Apptix Launches Innovative VoIP Leasing Program for SMBs
New VoIP Leasing Options Make it Easy and Affordable for Small and Medium-sized Businesses to Adopt Latest VoIP TechnologyHerndon, Va., Nov. 6, 2007
Apptix (OSE:APP), the premier provider of on-demand business communications solutions for Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs), today announced the availability of a new leasing program for Apptix Voice, the company's hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution. The announcement is part of a new set of Apptix Voice programs and products, which will simplify the adoption of premium quality VoIP telephony solutions among SMBs.
A leader in Hosted Exchange services for SMBs in North America, Apptix has seen growing demand for its recently launched Hosted VoIP service both among its Hosted Exchange customers and organizations new to Apptix. In order to provide small businesses with a premium Voice service to complement its existing market-leading hosted email and collaboration services, Apptix has partnered with Solarcom Capital, the nation's premier IT infrastructure leasing company. Through Solarcom Capital, Apptix will provide SMBs with new options for equipment procurement and set-up resulting in a low-cost entry alternative to business-class hosted VoIP services.
"Our customers are choosing Apptix Voice because it delivers business-class functionality for a lower total cost of ownership than traditional telephony options and lets our small business customers focus on their business instead of having to manage their own telephony infrastructure," said Amir Hudda, CEO of Apptix. "The initial capital outlay for equipment purchase and set-up for any telephony solution, VoIP or traditional, can be a barrier to entry for smaller businesses. Our new VoIP leasing program eliminates this barrier and demonstrates our continued focus on delivering enterprise-class business communications services at small-business prices. We are very pleased to partner with an industry leader like Solarcom Capital to bring this offering to our SMB customers."
"Our goal is to make technology acquisition easy and affordable, and to maximize the value companies receive from their investment. When a customer can get the technology and services they need without a lot of pain and effort, they can focus on the real goal - building their business," said Solarcom Capital President Bob Necessary. "This program makes it simple for SMBs to get the reliable, adaptable VoIP technology they need and it's why we are so proud to be working with a technology leader like Apptix."
