San Francisco, CA, March 23, 2007 --(PR.com)-- CallTower, Inc., the leading provider of Always-On, hosted communications and collaboration solutions for businesses, today announced that the company’s ongoing 2006 strategic alliance with Far Above Average, a leading Bay Area IT management and support services consultancy, resulted in five growing businesses signing up to receive CallTower’s hosted services.
As a result of using the CallTower services, these Far Above Average customers increased their internal and external communications and collaboration productivity by up to 30 percent, and have reduced their local, long distance and conferencing telephony costs almost 25 percent.
