Award-Winning Fonality System Scores Big in Industry Review
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Fonality announced today that its award-winning PBXtra(R) business
phone system came out with top honors in a round-up of SMB VoIP
products in this week's Infoworld. PBXtra, a low-cost and easy-to-use
business phone system for small and medium-sized businesses, beat out
Microsoft Response Point and four other industry competitors with "a
low-cost combination of usability, unlimited extensions, good Outlook
integration, and slick reporting."

   The review praised PBXtra as "value-laden" and credited its
scalability and user-friendly interface with making it easy to
install, use and maintain. Fonality's fanatical focus on delivering
the right balance of rich, accessible functionality at affordable
price points has made it the IP-PBX of choice for growing businesses.
More than 5,000 companies in over 100 countries are now using
Fonality's business phone systems.

   "Time is money and people often overlook ease of use until after
they have made their phone system purchase. This can end up being an
expensive mistake," said Fonality CEO Chris Lyman. "We work very hard
to deliver a phone system that is feature-rich but installs without
the complexities of open heart surgery. We're proud that Infoworld has
recognized this one-two combo."

   Fonality business phone systems are designed for modern workplaces
and allow mobile employees to participate on the PBX wherever they
work, be it in the office, at home, on the road, or on a mobile
device. PBXtra supports both VoIP calling and traditional phone lines,
allowing a smooth transition for businesses upgrading their calling
services. Its patented Hybrid-Hosted(R) architecture allows employee
identity to be maintained as employees travel between work, home, and
hotel. PBXtra, when paired with the award-winning HUD(R) presence
software, provides a unified view of chat, email, and calling for all
fixed and mobile workers.
