SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - January 21, 2010) - PanTerra Networks (www.panterranetworks.com),
a
leading provider of cloud-based Unified Communications Solutions for small
and mid-sized enterprises, announced today the general availability of
WorldSmart 4.0, which includes the industry's first 100% browser-based UC
client to go with PanTerra's already 100% cloud-based Platform. WorldSmart
4.0 also introduces numerous innovations and user and administrative
enhancements specifically targeting multi-location organizations,
optimizing group interactions and management.
WorldSmart 4.0 is the first of its kind to eliminate any on-premise
hardware or client software, significantly reducing on-site IT costs and
demands, further lowering a company's TCO. Unified Communications can now
be deployed throughout an organization with just a broadband connection and
browser, further simplifying administration and reducing support costs.
WorldSmart 4.0 works on Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems through
Firefox, Explorer, Safari and Chrome browsers expanding WorldSmart's
audience to literally every desktop in every business. WorldSmart is also
compatible with most smartphones. WorldSmart 4.0 stores all user
communications in the cloud so that users can retrieve, search and process
them from any location with just an internet connection and browser.
WorldSmart 4.0's patent-pending multiple column real-time communications
display, with simultaneous micro-browser communication sessions, shows
calls, chat, email, fax, voicemail, SMS and group communications
simultaneously from each user and can initiate a desk share, web
collaboration, audio, video, and instant message conferencing with a click
of the mouse.
"We are excited to continue to lead the industry in being the first unified
communications provider to offer a solution that is 100% cloud-based in
delivery and 100% browser-based in user experience. PanTerra's cost
effective SaaS model and new browser-based interface enables businesses to
efficiently roll out Unified Communications across their organizations,"
said PanTerra's President and CEO Arthur Chang. "WorldSmart's new global
group management features further simplify multi-location interactions
increasing overall business productivity."
Dominic Namnath of TriCounties Regional Center, a PanTerra customer, said,
"WorldSmart 4.0 is a game changer for us. It creates an environment of
unified communications that center on my user's contacts list and is
natural and intuitive to the point where training becomes a non-issue,
accelerating how and when new tools can be deployed in our environment."
"WorldSmart 4.0 is truly revolutionary in that it provides a
standards-based, application free interface that simplifies deployment and
adoption for my customers while dramatically decreasing my overall costs to
support them," said Michael Patrick from Telecommunications Consultant, a
PanTerra partner.
Bob Byrne, from Advanced Test Products, Inc., another PanTerra partner,
said, "The new global group feature in WorldSmart 4.0 delivers true value
by significantly reducing location barriers for all communications in both
large and small companies."
While providing the industry's first 100% browser-based UC experience,
WorldSmart 4.0 is also compatible with existing user interfaces such as
Outlook, Windows, Macs, Linux, standard browsers and standard SIP-based
devices and smartphones.
