Communications-as-a-service for MSPs?

September 23, 2010 Telesphere: Communications as a Service For MSPs?MSPmentor Matthew Weinberger writes about a hosted PBX voice-over IP (VoIP) service offering for MSPs from a company called Telesphere.

“Like other cloud Internet telephony services, Telesphere says their business advantage is in taking the “brains” out of the phone closet and into a managed data facility where engineers watch over your phone system 24 x 7. And with the ‘Telesphere Complete' service, the company will even provide the equipment and maintenance for a flat fee. And in the event of power loss at the local site, Telesphere keeps voicemail working and will reroute calls to customer-specified numbers.”

“Just two weeks ago Nokia set the end of September as the official launch date for its flagship Symbian^3 smartphone, the N8. But it has now delayed the launch for October. ‘In some markets, we had planned to start delivering the N8s to our pre-order customers by the end of September. To ensure a great user experience, we have decided to hold the shipments for a few weeks to do some final amends (...) we expect consumers to get their Nokia N8s during October,' Nokia said in a statement.”
