings with the BroadSoft applications and generate one of the strongest Hosted VoIP platforms on the market. They already have the reliable infrastructure built into the platform, leaving them the ability to add mobility through their partners product additions. They utilize many other partnerships with companies such as LifeSize, Polycom and Comcast to constantly improve their offerings to customers.
There are many companies who all offer different products and services. For this reason, providers try and partner with many companies to try and diversify their product/services line. With BroadSoft's mobile and productive applications, along with LifeSize's + Polycom's Unified Communications and Video Conferencing capabilities gives Votacall (for example) a platform that will please customers. They will receive a mobile platform that has time saving abilities through unified communications. When you combine all this with the reliable and redundant disaster prevention and recovery system, the customer is implementing a system that offers far more than a premise-based phone system.
The positives and platforms spoken about above are possible through the industry partnerships and the flexibility a Hosted VoIP system offers. The benefits cannot be matched by a premise-based system and the product keeps continuing to improve with the innovations of many companies such as BroadSoft. They have been recognized with rewards and have given their partners the ability to utilize their applications and software to become some of the most flexible, mobile and reliable Hosted VoIP providers in the industry.
