Cohere Picks BroadSoft to Offer VoIP Services

VoIP application software provider BroadSoft Inc. (news - alert) was tapped by IP and Internet systems provider Cohere Communications (news - alert) of New York City to launch Broad Exchange Services (BxS), a VoIP service for the multi-site small and medium enterprise market. Cohere chose the BroadWorks VoIP application platform to launch the new VoIP offering. Cohere also expanded its BxS service offerings beyond the northeastern region of the United States to deliver services nationwide. “The VoIP services Cohere delivers meet the needs of small and medium enterprises, especially those with multiple office locations,” said Steven Francesco, CEO, Cohere Communications. “The BroadSoft VoIP application software lets us deliver the services our SME customers want, while allowing us to expand our portfolio to also offer wholesale services. When it was time to bring a platform in-house, the BroadWorks platform was the obvious choice for all our VoIP service offerings.” Cohere Communications and partner, Globalive, plan to migrate all VoIP customers to the BroadWorks platform from a previously deployed platform. BroadSoft’s IMS-compliant BroadWorks VoIP application platform provides a set of applications, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex, mobile PBX, business trunking and residential broadband services integrated into a single VoIP application platform. “Our customers’ success is the number one priority for us,” said BroadSoft’s chief executive officer Michael Tessler. “Cohere Communications has grown carefully into a standalone VoIP service provider, increasing both the depth and breadth of services they provide to SME and wholesale customers across the United States. Their focus on support and security, coupled with the processes they’ve put into place, allows Cohere Communications to deliver the highest quality VoIP services to their customer base.”
