New CallTower Partner Power Program Gives Resellers No-Hassle Recurring Revenue, Advanced Hosted Voice/Data Applications

San Francisco, CA, September 07, 2006 --(PR.com)-- In order to meet the exponential market demand for outsourced IP voice and data, CallTower, Inc., the leading provider of hosted intelligent communications and collaboration services for dynamic businesses, today introduced the new CallTower Partner Power Program. 

The new CallTower Partner Power Program is the IT channel’s first reseller program that provides recurring revenue and complete sales support, integration and customer care for delivery of hosted voice and data services and applications that include the Microsoft® Live Communications Server with the Cisco® CallManager into one convenient, secure, hosted suite for growing businesses. 

Under the new CallTower Partner Power Program, any Cisco® IPT Certified Gold or Silver partners are now eligible to become CallTower Reseller Partners. 

CallTower created the new, expanded Partner Power Program to respond to the increasing mid-sized enterprise demand for advanced, scalable outsourced voice and data services and applications that allow these companies to reduce their monthly capital expense. CallTower’s disaster-proof telephony services and applications allow leading partners to deliver advanced, reliable, enterprise-class business communications to a growing base of business customers who require features that can make their company more competitive, while reducing overhead and capital expense.

The Increasing Mid-Enterprise Demand for Outsourced IP Communication
Recently, in a research study conducted by Infonetics, more than 52 percent of enterprise companies surveyed reported that they will increase their VoIP spending this year for new products and services. Computer Reseller News has estimated that more than 64 percent of U.S. companies are currently either deploying or evaluating enterprise VoIP telephony. Also, most companies replace their PBX systems every 7-10 years, and went through a replacement process prior to Y2K. Thus, researchers expect an increased demand for advanced IP communications services and applications in the coming months and years. 

CallTower provides businesses with an advanced set of hosted voice, data and application capabilities that eliminates the ongoing maintenance and service costs of managing on-premise telephony, Internet service, and data systems. 

The CallTower Enterprise Services and Application Suite includes: Internet, telephony, voice, email and fax messaging, calling plans, network administration, single-wire connectivity, call center functions, Cisco CallManager (softswitch) provisioning, Microsoft Exchange integration, presence management, disaster-proof access to all data and voicemail, 24/7 customer support and full integration of multiple offices and remote users.
