WISAPAPLOOZA Fall 2017 - Day 1 Show Daily

L Z OO 2017 T his morning at WISPAPALOOZA 2017, Bicom Systems unveiled the updated version of its tried-and-true UCaaS product suite for WISPs. New releases include Bicom’s desktop and mobile UC app, IPPBX UC platform, and Cloud Services Delivery platform. “We designed COMMSware with WISPS in mind,” said Stephen Wingfield of Bicom Systems, “so that you can add new technolo- gies like VoIP and UCaaS easily and affordably.” Wingfield further explained that “WISPS have a unique advantage over other companies – you already have a customer and product base. You are perfectly poised to jumpstart the growth of your business and market by adding new tech- nologies like unified communications.” The COMMSware UC product suite encom- passes all of the technology and services that companies such as WISPs need to expand, grow or even just get started, said the company. With seven natively integrating solutions, COMMSware includes a scalable business foundation, a feature-rich communications platform, a provi- sioning platform for billing and other operations, a UC desktop and mobile app, security, key systems, customer support and more. PBXware is a turnkey IP-PBX communica- tions platform designed for scalability, flexibility and reliability. Head developer of PBXware Sergej Kasumovic, explained that “PBXware 5.0 unites the latest technologies and in-house innovation in a brand new GUI. We are excited about the fresh design, but the real changes to PBXware are anything but superficial.” SERVERware, a virtualization platform dedi- cated to communications, is a Cloud IP Services Delivery Platform with 99.999% redundancy and an easy-to-use GUI administration. SERVER- ware 3.0 is a more powerful and functional update to its predecessor. In keeping pace with advancing technologies, SERVERware 3 devel- opers updated the underlying virtualization tech- nology to Linux Containers (LXC) and moved to Shared Storage in lieu of Duplication. But the icing on the Bicom cake, said the company, is its UC desktop and mobile app. The latest release of gloCOM is all about features and ease-of-use. The new desktop version includes improved voice quality for users on limited band- width, multi-device support and integration with a range of other applications. gloCOM GO is a mobile app available for iOS and Android. With more features than ever before, the latest version of gloCOM GO certainly lives up to its tagline of “your office in the palm of your hand.” Basic communica- tion capabilities have expanded to include transfers to another device, contact, or number, as well as voicemail and individual or group chat. One particu- larly interesting new feature is geo-location to auto- matically detect whether the user is in the office or elsewhere and adjust call behavior accordingly. m Bicom Systems is showcasing all seven of its unified communications products for WISPS at its WISPAPALOOZA 2017 booth #120.

Pink Day is also done to recognize and raise money for METAvivor (www.metavivor.org ), a research non-profit that directs 100 percent of all donations to competitive peer-reviewed research with the goal of ending death from metastatic breast cancer. The popular breast cancer fund- raising movements give on average only 2 to 5 percent of their research funds to researching metastasis, despite that 6 percent to 10 percent of initial breast cancer diagnoses are metastatic, while 100 percent of breast cancer deaths occur because of metastasis, and almost 100 percent of people whose breast cancer has metasta- sized will die from it. WISPAPALOOZA participants that would like to make a donation in honor of Pink Day can head to https://secure.metavivor.org/page/ contribute/Wispapalooza2017, with all proceeds going to METAvivor.
