Calls Overseas Just a Click Away
Issued:03/03/2008A Cornish IT company has installed a hi-tech communications system to provide a Bodmin-based company with faster and cheaper links to its new office in Australia. Piran Technologies, based in Redruth, has helped Infoteam connect its offices in Bodmin, St Columb and Sydney, Australia by using Voice Over Internet Protocol or VOIP as it is more commonly known. Infoteam, which has previously used Piran Technologies for computer networking and support in the UK, commissioned the company to plan and install an industry-leading CISCO based network in Australia. Piran Technologies incorporated a VOIP phone system allowing for free encrypted phone calls offering a completely secure line for communication between Infoteam offices. Mark Wright, Piran Technologies? Managing Director said: ?We were very excited to be involved in this project to install Infoteam?s VOIP system. We sent one of our trained engineers to Australia to set it up and make sure it was all ready to go. But VOIP isn?t just for companies who need to communicate internationally. Small and medium-sized business in the South West can save money and have more control over their phone systems with this increasingly popular technology.? VOIP is a way to carry voice conversations over the Internet and has advanced features that give the owner complete control over their phone communications, usually through a web based control panel. Advanced features can include call hunting to allow calls that are unanswered to follow a path to a different phone, simultaneous ringing which allows more than one number to ring when someone calls, caller ID and call forwarding. Piran Technologies has a VOIP system set up in its offices to demonstrate to companies how the system works and to offer them a hands-on experience of the system. The company also visits businesses across the South West to give onsite demonstrations. Simon Harland, Info Team?s Chief Financial Officer said: ?We have a long-standing relationship with Piran Technologies and have been happy with the work they have done in connecting our offices in Cornwall and Australia. It?s great that we can pick up the phone and be connected to our offices in Australia for free. Having one system covering our phones and Internet reduces our running costs." Infoteam provides after market service for leading electrical manufacturers including graded refurbishment, volume shipment to and from the UK and Europe and management of European stock of spare parts. Infoteam also provides a screening and repair service for a variety of products for insurance companies and leading retail chains. The company also provide an e-commerce engine, product distribution and call centre support. VOIP systems are an increasing popular element of Piran Technologies? services, which also include IT and communication solutions to help businesses operate more efficiently. Piran Technologies provide a range of packages to suit small business and enterprise level organisations. Mark continued: "We have a very friendly and professional team and help companies find the best IT solution to help keep costs down and help them run as efficiently as possible. All our engineers are highly trained and we are a CISCO partner and Microsoft Gold Certified, among the highest level of qualifications held by IT companies in the South West.?
