The Mac Mini running VoicePlus can power Enterprises with even more than a 1,000 users, just by adding inexpensive external NAS solutions. VoicePlus echoes the quality and reliability of Apple hardware, making it the first choice for professional business users, including doctors, creative agencies, design agencies, architects, legal offices and any professional organization that needs low power, low noise, low maintenance IP telephony with click and forget about it reliability.

"We are really excited to be working with CommuniGate Systems as a VoicePlus distributor.", said Massimo Bolzoni, CEO Answer VAD, Italy, "VoicePlus finally gives us a cost-effective, feature-rich IP telephony solution to deliver to the small business market. With this solution we expect to drive significant new revenues out of markets we couldn’t previously compete in with solutions that were starting at 50k, and required a huge effort to deploy. Small businesses, which is the vast majority here in Italy, have no time or money for that"

"As a distributor in the UK, VoicePlus enables us to expand our telephony business in to previously difficult to reach market segments.", said Simon Paton, CEO GAPIC, UK, "The opportunity for affordable, feature rich IP telephony in the sub-50 employee SMB market is significant and VoicePlus enables us to deliver profitable solutions into that segment."

"Everyone talks about going into the SMB market, but few can really achieve that with expensive, complex, and un-reliable solutions they sell to big Enterprises with big IT staff and budgets" says Jon Doyle, VP Business Development CommuniGate Systems. "With VoicePlus, our partners and resellers now have access to a commercially viable and highly compelling business communications technology for their small business customers. Delivering all the features expected of the typical large enterprise systems, VoicePlus enables small businesses to appear as a larger, more professional organization but at a price point that suits their budgets and a simplicity that suits their office environment."
