The 50 millionth call was places by
STORServer, a technology company in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Officials from that company say they were looking for reliable, flexible, cost-effective and easy-to-use business communications system. In the past, STOServer’s employees had individual accounts with a consumer VoIP services provider, coupled with a hardware PBX at headquarters, so that every phone in headquarters would ring when a call came. A receptionist then used an intercom system to announce the incoming call and the name of the employee for whom call was meant.

OnSIP from Junction Networks helps STORServer to directly dial or transfer the calls to each employee’s four-digit extension no matter where the employee may be located. It also allows headquarters employees to bridge seamlessly to their home offices.
