International Intellectual Property Law Firm Selects Cypress Communications’ Hosted VoIP Solution

Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel LLP Selects C4 IP™ from Cypress Communications for its hosted delivery model and unified messaging capabilities.

Atlanta (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 10, 2008 -- Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel LLP, an international intellectual property law firm, announced today that they have implemented the award-winning C4 IP hosted VoIP and unified communications solution from Cypress Communications. Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel chose C4 IP for its unified messaging capabilities and the inherent cost savings of a hosted delivery model.

Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel operated as a part of a larger law firm in Philadelphia but became a separate entity that focused exclusively on intellectual property law at the beginning of 2008. “We considered buying and maintaining the phone system we had been using at the larger firm, but the total cost of ownership was way too high. Just the annual maintenance was cost prohibitive at $48,000 a year,” said Timothy Back, IT manager at Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel. “Plus we needed unified messaging, and our premises-based system just couldn’t deliver this functionality.”

With the decision to ditch their former phone system solidified, Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel faced a major time crunch; they needed a provider who could deliver all of their feature requirements — and deliver them fast. “We only had about 60 days to make our communications decision, get the new system installed and our users trained; that’s just not a lot of time to play with,” Back continued. “Cypress Communications was the only provider that could deliver a complete solution with the functionality we required and implement it according to our tight schedule and all without costing us a fortune in capital expense.”

Cypress Communications provided Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel with C4 IP, an enterprise-class hosted VoIP and unified communications solution that features integrated voice and data access, desktop phones, soft phones, unified messaging and cutting-edge multimedia applications such as Microsoft® Outlook integration, collaboration, real-time presence, chat, as well as audio, video and Web conferencing. And since C4 IP is a fully hosted VoIP solution, there’s no capital investment, no ongoing maintenance fees, and no need to hire and train additional IT staff to manage the infrastructure — saving firms substantial costs in time, money and personnel resources.

“Cypress has been delivering enterprise communications for over 20 years, managing everything from the phone on the desk all the way through our private network,” said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress Communications. “When we began working with Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel and assessing their needs, we knew that our experience and expertise combined with the features and functionality of C4 IP matched perfectly with their needs.”
