San Francisco, CA, April 17, 2006 --(PR.com)-- CallTower, Inc., the leading provider of hosted communications and collaboration applications for businesses, today announced that the company has been named as a finalist for the 2006 Outsourcing Excellence Awards. CallTower was selected as an award finalist for its ability to keep business’ customer support communications and data all up and running in the wake of a disaster.

CallTower’s customer, Cool Systems, an innovative sports industry medical device manufacturer, was able to maintain normal business communications, access all phone calls and data, conduct customer support and sales, and communicate and collaborate as a team, even though a fire burned Cool Systems’ headquarters to the ground. If Cool Systems had not been using an outsourced IP communications and collaboration system, the company would not have been able to answer calls or email, nor directly support customers for days or even weeks.

With CallTower’s hosted intelligent voice, data, and collaboration services and applications, Cool Systems did not miss a beat. All of Cool Systems’ communications were available to workers via CallTower’s true unified communications that include: Text-to-Speech messaging for “talking email”, an Announced Caller Digital Assistant™, an Automated Attendant, Voice-Activated Voicemail/Email, and a Speak-by-Name Corporate Directory, as well as other features.
