Cypress Communications Fuels Teleworker Productivity with Hosted VoIP and Unified Communications



Atlanta (Vocus) July 30, 2008-- Cypress Communications fuels teleworker productivity with hosted VoIP (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_Unlimited_Enterprise_VoIP.html) and unified communications (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_msoutlook.html). With Cypress' C4 IP (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_Unlimited_Enterprise_VoIP.html)? hosted VoIP and unified communications solution, hallway meetings and water-cooler conversations are replaced with PC-based calling, chat, desktop video, Web collaboration and real-time information on co-worker availability and status.

Cypress Communications customer Nancy Wright Whatley, chief executive officer at VantagePoint touts C4 IP's remote worker support, "C4 IP will give us the flexibility and mobility we need to continue delivering superior service and world-class support for our rapidly growing client base without the need to add traditional "brick and mortar" offices. We can embrace a virtual business model with all of its inherent benefits, but communicate as if we are in the same building. This type of communications approach will

help us be more productive and responsive to our clients and enable us to meet our business goals much more quickly."

"Many organizations have initiated teleworking programs as a way to attract and retain top talent; however, record-high gas prices have spurred even more organizations to offer teleworking options to employees. Sure, teleworking has its advantages, but most managers are at a loss on how to manage remote employees. Successful teleworking programs require more than providing a phone and email access to the remote employee. The question becomes how to best manage their time and how to keep them connected and engaged with co-workers despite reduced face-to-face contact," said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress Communications.

"For optimal productivity, managers need insight into the activities of remote workers; co-workers need to share files, collaborate on projects, participate in meetings and communicate instantly with each other. They need to be able to communicate across the miles just as they did when they were within a few steps of each other--and that's what Cypress Communications offers with C4 IP."

Named for its ability to help employees connect, communicate, collaborate and continue?, C4 IP is an enterprise-class hosted VoIP and unified communications solution that features integrated voice and data access, desktop phones, PC-based phones, unified messaging (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_UnifiedMessaging.html) and cutting-edge multimedia applications such as Microsoft® Outlook integration (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_msoutlook.html), collaboration (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_filesharing.html), real-time presence (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_presence.html), desktop video (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_videocalling.html), chat (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_chat.html), and audio, video and Web conferencing (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_conferencing.html).
