Foreshore announces strategic alliance to deliver VoIP services

22 October 2004

Foreshore has partnered with On Instant, a global business telecommunications network, to provide its clients with simple to deploy communications solutions that are designed to increase flexibility and reduce costs.

Chris Evans, managing director of Foreshore, said "Foreshore is a business communications hub committed to providing its clients with innovative communications solutions to the challenges of operating in a global economy. We use the On Instant VoIP service extensively for communicating with our overseas partners. Internet calls are free and calls routed to land line or mobile phones are significantly cheaper than traditional routes. Our ecommerce customers can integrate the solution into their site enabling their clients to talk to them before buying on-line. There is strong interest in the financial services community where this technology can be operated like a virtual phone company to a limited customer base and further reinforce brand and customer loyalty."

Ken Addison, sales manger for security products, added "There are a number of clients looking to deploy the service as part of their disaster recovery plans because the client can be downloaded and enabled anywhere - providing all your contacts. This is a simple, cost-effective solution to the normally complex issue of finding a disaster recovery solution for telephony."
