A recent Yankee Group survey of VoIP adoption in contact centers indicates that more than 50% of agent positions in North America will be VoIP-based by 2008. In line with this growth trend, Spanlink is establishing a footprint in the enterprise IP Communications space as more organizations are realizing the benefits of the technology and how it can increase their customer service and benefit their bottom line. Leveraging VoIP technology to improve contact center operations and communications, for example, enables organizations to handle calls quickly, consistently and efficiently, regardless of where a customer call is routed.

Spanlink provided an IP Communications solution to get Adams and Reese LLP up and running in a Baton Rouge location when their New Orleans operation was not accessible following Hurricane Katrina.

“We contacted Spanlink the day after Hurricane Katrina to start the recovery process. Spanlink shipped the infrastructure to our Baton Rouge location overnight and restored our systems immediately. This allowed our firm to be productive and out in front of the competition,” said David Erwin, chief information officer of Adams and Reese LLP.

“Seamless service is always our main priority, and VoIP technology was the next logical step in achieving this,” said TR Goering, senior vice president, operations and technology, INTRUST BANK. “Spanlink’s results-oriented IP communications solutions will enable us to establish consistent and reliable communication for optimal service.”

“Our vision for the IP Communications project was to establish a consistent way to reach Molina. This was accomplished by aligning multiple sites and networks into one unified network. We had a very aggressive timeline to work with, but there was a great deal to be gained by integrating our voice and data communications functions,” said Larry Santucci, director of enterprise services at Molina Healthcare. “We are grateful to have found in Spanlink a partner that was able to translate that vision into a strong technical solution that addresses our business goals, which are consistent service, streamlined costs and a strong foundation for future growth. Converging voice and data onto a single network allows us to deploy applications across the enterprise now and in the future, to take advantage of advanced technologies to meet Molina’s business needs. As time goes by, this decision will enable us to do much, much more over our own infrastructure.”

The contracts are the latest in a significant growth period for Spanlink, which saw its sales rise to $31 million in 2004 from $19 million in 2003. As the enterprise IP Communications market continues to expand, Spanlink expects 50% growth in 2005.

“Spanlink is helping organizations realize the transforming benefits of VoIP and the new opportunities it provides to improve business,” said Brett Shockley, Spanlink chief executive officer. “We’re seeing growing demand for IP Communications solutions because they directly address our customers’ needs - providing efficient and reliable service in smarter ways.”

A simplified, streamlined solution, the Allied Telesyn VoIP Bundles are all-inclusive end-to-end kits that bypass the need for a PBX or complicated server set-up. The draw on Peer-to-Peer- and SIP-based technology creates a distributed, fully featured VoIP system that is resident within the phone handsets themselves.

A plug-and-play solution, Allied Telesyn’s VoIP Bundles have no barriers to entry for VARs. They require no expensive or time-intensive certification and are easy to install and support. The solution offers high margins and a clear differentiation because, as an end-to-end bundled system, it is unique in the industry. Resellers can also build on the solution to offer incremental revenue via services and pull-through of Allied’s complete line of voice, video and data options designed for SMBs/SMEs.

The VoIP Bundle solution includes all the features of a more expensive PBX solution for approximately half the price, including: Auto-Attendant (Multi-Language), Voicemail, Voice-Conferencing, 3-way Calling, Caller ID, E-mail Notifications, Music-on-Hold, Intercom, Paging, and Web Administration.

LAS VEGAS –Nov. 14, 2005–
Sphericall IP PBX With MASERGY’s SIP-Enabled inCONTROL Voice Service Reduces Telephony Hardware and Infrastructure Overhead in the Enterprise

Sphere Communications (www.spherecom.com) announced today an alliance with Masergy Communications, Inc. (www.masergy.com) and the certification of SIP trunking between the award-winning Sphericall IP PBX and MASERGY’s inCONTROL Voice service.

