solution that includes hosted VoIP and hosted unified communications functionality–all delivered and managed by a single provider. This new paradigm delivers the best of today’s communications options to companies whose size, budget, and technical expertise would normally prevent them from utilizing this productivity-enhancing technology.

Much like the SaaS model, businesses pay for usage, not ownership. Cypress’ UCaaS solution, C4 IP, provides businesses with comprehensive, flexible and scalable options. The bundled service includes integrated voice and data access, phones, local and long distance, voicemail, PBX calling features such as caller ID, call forwarding and call waiting, and advanced unified communications functionality such as video calling, Web collaboration, chat, presence and unified messaging. C4 IP requires little internal oversight, so firms can easily reallocate IT budget and personnel resources to where they’ll create the most business growth and value.

In addition to easing the technological burden on the small to mid-sized enterprise (SME), C4 IP also brings with it increased flexibility, scalability and reliability. Cypress takes on the challenge of keeping up with the rapid evolution of communications technologies, bringing advances and new applications to SMEs faster than if they attempted it themselves. And, since the SME is not responsible for creating and maintaining the communications infrastructure, the solution can be scaled up or down as the business changes without any additional investments in hardware or software. The inherent business continuity guaranteed by Cypress‘ robust network infrastructures also ensures that SMEs can continue working productively in the face of any situation.
