SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - January 23, 2008) - PanTerra Networks (www.panterranetworks.com),
a leading provider of on-demand unified communications services for small
and mid-sized businesses, today announced the launch of its new
Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") Smartsuites. With Smartsuites, PanTerra
continues its leadership in bringing the unlimited power of on-demand
services to the market without the complexity and significant expense
associated with traditional solutions such as on-premise based systems or
silo hosted services.
Smartsuites include a complete set of unlimited communication,
collaboration, messaging and call center services that SMBs need to run
their businesses. It provides a robust, multi-functional and highly
scalable solution that empowers companies to focus on their businesses
rather than administration or maintenance hassles. Smartsuites cover four
major communications areas and come in five key value packs -- Element,
Communicator, Collaborator, Messenger and Call Center. In addition, there
are two combination packs, Executive and Power which combine the features
of multiple key Smartsuites at a lower overall cost. Smartsuite Messenger
will be fully available in the second half of the year.
"We believe that through Smartsuites, we can transform business
communications by bringing down both cost and complexity," said Arthur
Chang, CEO of PanTerra Networks. "We have been laser focusing on serving
the SMB market with a solution that combines the power of an unlimited
multi-service SaaS delivery model with a simple and intuitive user
experience. This launch is the key to deliver on our promise to the SMBs,
which will result in further productivity enhancement and compelling
business value for our customers and partners."
Unlike any of the service providers that keeps repeating the problems of
the past and creating complex multi-line item silo services, Smartsuites
are built with the vision of delivering a complete, unlimited on-demand
unified communications services to specifically address the dynamic needs
of the SMB market. With unlimited voice, web meeting and audio
conferencing, Smartsuites eliminate the financial cost uncertainties and
complex monthly communications bills and allow SMBs to do what they do
best, focus on their customers. Smartsuites put it all together.
Along with Smartsuites, PanTerra also introduced a new generation quote
tool, Smartquote, for its Smarter Partners. Smartquote is a web-based
quote-to-production management tool, which enables value-added resellers
(VARs) and private brand wholesalers to quickly and accurately quote
services and products to their customers, managing the entire process
through account production. Smartquote fully supports PanTerra's channel
partners' needs to run their businesses by providing the real-time
visibility into leads and quotes with sophisticated statistic reports for
any date range. In addition, a PanTerra channel partner is able to generate
branded or
co-branded quote and can include their own hardware products with the quote
to their customers by using Smartquote.
"We have partnered with PanTerra for two years and we are excited about the
new SaaS Smartsuite value packs, which we believe will provide us with
greater opportunity to meet our customers' needs," said Greg Walker, CEO of
Dynamix Unified Solutions. "I am particularly impressed with the value that
each Smartsuite package brings, as well as the simplicity of the
implementation and unlimited use plans. PanTerra Smartsuite services are
nice additions to our existing unified systems and solutions portfolio.
PanTerra is completely changing the industry by eliminating the bits and
bytes on communications bills which oftentimes leaves customers at a loss.
You will never have to compromise your business productivity to handle
something that is not part of your core business."
