Cypress Communications Receives Prestigious VON Magazine Innovator...



Cypress Communications today announced that it has received the 2008 VON Magazine Innovator Award in recognition of its cutting-edge hosted VoIP (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_Unlimited_Enterprise_VoIP.html) and unified communications (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_conferencing.html) solution, C4 IP (http://www.cypresscom.net/solutions/C4_IP_Unlimited_Enterprise_VoIP.html). The VON Magazine Innovator Award is the foremost listing of companies that represent the future of the Internet Communications industry.




For over 20 years, Cypress Communications has remained at the forefront of innovation, continually expanding its hosted communication offerings. As a comprehensive solution that integrates traditional PBX functionality with advanced IP communications features, C4 IP has made its mark in the hosted VoIP marketplace. C4 IP even helped to define a new category called Communications as a Service (http://www.cypresscom.net/pdf/Cypress%20Exemplifies%20New%20Hosted%20VoIP%20Category_121007_Final.pdf) (CaaS), which has been hailed by industry experts as the most innovative of the hosted VoIP delivery models.



With the Cypress CaaS solution, C4 IP, there's no upfront investment in expensive hardware, no worries of technological obsolescence and no need to devote internal resources to maintaining the communications infrastructure on the part of the end user. And, C4 IP is delivered through a fully redundant national VoIP network, which has been independently recognized for its unique ability to provide uninterrupted voice services in the face of any disaster-a level of business continuity (http://www.cypresscom.net/network/landing.html) unmatched by other hosted VoIP solutions designed for small-to-medium enterprises.



"The VON Magazine Innovator Awards recognize the Internet Communications industry's best and brightest companies, and we're pleased to include Cypress Communications as an inaugural winner," said Bill Sell, Publisher, VON Media Group. "With its comprehensive feature set and robust network architecture, Cypress stood out in the large field of nominated companies, and the award selection committee unanimously agreed that Cypress Communications represents the level of innovation and technological leadership deserving of a VON Magazine Award."



"When we first launched C4 IP, we knew that we were on to something, but we weren't sure if the market was ready for it," said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress Communications. "However, the overwhelmingly positive responses of the market and industry serve as great validation of both the innovative nature of our solution and the incredible potential of the Communications as a Service (CaaS) model. This latest recognition further solidifies Cypress' unique position in the hosted VoIP arena, and we are honored to be selected as a recipient of the prestigious VON Innovators Award."
