VoIP is the new communications technology that is revolutionizing the way we work, or at least significantly reduce the cost of telephony to all sizes of businesses.

VegaStream VoIP Resources will help you make a more informed decision about how and when you will implement VoIP with your business.

VegaStream Sales Bulletins

Sales Bulletin #1

• What to do if your customer will not change his existing PABX but
  he wants to use VoIP services?
  • In this bulletin, we discuss how IP gateways can be used as a viable alternative at your customer premises and how it can offer all the benefits of IP Telephony without any of the pain or disruption to your customer’s business.

Sales Bulletin #2

• Does your customer have concerns about Emergency Calls & VoIP?
  • This bulletin describes that, as partners, we are all aware of the benefits of VoIP yet, in the minds of our customers, there are still a number of concerns about what happens with calls to EMERGENCY SERVICES particularly if there are BROADBAND OUTAGES or POWERFAIL conditions.

Sales Bulletin #3

• One of the main challenges with selling VOIP into small businesses is that the engineering costs can take all the profit out of a deal. 
  • This bulletin talks about the problems caused by routers that do not support QoS and describes how Vega products can be used to prioritise voice over data, leaving the router untouched, dramatically reducing installation time.

Sales Bulletin #4

• VoIP telephony has emerged victorious in the data/voice integration revolution and offers its users high functionality at an affordable price. However, people are often concerned that this comes at a price and that there is no substitute for the safety and security of traditional telephony networks.
  • In Sales Bulletin #4, we help show how you can overcome such objections and make sure your customer is confident with the solution.

Sales Bulletin #5

• Teleworking is rapidly becoming acceptable for employers who require a more flexible, scalable and secure solution for remote and home-based employees, who are found to be 25% more productive than their office-based colleagues.
  • Our fifth bulleting describes one of the main disadvantages as the cost of implementation; how some PABX manufacturers promote a complete 'Rip and Replace' approach with huge costs and upheaval to customers...

What Our Customers Say

"The VegaStream products exceeded our requirements in terms of functionality, reliability, ease of configuration and value," says Stefan Stefanov, Orbitel's CTO

Speaking of the Vega 400 “TMC Labs was impressed with the performance, voice quality, ease of administration, and adherence to appropriate standards, by the Vega 400. We would not hesitate to recommend it.”

"Business customers expect an open standards approach that enables them to realise the benefits of VoIP without the expense and disruption of being forced to discard or replace its existing network elements. VegaStream's proven interoperability with all the main PBX manufacturers means that we can deliver VoIP services to our customers and help them to realize a rapid return on investment."
Sam Mullin Senior Director Engineering and Systems Development, Primus Telecom

“We chose the VegaStream gateways for their very powerful dial planner software. It not only makes the decisions about IP routing, but it can also handle presentation and billing information. The alternative solutions on the market are more cumbersome requiring us to build and maintain complex one-to-one translation tables.”
Steve Rudman, Director, Customer & Business Applications at Evoxus
