NETWORKS, SELECTS BROADSOFT FOR NATIONWIDE DEPLOYMENT OF ENHANCED
TELEPHONY SERVICES
BroadSoft's Award-Winning BroadWorks™ Service Delivery System
Enables Exario to Rapidly Deliver Next Generation Voice Services
to Enterprise Market
ATLANTA, GA, June 6, 2001 — BroadSoft, Inc., the
leading provider of service delivery systems for enhanced telephony
services, and Exario Networks, Inc., a leading provider of outsourced
IP services, today announced that Exario has selected BroadSoft's
flagship product, BroadWorks™, to deliver enhanced telephony
services to the enterprise market. Currently in trials with a
number of companies, Exario will begin the commercial deployment
of BroadWorks-based services by the end of the second quarter
this year.
"We selected BroadSoft after piloting with a number of vendors
as it became apparent that BroadSoft was farthest along in regard
to Class 5 features, stability and scalability," said Thomas Mizzone,
CEO and founder of Exario Networks. "The sophisticated BroadWorks
platform helps Exario further our corporate objective of delivering
converged voice and data virtual private networking solutions
to the enterprise market. We view our relationship with BroadSoft
as a key component of our next-generation network strategy."
Exario is the first managed IP services provider dedicated to
perfecting the VPN option for companies seeking alternatives to
self managed frame relay and hardware-based Internet VPN solutions.
Exario's unique network-based VPN approach utilizes IP technology
to mask the complexity of traditional wide area networks while
maintaining the same level of network security. Exario's edge-based
IP intelligence reduces the need for expensive customer premise
equipment, minimizes customer IT support costs, and positions
VPN customers to leverage a host of next-generation IP services.
The BroadWorks product has become the foundational platform for
Exario's voice enabled VPN and IP CENTREX solutions.
By employing advanced IP technology and voice and data convergence,
Exario positions customers to take advantage of outsourced IP
services including secure IP routing, managed firewalls, data
CoS/QoS, and hosted PBX. With the deployment of BroadWorks, Exario
will add an extensive set of web-enabled enhanced telephony services
to its proprietary web-based network management platform including
conferencing, call forwarding, voice mail, follow-me-anywhere
calling, and auto attendant. BroadWorks will be deployed in conjunction
with Exario's existing Class 4 IP tandem nationwide network.
"While many service providers are talking about offering differentiated
telephony services, Exario is leading the pack with the deployment
of innovative, cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions," said Michael
Tessler, founder, president and CEO of BroadSoft. "BroadSoft's
service delivery system enhances Exario's IP VPN solutions, and
allows Exario to further expand its voice offerings to the enterprise
market."
BroadSoft was the first to announce a comprehensive enhanced service
delivery system of packet-based business services. Its flagship
product, BroadWorks, enables service providers to rapidly enter
new markets and immediately generate new revenues with easy-to-use,
differentiated local exchange services over packet-based networks
as well as the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN).
BroadWorks includes a rich set of business options such as call
waiting, voice mail, conferencing, auto-attendant and follow-me-anywhere
services, and can interoperate with other network elements and
business applications for a comprehensive set of integrated services
without lengthy and expensive proprietary development.
BroadSoft will be showing a live demonstration of BroadWorks in
their booth (#4960) at the Supercomm show in the Georgia World
Congress Center, June 5-7th, Atlanta, GA.
