New Cloud Solution Provides One-Stop Computing and Voice Services for the Desktop
RightOffice can save customers 50% or more in capital and operating costs
TRAVERSE CITY, MI and HOUSTON, TX -- Two leaders in cloud
computing - Appia Communications and Virtual-Q - today announced
RightOffice, a solution that combines Microsoft Windows 7 and
Microsoft Office 2010 with business-class VoIP. The solution
reduces capital and operating costs and simplifies IT and telecom
administration.
"RightOffice delivers the latest Microsoft operating system and
productivity software, along with a world-class phone system for
one, low cost per user per month," said Matt Siemens, Vice
President of Marketing for Appia Communications. "The result is a
substantial savings in capital and operating expenses. RightOffice
also frees IT staff from the drudgery of desktop support, enabling
them to focus on what matters most to the bottom line."
"Users can access their desktops and applications using almost
any platform, including laptops, desktops, iPads, or smartphones,"
said Sanjay Upadhyaya, CMO and Vice President of Strategic
Alliances with Virtual-Q. "RightOffice voice services can either
work with a customer's existing office phone system or replace that
system with an advanced hosted IP-PBX. By putting the heavy lifting
in the cloud, customers reduce the need for equipment refresh,
lower support costs, and improve data security."
RightOffice includes two main components, RightVoice and
RightComputing.
"RightVoice is an advanced phone system whose
features include unified messaging, fax-to-email, and find-me
follow-me," continued Siemens. RightVoice supports local,
toll-free, domestic and international long distance, directory
assistance, and 911 services. If customers have multiple locations,
interoffice calls are free of charge.
"RightComputing delivers a hosted desktop with
as many CPUs and as much memory as your applications require,
allowing applications to run up to 1,000 times faster," said
Upadhyaya. RightComputing includes Windows 7, the latest version of
Microsoft Office, support for existing customer Windows or Linux
applications, daily data backups, and integration with existing
peripherals such as printers and scanners.
