Intelliverse Partners with WebEx, Jabra and Creative to Deliver Unified Communications to the SMB Market
San Jose, Calif. - March 20, 2007- At VON, Intelliverse announced partnerships with WebEx, Jabra and Creative to deliver a unified communications solution for the small and medium business (SMB) market. By incorporating best of breed peripherals and collaboration services with its hosted VoIP offering, Intelliverse enables SMBs to benefit from enterprise-class features for everyday use, as well as meeting and event communications needs.
Intelliverse will offer the WebEx WebOffice solution, Creative webcams and Jabra headsets as a part of its Talking Planet Business and callEverywhere hosted VoIP platforms. SMBs have the same needs of enterprises and rely on their communications networks to help them reach out and collaborate with remote locations to do business. These new partnerships help Intelliverse better meet those needs by giving SMBs the ability to choose the components that work for their needs and keeps them easily connected to their multiple
offices, customers and partners - while giving them the capabilities and features of one large office.
Each of the companies integrates effectively into Intelliverse's VoIP solutions. WebEx's WebOffice is the world's largest on-demand asynchronous collaboration service. Working with Intelliverse's VoIP softphone, it can easily integrate contacts for quick use and simple operation. "Working with Intelliverse is a natural fit for our WebOffice solution," said Gary Resnik, Senior Director of Alliances and Channels for WebEx. "The VoIP implementation is perfect for our established SMB customers. And we are confident that Intelliverse's customers would benefit greatly from our collaboration service offering."
Jabra's headsets free users from the confines of a standard desk phone, adding a new level of quality and convenience to their communications. "Partnering with Intelliverse is a new avenue for Jabra to bring our innovative headsets to an increasingly demanding SMB market," said David Wood, Senior VP/General Manager for Jabra. "Intelliverse and Jabra both share a commitment to using better communications to improve the productivity of SMBs."
"To round out our suite we have done interoperability testing with Creative's webcams so users can personalize their communication with face-to-face meetings," said Kevin M. Moran, President and CEO of Intelliverse. "Partnering with these three leaders in the communications industry is a huge step for Intelliverse and its continued commitment to the SMB market."
