Press Release Summary: \"One-Stop\" Makes VoIP Easy and Affordable for Small and Mid-Sized Companies and Organizations
Press Release Body: Appia Communications Inc., a leading provider of managed IT and telecommunications services, today announced \"One-Stop\", which provides voice services and Internet access for one price per month and no upfront charges. The program is specifically designed for small and mid-sized companies and organizations.
\"The initial capital outlay for equipment and set-up for any telephony soution, whether VoIP or traditional, is a barrier for many organizations,\" said Victor von Schlegell, Appia\'s president. \"One-Stop eliminiates this barrier, and demonstrates our continued focus on delivering enterprise-class business communications services at small-business prices.\"
Appia\'s One-Stop program:
* Provides access to the latest business-class VoIP technology * Includes telephone and network equipment and support, along with telephone services and Internet access * Provides an immediate return on investment * Is an operating expense, rather than a lease
For example, the cost of One-Stop for a 20 person office would average a little over $60 per user per month, which includes a Cisco 7941 phone, 500 minutes of local and long distance calling, voicemail, and T-1 access to the Internet. The price also includes an all-Cisco equipment refresh, with a new router, a power-over-Ethernet switch, and an Adaptive Security Appliance. After taxes, the cost is likely to be much lower, since the program would be treated as an operating expense.
\"The use of VoIP is producing significant benefits for large organizations,\" continued von Schlegell. \"One-Stop makes it possible for smaller organizations to reap those same benefits, which is a step toward leveling the playing field.\"
