HOSTED SOLUTION OPTIONS
While WebCall's flagship product, PortaSwitch, is the ideal solution for medium- to large-size ITSPs and other enterprises, who can reap the full advantages of its unlimited license, the more limited needs - and budgets - of smaller service providers make purchasing a proprietary license less than optimal.
This is where hosted (ASP) services come in, giving small customers a low-cost, risk-free point of entry to the complete range of PortaOne services, while offering an attractive form of additional revenue to license holders. With a PortaSwitch hosted solution, IP telephony operators can enjoy the full benefits of advanced routing, billing and monitoring functions via a multilingual web interface, without the need to purchase and maintain sophisticated equipment.
