PanTerra Networks Announces Further Enhancement of Its Unified Communications SaaS Platform

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - July 29, 2008) - PanTerra Networks (www.panterranetworks.com), a leading provider of on-demand unified communications services for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced the general availability of WorldSmart version 3.8, a major release of its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. WorldSmart is PanTerra's industry leading on-demand unified communications solution.

WorldSmart 3.8 expands the feature set of the previous generation of WorldSmart services to offer the SMB market a proven multi-service SaaS platform, integrating communications, collaboration, messaging and call center applications into a single unified experience. The latest release delivers even more features, flexibility, and scalability. Feature enhancements include a more robust IM client, advanced ACD features such as supervisory silent listen, whisper and barge-in modes, call recording, easy click-to-call Outlook integration, enhanced operator console and additional call control features.

While rolling out the system's enhancements, PanTerra looked to its customers and partners for inputs. "This release is in response to the requests and suggestions of our customers and channel partners. Our multi-service SaaS platform is truly a next generation technology for unified communications," said Rakesh Dubey, Sr. Vice President of Research and Development at PanTerra Networks. "We believe there is nothing in the marketplace right now that provides the same value and seamless integration of services as WorldSmart. Our platform, powered by our proprietary multi-service SaaS architecture, delivers the reliability and scalability needed in this industry."

"WorldSmart services have saved us time and money, and helped us remain competitive in the global market," said Cary Sholer, CEO of WaveStrong, Inc. "We have clients all over the world, which require our staff to travel extensively internationally. We exclusively rely on WorldSmart's full spectrum of communications services to conduct our daily business, including digital voice services, soft-phone, collaboration, conferencing, IM and inbound ACD. WorldSmart's new release is even more powerful and flexible with more advanced features and services at the same cost to us. The feature we are most excited about is the enhanced web conferencing. Having web conferencing capabilities fully integrated with other applications allow us to host webinars, reduce our sales travel, and increase our training capabilities."