SIP trunking, from the premise-based Sphericall IP PBX via MASERGY’s inCONTROL Voice service, reduces the need for both PSTN media gateways and narrow-band voice circuits in the enterprise. Businesses deploying new VoIP telephony solutions realize the benefits of IP communications inside their organization but have been forced to convert to traditional narrow-band public switch telephone network (PSTN) connections when communicating outside their business.

“Now, enterprises will reap the benefits of SIP Trunking capabilities,” said Don McCracken, Voice Channel Director at MASERGY. “Simplified management and lower costs are just the starting point — this represents a major step toward the all-IP infrastructure for business.”

By utilizing SIP trunking, businesses can now begin to eliminate IP-to-PSTN conversion from the enterprise; simplifying IP voice deployments, and lowering costs. The move to SIP trunking will position businesses to leverage rich, all-IP enhanced communications between organizations, such as across their supply chain, with business partners, and customers.

Sphere’s Sphericall IP PBX, an innovative enterprise business communications platform for mid-sized and large organizations, provides full PBX functionality plus advanced IP communications capabilities deployed as an enterprise-class business software application.

“From a technology perspective, it has simply become illogical to convert IP telephony back to traditional circuit technology and lose all the value of enhanced IP communications,” said Todd Landry, SVP at Sphere Communications. “SIP trunking will preserve this value — it is a key component of our vision for open, all-software enterprise IP communications both inside and outside the borders of the enterprise.”

“Adding voice capability to the Patriot Media network was a significant and critical step for us, and we presented Nortel with an extremely aggressive deployment schedule,” said Jim Holanda, president and general manger, Patriot Media. “To successfully meet each of our deadlines, Nortel brought together an exceptional team of services engineers with a robust cable VoIP solution to ensure Patriot Media’s Digital Phone service delivers the highest standards of quality and reliability for our customers.”

Nortel Global Services provided to Patriot Media under an equipment and services agreement include consulting to minimize capital, operating and engineering costs while maximizing network and service performance. Patriot Media will continue to use Nortel Global Services to lead planning, program management, multi-vendor integration, interoperability testing and on-going deployment of its VoIP solution to promote smooth end-to-end network implementation.

Built on Nortel’s PacketCable-qualified Communication Server (CS) 2000-Compact softswitches, Patriot Media’s Digital Phone service uses a Quality of Service (QOS) standard designed to ensure that voice calls are not affected by other Internet applications that may be running simultaneously. A constant information stream is expected to provide high levels of voice quality and eliminates echoes in the line and voice break-up.

“The SIP functionality of Nortel’s softswitch allows us to efficiently connect to other telephony networks, and to pave the way for future SIP-enabled opportunities such as telephone caller ID and other features through the television display in one integrated experience,” Holanda said.

Nortel provided Patriot Media with IP Unity’s Mereon(TM) 6000 Media Server and Mereon Unified Messaging application to offer customers enhanced voice mail service. Enhanced voice mail provides all of the features of a traditional answering machine with added convenience and flexibility, such as the ability to manage and access messages from anywhere in the world via telephone or the Internet.

“As the competition heats up to capture more subscribers and keep pace with new technologies, cable customers like Patriot Media continue to look at VoIP technologies to give subscribers the best of the Internet with the best of today’s telephone network,” said Dan Mondor, general manager, Cable Network Solutions, Nortel. “One of Nortel’s key strategies in making this possible is integrating products from companies like IP Unity into our service offerings to give providers a complete cable telephony solution that is designed to address their current needs and grow with their businesses.”

Nortel ranked number one in the global markets for service provider softswitches and gateways for the first half of 2005 and the entire year of 2004, according to Synergy Research Group. Nortel’s cable solutions have been selected by leading operators around the world, including Cox Communications, Rogers Cable, Adelphia Communications, Charter Communications, Shaw Cablesystems, Cable One, ish, Kabel BW, TeleCable, Telenet, Dacom, Gansu, Cable Onda, and Intercable.
