As an extension of the company’s already broad portfolio, snom has introduced snom Active, a new secure and hosted provisioning solution for snom IP phones being deployed as part of an integrated business IP telephony or unified communication (UC) system.

snom Active provides snom distributors and certified value-added resellers (VARs) with a free advanced provisioning and management tool for snom phones and endpoints that boosts the speed and efficiency of the deployment process for VARs’ implementing VoIP or UC in the enterprise, according to company officials. 

By streamlining most provisioning and management functions of a snom IP telephony system, snom Active helps maximize cost efficiencies by eliminating costs associated with support, administration and maintenance.

snom Active features include managed snom subdomain, fleet and sytem-wide management and administration, “white label” hosting opportunities, full remote deployability, military-grade security and unlimited re-registerability on handsets, just to name a few.

In addition to the many features of snom Active, the solution also provides seamless UC support, fast and efficient provisioning with Microsoft Lync 2010 and broad deployment with IP PBX (News - Alert), hosted and managed VoIP business services.

The snom Active hosted provisioning service provides full support of the entire portfolio of snom phones in unified communications environments, including the snom 3xx and snom 8xx series’ of desktop phones, the snom m9 cordless DECT phone as well as snom’s UC line of Microsoft Lync 2010-qualifed snom phones.

 “snom Active gives our channel community a powerful solution for managing their fleet of snom desktop phones for enterprise-scale VoIP or unified communication implementations during the earliest stages of deployment - provisioning and configuration - when speed and efficiency are the most critical success factors,” said Mike Storella (News - Alert), snom COO.

“By making the registration and activation process of snom phones faster, simpler and more scalable, snom Active can exponentially improve the implementation process for enterprise VoIP or UC enabling our snom distributors and resellers to grow their top line while reducing their bottom line in the process,” Storella added.

The snom Active service is now available free of charge to certified snom resellers and official distributors worldwide.
