Innovating Our Way Out of NFV Disillusionment


A variety of organizations, including the likes of Verizon and Vodaphone, voiced their frustration at this year's TM Forum Live! about the seeming lack of progress with NFV.

Zycoo Talks Benefits of IP PBX

IP PBX has the potential to make a major difference in how your business operates. For years, companies have been burdened by the constraints attached to a normal PBX.
