Endeavor Telecom Announces Turnkey, Flat-Rate Hosted PBX Installation Program

September 14, 2006 – Boston, MA – Fall 2006 VON - Endeavor Telecom, the leading provider of private label wholesale professional services to carriers, service providers, VARs, and equipment manufacturers, today announced a turnkey, flat-rate installation program for Hosted PBX VoIP systems. Endeavor is working with several leading carriers and VoIP service providers to install hosted PBX solutions for their small & medium business customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

VoIP-based communications solutions are gaining widespread acceptance because they provide cost-effective long distance calling plans, and they deliver communications capabilities that increase a company’s productivity. Among the many different VoIP alternatives, Hosted PBX solutions are gaining popularity because they eliminate the need for upfront capital expenses, they’re easy to maintain, and they scale as a company grows. Professional installation services are required for hosted PBX solutions, and Endeavor’s flat-rate turnkey program benefits ILECs, by making it easier for them to plan, budget, and sell hosted solutions. It also makes it easier for their customer, by getting them up-and-running quickly and conveniently.

Endeavor’s white label installation services are provided as a seamless extension to the Service Provider’s internal operations team. Endeavor’s technicians extend the demarc of the access circuit; they physically install the customer premise equipment; and if necessary, they install additional inside wiring and structured cabling. Endeavor configures each new phone by assigning the appropriate phone number and feature set from its fulfillment center in Atlanta. All hardware, including network traffic-shaping appliances are shipped to the customer site, where Endeavor’s field engineers segment the corporate LAN, install the network management and QoS technologies, test each phone and ensure that each user is satisfied.

Endeavor’s flat-rate, wholesale pricing allows Service Providers to accurately budget the costs of services sold, and incorporate an appropriate mark-up, which provides a profit-stream from each Endeavor installation.

“Small and medium businesses keep an eye on the bottom line like no one else, so switching to feature-rich, hosted VoIP solutions can save companies up to 50% off their monthly phone bills,” said Justin McLain, Executive Vice President of Endeavor Telecom. “Hosted PBX systems are an emerging trend in commercial VoIP, and, like our traditional IP trunking business, we’re focused on becoming the dominant provider of installation services to address this important and ever-expanding market opportunity.”
