4PSA VoipNow 2.5.1 Simplifies Equipment Provisioning and Creates Opportunities for Wholesale Carriers

Online, February 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 4PSA, the developer of the leading edge VoipNow® Cloud Computing Unified Communications software suite has announced today a new release of the award-winning VoipNow Professional software. The latest version introduces a redesigned provisioning module that simplifies equipment provisioning, a new functionality marketed as Service Provider Template for the use of VoipNow partners, as well as many other improvements that enable service providers to increase the quality of their services and offer more functionality to their customers.

"The new release of VoipNow® Professional comes with a completely redesigned provisioning system aiming to ease and simplify equipment provisioning to end-users, which is usually a time-consuming and difficult to handle job. Managing phone devices can now be done with greater flexibility because the module comes with delegated administration, new possibilities to control provisioning templates, and an open format that allows service providers to rapidly add their own equipment that might not be supported by VoipNow," said 4PSA's CEO Bogdan Carstoiu.

Another important feature of VoipNow 2.5.1 is the Service Provider Template that creates new opportunities for many companies in the industry. With the help of such templates, wholesalers offering SIP trunking services can easily market their offer to service providers using VoipNow and help them with the technical setup of the SIP trunks.

Many service providers have trouble in selecting reliable wholesale carriers, especially on the global market. Thanks to these new facilities, carriers can present their offer to service providers using VoipNow and, at the same time, they can automate the SIP trunk setup process with predefined rules. Service Provider templates can be digitally signed to avoid tampering, which means that they can be safely distributed over the Internet.

"We are accompanying the Service Provider Template with a reshaped Certified SIP Trunking Provider program. Our partners will get their templates automatically pushed to all VoipNow installations in real-time. As certified providers go through a series of compatibility and reliability tests, they represent the first choice for SIP trunking services for VoipNow customers. We welcome any wholesale provider to join our program," Mr. Carstoiu added.

Incoming and outgoing call rules have been improved with new matching rules and actions. One particularly interesting functionality allows mobile devices on the public telephone network to act like internal PBX extensions during a call, without using native VoIP connectivity. Other improvements included in the new version feature integration with external MWI servers, call queue enhancements such as "Whisper mode" or call confirmation by call agents. Furthermore, CallAPI has also been enriched with new resources for developers.

Current customers with a valid update subscription can upgrade to VoipNow® 2.5.1 free of charge in only a few minutes. The new version is also shipped with easy-to-use images for VMware, Parallels Virtuozzo or Amazon EC2 Cloud.
