Accelerate Your Business With the Power of the Cloud
PHILADELPHIA, PA & WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 12, 2010 –
Alteva, a Unified Communications (UC) solution provider headquartered in Philadelphia, today announced that CEO William Bumbernick will speak at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC 2010), July 11-15th in Washington, D.C. Bumbernick will join other top executives from the hosting industry and Microsoft’s key hosted software marketing experts on a US hosting panel discussion titled, “Accelerate Your Business With Cloud Computing,” Thursday, July 15th, 1:30-2:30pm.
Recurring revenue models of hosted software can provide tremendous opportunity to expand your systems integration or hardware business. Several technology trends are turning into compelling options for customers including UC and collaboration, virtualized infrastructure, SaaS, cloud, and remote management. This panel session will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about the realities of working with companies like Microsoft and Alteva, and other Microsoft hosting partners, and how to build businesses by utilizing and connecting their services to the cloud.
“Recent initiatives from vendors and service providers to bring enterprise hosted UC solutions to the SMB community are enabling small businesses to be more agile and more competitive,” said Bumbernick. “Hosted or cloud-based solutions average a 75 percent reduction in startup expenses, so while smaller firms are still on tighter budgets, businesses can still afford enterprise-class communications thanks to the power of cloud based technologies.”
