Fonality® Connect Virtual Phone System Gets Call-Up From 250 Aussie Businesses

Award-winning cloud-based systems offer SMB's a plug-and-play solution

Sydney - August 31, 2010 - Fonality, Inc. (www.fonality.com.au), a innovative provider of cloud-based business phone solutions, today announced its virtual business phone system, Fonality Connect, has been adopted by more than 250 Australian small to medium-sized businesses.

 

Launched at CeBIT Australia less than three months ago, Fonality Connect is an enterprise-class phone system that can be delivered to any SMB with an Internet connection. The cloud-based solution provides SMBs with access to advanced phone features previously reserved for large enterprises, such as in-house conference calls and the ability to unify multiple offices and home workers in one system. With a fixed monthly fee from just $39 per user, free calls and no contracts, Fonality Connect also helps business owners substantially reduce their monthly phone bills.

 

One example is Moss & Hooper, an Australian specialised consulting company with staff working across its offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane as well as South Africa. Moss & Hooper replaced their aging on-premise PABX with Fonality Connect. Fonality Connect lets Moss & Hooper easily configure the system and move handsets themselves, a job that previously required an external IT service provider.

 

"Fonality's Connect system offers small to medium businesses a full featured telephony solution with none of the hassles normally associated with an in-house solution. Despite having a rich feature set, the cost effective Connect system is friendly from a management standpoint," said John Quinn, Managing Partner at Moss & Hooper.

 

"VoIP solutions previously ignored the needs of SMBs," says Fonality Australia's Managing Director, Marc Englaro. "They were either feature rich, expensive systems for the big end of town or more affordable but basic products designed for home users. Fonality Connect bridges this gap, by offering enterprise-style phone functionalities in a cost effective pay-as-you-go model that makes it easy for SMBs to sound more professional, provide better customer service, while still saving money on calls costs."

 

Fonality Connect has been designed as a 'plug-and-play' solution, which is no more complicated to set up than a new PC or laptop.

 

Fonality Connect is available in Standard Edition and Team Edition, which also offers an upgrade to advanced call centre features usually reserved for high-priced, big business phone systems. With prices starting at $39 per month per user (+GST), Fonality Connect enables business owners to budget their monthly telephony costs accurately, with no unwanted surprises.

 

Recently, Fonality Connect won the prestigious CeBIT.AU Excellence in Communications Award. The 2010 CeBIT.AU Business Awards were held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, during CeBIT Australia 2010 (May 24 - 26, 2010).

 

Fonality Connect is available exclusively through Fonality Australia - www.fonality.com.au
