Cypress Communications reportedly announced that it has accepted an invitation to host a session on Unified Communication for Small to Medium Businesses titled, “Hosted UC Alternatives for the SMB” for one the biggest Web centric media events, TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2009, which takes place Sept. 1-3.

 

Company officials said that one of their senior most corporate staff, Frank Grillo (News - Alert) (News - Alert), its executive vice president of marketing, who is well versed and experienced with unified communications-related topics, will discuss the topic during the 9:30 a.m. session on Sept. 3 at ITEXPO West at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, Calif.

 

"Smaller businesses want to compete with larger enterprises on a level playing field -- deploying advanced video, hosted IP, presence, cloud computing, real time & streaming video services and the like," Grillo said in a statement. “Today's hosted solutions offer a means to an end -- enabling SMBs to cost effectively deploy unified communications services without the cost and complexity of a traditional premises deployment.”

 

Cypress said the Grillo will discuss critical issues that hosted solutions must address, including bandwidth along the WAN link, interoperability of devices, integration of applications and devices, and cost parameters that can help SMBs achieve productive and cost-effective voice, video and data communications.

 

"We are very pleased that Frank Grillo will be participating in this year's show," said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC (News - Alert) (News - Alert), in a statement. “Cypress Communications (News - Alert) is widely recognized and respected as an industry leader, and I am confident that our attendees will appreciate and value the opportunity to hear his perspective on hosted unified communications.”

 

Previous year attendances and responses to TMCnet’s IT EXPOs support the conference’s success. It is considered one of the leading IP Communications trade shows, which in 2008 attracted more than 7,000 buyers, service providers, vendors, resellers and value added resellers of VoIP and IP communications products and services. Registration is now open here.

 

“Over the past 12 months, widespread deployment of unified communications has reinforced that this exciting technology is a viable, cost-effective communications solution," Tehrani said. “As a result, we are seeing a significant number of senior-level executives attending IT Expo West as a means of learning about the technology so they, too, can take advantage of its benefits."

 

Cypress’ flagship product, C4 IP, allows staff to communicate, collaborate and continue – hence the name C4 – working through any situation. To guarantee such a sustain quality of delivery and service, Cypress has multiple back-up servers in the same, as well as other locations. So if the central server fails, the system auto detects and switches over instantly to the next data back-up base.

 

Power outages just cannot affect any of it systems since each is fed with dual power supply, fuel activated generators and uninterrupted battery powered supply sources. So breakdowns are fail-safe, even through any disaster. Employees can work anywhere and can move independently of any physical system restraint, such as landlines with fixed contact numbers.

 

C4 IP delivers video and VoIP, integrates private branch exchanges with e-mail, multimedia streaming and the complete Microsoft (News - Alert) Office Suite. Cypress provides a unified inbox application that works within Microsoft Office and delivers simultaneous voicemail, e-mail and fax. It reduces conventional communication clutter, overhead and expenditure.
