Validated with Microsoft Skype for Business, Patton Delivers Cloud-Powered Integration
Cloud-powered SmartNode VoIP gateways & eSBCs, now certified with Skype for Business, will allow 888VoIP managed partners to take advantage of new business opportunities & revenue streams.
BUFFALO, NY - Patton, a US-based enabling solutions provider for unified communications (UC), UC-as-Service (UCCAS) and Cloud - has announced all SmartNode VoIP products version 3.X - including Virtual SmartNode (vSN) - are validated for interoperability with Skype for Business (SfB). Managed partners
of 888VoIP, a leading distributor of VoIP hardware & software services, will be able to leverage the benefits of this validation when utilizing applicable Patton products.
Patton SmartNode products are validated
by TekVizion, a Microsoft-certified lab, in the SBC and enhanced gateway categories, and
are forward compatible with Microsoft Teams. Additionally, with the Patton Cloud edge orchestration service, it is effortless to activate, configure and manage the SmartNode-enabled connection with on-premise or hosted Skype for Business.
“Executives know effective communication with customers, partners, and employees
is key to sustainable growth,” said Robert
R. Patton (Bobby), President and CEO,
“Still, countless organizations operate today using traditional Key System or TDM PBX voice communications. With validated interoperability with Skype for Business, Patton empowers those businesses to connect to the IP world, delivering increased mobility, enhanced teamwork, heightened customer engagement, and higher productivity.”
By installing SmartNode VoIP gateways
and enterprise session border controllers (eSBCs), 888VoIP managed partners can reap the cost-savings and productivity benefits of SfB. Investments in working analog or digital PBX and telephony/communication devices (phones, speakers, intercoms, paging) will be preserved. Traditional PSTN connectivity will not be sacrificed.
“888VoIP and Patton Electronics have a successful, long-standing track record of offering and supporting high-quality products to VAR and SP customers,” said David Vance, Chief Business Development Officer and Partner at 888VoIP, “With the new products and interoperability into Microsoft’s SfB platform, there are now new opportunities for
our partners to expand their services to net new customers.”
888VoIP partners have already possessed the ability to offer customers Patton SmartNode products, known as the world’s “most interoperable” VoIP CPE. Now, these products will allow companies to seamlessly interconnect hybrid or ALL-IP networks, existing FXS/FXO POTS services, ISDN BRI/ PRI lines, and incompatible SIP telephony systems to SfB. The new Patton validation will assist in enhancing teamwork, heightening customer engagement, and upping productivity.
