BroadSoft and mindSHIFT Technologies
Target SMBs
with an Integrated Voice Solution
BroadWorks® Application Software Provides Framework for mindSHIFT's
Managed VoIP Services
GAITHERSBURG, MD - September 5, 2006 -
BroadSoft, Inc., a leading provider of VoIP application software,
and mindSHIFT Technologies, a leading Managed Services Provider,
have teamed up to provide an integrated voice solution to small-
and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Washington, DC areas. Marketing its product as Hosted Voice
over IP (VoIP), mindSHIFT has already signed up a major client with
locations stretching across the East Coast.
mindSHIFT selected BroadSoft's BroadWorks® platform to deliver
hosted PBX, because of its robust VoIP features, such as selective
call forwarding, find me/follow me, LDAP integration for personal
directories, and remote, at-phone and web control of personal calling
features.
"The BroadWorks application platform provides excellent mobility
and flexibility for our customers," said Paul Chisholm, chairman
and CEO of Fairfax, Virginia-based mindSHIFT. "Hosted VoIP
gives small- and medium-sized organizations all the features and
benefits of carrier-class communications, including scalability,
reliability and redundancy - at an affordable cost. Also, BroadWorks
features, such as visual voicemail in Outlook and conferencing,
blend perfectly with our managed IT services."
Almost immediately after offering its new hosted voice solution,
mindSHIFT landed a multi-office VoIP customer. "We found the
mobility and security offered by mindSHIFT's Hosted VoIP solution
to be a great value," said Debbie Lambert, founder and managing
partner at Johnson Lambert & Co., a CPA and consulting firm
with offices in six states. "Working from our various locations
and numerous offices, VoIP gives us the flexibility and end-user
control to improve our productivity and better service our customers."
"mindSHIFT has earned a well-deserved reputation for providing
dependable managed IT services throughout the Northeast, and hosted
PBX is a natural extension of their service offerings," said
Michael Tessler, president and CEO of BroadSoft. "Integrating
BroadSoft's next-generation applications with mindSHIFT's enterprise-strength
IT services gives telecommuters, road warriors and in-office employees
at SMBs a winning combination of easy-to-use productivity enhancers."
