Email, company-wide Calendar and Contacts, Audio Conferencing, Web
Collaboration, Desktop Share, Inbound Call Center, Business Secure IM and
SMS Messaging, as well as Unified Presence and Mobility with a
presence-based intelligent message routing among multiple messaging
systems, saving over 75% in monthly expenses over separately priced service
offerings.
"PanTerra Networks has proven they are committed to quality and excellence
while addressing real needs in the marketplace. Unified Communications is
pleased to grant a 2008 Product of the Year Award to their WorldSmart
suites," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of Unified
