Unisys Employs Quintum's Tenor VoIP Gateway in Service Offering for Customer Trials of Microsoft's Unified Communications Techno
July 22 2008 - 9:00AM
Marketwired
EATONTOWN, NJ , announced today that Unisys Corporation (NYSE:
UIS) deployed Quintum's Tenor VoIP gateway in its "unified
communications hosted trial" service. The service allows customers
to test Microsoft Corp.'s unified communications technology at no
cost, including Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007, and Microsoft Office Live Meeting.
Unisys was selected by Microsoft for its deep expertise in
developing communications solutions on the Microsoft platform and
its ability to manage reliable enterprise-class applications.
Similarly, Unisys evaluated the Microsoft-certified gateway vendors
and selected Quintum based on its long term working relationship
with Microsoft in providing support for Office Communications
Server 2007 in the Tenor line of VoIP switches and gateways. The
Tenor CMS (Carrier MultiPath Switch) was adopted because it
provided back-end support for the unified communications platform
and had the capacity to support a hosted platform.
Unisys developed, implemented and manages the hosted trial
service in conjunction with Microsoft. The program allows Unisys
and Microsoft salespeople to sign up to 20 accounts per customer to
evaluate the latest unified communications technology from
Microsoft for 30 days, including e-mail, calendaring, unified
messaging, multi-party instant messaging, and voice and video
conferencing.
"This new service allows our clients to experience the power of
unified communications across their enterprises," said Jim Boak,
vice president, Microsoft and Intel Alliances, Unisys. "We chose
the Quintum Tenor for our trial service platform because it was
easy to install, provides excellent voice quality and is very
reliable."
"The ability to try the service without needing to deploy
equipment will allow more companies to experience the value of
unified communications," said Chuck Rutledge, Vice President of
Marketing for NET/Quintum. "We are pleased to be supporting this
service along with Microsoft and Unisys."
