BroadSoft Teams Up With 3Com to Help Service Providers Streamline Delivery of Hosted VoIP at the Customer Site24 October 2006
BroadSoft, Inc., a leading provider of VoIP application software, today announced jointly at the BroadSoft Connections 2006 Executive Users Conference that its BroadWorks® platform will interoperate with 3Com's secure, converged network solutions. 3Com's broad portfolio of network solutions, integrated with the BroadWorks platform, simplify the implementation and management challenges service providers face when deploying new services at the customer premise.
3Com's entire portfolio of switches, routers, IP phones, security and wireless solutions are optimized to support Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic. With 3Com, service providers now have the ability to offer small- and medium-sized organizations that want a hosted VoIP solution an end-to-end, full-featured and cost effective infrastructure to support the BroadWorks platform. The fully-integrated 3Com portfolio also gives service providers greater visibility into the customer's network, so they can proactively diagnose problems to prevent costly outages.
"To be competitive, small- and medium-sized organizations need to take advantage of the advanced features and cost-savings benefits convergence and VoIP services deliver, but they want options for how they can leverage the technology to best suit their business plans," said Brian Allain, vice president and general manager of 3Com's Data and Voice Business Unit. "3Com provides the most complete network infrastructure solutions to complement BroadSoft's hosted VoIP solutions. Additionally, 3Com's global footprint ensures that service providers and end-user customers have comprehensive support for all of their communications initiatives."
