VoSKY and AltiGen Link for New Skype Applications
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
VoSKY, a developer of Skype for business solutions, announced that it
has partnered with AltiGen Communications, a provider of VoIP business
phone systems and Microsoft-based Unified Communications solutions, to
provide new Skype-enabled applications for remote communications.
The companies stated that the partnership combines AltiGen's powerful
Voice over IP (VoIP) communication solutions with VoSKY's advanced
Skype applications. The new feature, Skype Extension Anywhere, enables
companies to seamlessly connect remote employees and frequent travelers
through Skype's reliable and scalable VoIP network, significantly
reducing the costs of remote communication.
Designed for the increasing popularity of remote workers,
telecommuters, and virtual offices across the enterprise, Skype
Extension Anywhere allows remote employees to tap into the corporate
phone system using Skype. Using a Skype-enabled mobile phone, Skype
phone, or laptop with the free Skype client, workers can enjoy the same
call control functionality -- including transfer, conferencing,
reporting, voice recording, and voicemail -- from wherever they are,
just as if they were sitting in the office.
The companies noted that Skype Extension Anywhere activates any
Skype-compatible device as a fully capable office extension and
transparently routes incoming calls to the remote device. Routing calls
over Skype's VoIP network ensures the high voice quality and service
reliability critical for business communication -- giving companies an
attractive alternative to deploying SIP-based soft phones that rely on
the public Internet. Companies can cost-effectively add remote workers
as demand increases, and only need to deploy the free Skype client
software.
"Work is no longer restricted to inside the four walls of the office.
To effectively mobilize the employee base, it's essential to equip
remote workers with the same communication tools as their colleagues in
the office," said David Tang, VP of Global Marketing at VoSKY. "With
Skype Extension Anywhere, companies now have an affordable and easy way
to connect their mobile workforce."
"Partnering with VoSKY extends our enterprise communication solutions
and gives businesses a unique opportunity to reduce costs through VoIP,
while benefiting from Skype's flexibility, ease of management, and
superior voice quality," said Jimmin Yao, VP of Product Management at
AltiGen. "Skype Extension Anywhere is just one example of the
innovative capabilities made possible through this partnership."
