Cypress Communications’ premiere hosted unified communications solution, C4 IP, is honored for outstanding innovation by Technology Marketing Corporation.
Atlanta (Vocus) November 19, 2009 -- Cypress Communications® continues its winning streak in the unified communications sector—most recently being awarded the 2009 Unified Communications Excellence Award, presented by Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC). Cypress was recognized for its C4 IP® hosted VoIP and hosted unified communications solution, which has garnered 19 awards for excellence and innovation to date.
“At Cypress, we are proud of the recognition C4 IP has received thus far, but we are even more gratified by the success our clients have experienced as a result of implementing the C4 IP solution,” said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress Communications. “With its range of productivity-enhancing features and no-CapEx hosted delivery model, C4 IP is enabling thousands of companies across the U.S. to get more while spending less, which is the greatest reward of all.”
C4 IP comes complete with converged voice and data services and a powerful suite of collaboration tools such as audio and Web conferencing, presence, chat, file sharing and more. With its end-to-end hosted delivery model, C4 IP provides small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) with everything they need—from the technology management to all of the equipment—for a predictable monthly cost. There are no multiple vendor contracts to manage and no worries of technological obsolescence.
Since Cypress provides all of the hardware needed for the C4 IP solution, SMEs avoid making additional capital investments in their communications system when they open new offices, and they also avoid wasting phones and other telecom equipment if offices close. Additionally, Cypress’ comprehensive management of the solution enables SMEs to avoid hiring, training and sustaining additional—not to mention expensive—IT staff. In an economic cycle where businesses are being asked to do more with less, C4 IP is the ideal way to get better technology and enhance productivity while spending less.
“Cypress has demonstrated a commitment to excellence while addressing real needs in the unified communications marketplace. We are pleased to grant a 2009 Unified Communications Excellence Award to C4 IP,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “Congratulations to Cypress on receiving this award; we look forward to future innovations.”
The Unified Communications Excellence Award honors products that have unique features and represent significant contributions in advancing unified communications technology. The publication presenting the award, Unified Communications magazine, is devoted to educating readers on employing unified communications solutions.
