TMCnet News

 

NORWALK, CT– Sept. 5, 2007 – Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC), world leaders in communications and technology media, and Fonality (News - Alert), a maker of business phone systems, announced today that Fonality’s trixbox Open Communications Certification (FtOCC) Course, to be held at TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO (ITEXPO (News - Alert)) in Los Angeles, has completely sold out.

The three-day FtOCC Technician course runs concurrently with ITEXPO, to be held Sept. 10-12, 2007 in Los Angeles. FtOCC Technician is a three-day technical certification course designed to train resellers and consultants to support their clients running trixbox CE, trixbox Pro, and PBXtra systems.

“trixbox, already a driving force in the telephony market, is gaining more and more traction among resellers every day. They see tremendous opportunity to quickly take advantage of the rapidly expanding market opportunity for IP-PBX products and VoIP services,” said Michael Genaro (News - Alert), vice president of marketing at TMC. “Clearly, the sold out status of this course at ITEXPO proves that to be true.”

“The open telephony world has begun to make serious money off of the trixbox platform,” said Chris Lyman, CEO of Fonality. “Telephony experts and system integrators alike have recognized this and are now investing in their education. Selling out our fifth consecutive FtOCC Technician is a testament to this movement. And, since these courses now benefit anyone interested in Asterisk (News - Alert), they appeal to an even broader audience than ever!"
