CENTENNIAL OF PUERTO RICO CHOOSES BROADSOFT AND
ATREUS
TO DELIVER MOBILE VOIP SERVICES
Service targets SMBs and large enterprises with
BroadWorks Mobile PBX, advanced IP features including Remote Office
and Sim Ring
PHOENIX, AZ, BROADSOFT CONNECTIONS 2006, October 17, 2006
- BroadSoft, Inc., a leading provider of VoIP application software,
and Atreus Systems, the leading supplier of IP provisioning
software, today announced at the BroadSoft Connections 2006 Executive
Users Conference that Centennial
Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: CYCL),
a provider of wireless and wired communications and business solutions
in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the U.S. Virgin Islands
and the United States, has chosen BroadSoft's BroadWorks® VoIP
application platform to offer Mobile PBX telephony services. Centennial
has completed BroadSoft's QuickStart Express program with VoIP provisioning
partner Atreus Systems Inc., in preparation of launching Mobile
PBX services.
Centennial is the first carrier in North America to offer BroadSoft's
Mobile PBX application, an advanced, differentiated solution to
IP PBXs and mobile IN solutions. BroadWorks Mobile PBX delivers
the same feature-rich enterprise functionality to mobile devices
that is available with hosted PBX. BroadWorks features available
through Centennial's Mobile PBX offering will include remote office,
selective call acceptance, call notify, auto attendant and simultaneous
ring-where any call to an office number will automatically ring
any other number specified by the end-user.
Centennial expedited its go-to-market strategy by going through
the QuickStart
Express program with BroadSoft and VoIP provisioning partner
Atreus Systems.
"Fast-growing SMBs and enterprises in Puerto Rico conduct
business across the Caribbean and in mainland U.S. states, such
as Florida and New York, and require telephony services with a high
degree of flexibility, scalability and mobility," said Carlos
Blanco, president of Centennial de Puerto Rico. "BroadWorks
Mobile PBX will give these companies and entrepreneurs the telecommunications
capabilities they need to operate anywhere, at any time, on any
device. BroadSoft and Atreus complemented our product deployment
efforts very well, culminating in a highly successful launch."
Built on best practices, BroadSoft's QuickStart Express defines
a planning, sales and deployment model and provides supporting go-to-market
framework, toolkits and collateral for telecom service providers.
Atreus Systems extends the BroadSoft QuickStart Express program
with automated provisioning and customer self-management software
for BroadWorks that enables Centennial to automate the provisioning
of BroadSoft's Mobile PBX features, while streamlining service ordering,
simplifying VoIP bundle package creation, and automating IP phone
ordering, shipment and configuration.
"Our pre-packaged provisioning support for BroadSoft's QuickStart
Express program will empower Centennial to become operational quickly
by simplifying the complex processes in deploying the Mobile PBX
application," said Andrea Baptiste, CEO of Atreus Systems.
"Centennial is leveraging its strong market position with
enterprises by offering VoIP through our Mobile PBX solution,"
said Michael Tessler, president and CEO of BroadSoft. "This
agreement also shows that Centennial is willing to lead the way
in providing advanced telecommunications technology among carriers
in North America and the Caribbean."
