MALO CLINIC Avoids Capital Expense and Gains Scalability with Hosted Unified Communications

) December 18, 2008 -- MALO CLINIC, a prestigious international healthcare and wellness center, will implement the C4 IP™ hosted VoIP and hosted unified communications solution from Cypress Communications®. With MALO CLINIC's expectation to double its staff in the coming years, flexibility and scalability were key factors in their selection of C4 IP.

Cypress helped us avoid making an unnecessary capital purchase. With C4 IP, we get exactly what we need now--a robust voice solution delivered through a private network with the latest unified communications features like presence, secure instant messaging and collaboration--and we have the ability to add additional phones and services as our company expands

We looked at a number of other communications providers, but they all required purchasing phones and equipment. With our expected growth, that would have meant spending substantial capital dollars on technology that we wouldn't even get to use yet

With C4 IP, there's no one-size-fits-all approach

Each company's needs are unique, and as a hosted solution, C4 IP provides companies with the level of customization, flexibility and scalability they need to take advantage of the latest communications features in the most economical way possible.

"Cypress helped us avoid making an unnecessary capital purchase. With C4 IP, we get exactly what we need now--a robust voice solution delivered through a private network with the latest unified communications features like presence, secure instant messaging and collaboration--and we have the ability to add additional phones and services as our company expands," said Kat Park, clinic administrator.

"We looked at a number of other communications providers, but they all required purchasing phones and equipment. With our expected growth, that would have meant spending substantial capital dollars on technology that we wouldn't even get to use yet," Park continued.

C4 IP is an enterprise-class hosted VoIP and unified communications solution that features integrated voice and data access, desktop phones, soft phones, unified messaging and cutting-edge multimedia applications such as Microsoft® Outlook integration, collaboration, mobility features, real-time presence, chat, as well as audio, video and Web conferencing.

Because of its hosted delivery model, C4 IP helps companies circumvent many of the obstacles they face when upgrading their communications: there's no capital investment, no ongoing maintenance and upgrade fees, and no need to hire and train additional IT staff to manage the infrastructure--saving companies in time, money and personnel resources.

"With C4 IP, there's no one-size-fits-all approach," said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress Communications. "Each company's needs are unique, and as a hosted solution, C4 IP provides companies with the level of customization, flexibility and scalability they need to take advantage of the latest communications features in the most economical way possible."
