Mexico's Leading Home Builder Engineers Growth With AltiGen Unified Communications Solution
System Expansion Has Surpassed 50 Locations and 1,500 Extensions
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 3, 2009) - AltiGen Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATGN), a
leading provider of 100 percent Microsoft-based VoIP business phone systems
and unified communications solutions, today announced that it has now been
deployed in more than 50 locations for Mexico's largest home builder.
URBI Desarrollos Urbanos S.A. de C.V. is a leader in Mexico's housing
sector with more than 300,000 homes built to date. The company focuses on
Northern Mexico, which contains the country's highest population growth.
URBI has driven rapid growth by utilizing state-of-the-art technology and
enjoys some of the highest profits in Mexico's home building industry.
"The aggressive expansion that URBI is executing demands technology that is
flexible, scalable and cost effective," said Tim Tolman, Managing Partner
of San Diego-based Digital I/O. "As URBI's technology partner, we designed
an integrated solution that leverages and extends the company's data
infrastructure. AltiGen's software-based communication solution allows for
rapid growth with minimal support overhead."
In implementing AltiGen, URBI was able to:
-- Integrate all business locations across the country
-- Route internal calls across the company's MPLS Network for significant
savings
-- Enable the company's IT staff to centrally manage all locations
-- Provide a modular, reliable and cost-efficient model for rapid
deployment
-- Enhance communications with a reliable nationwide dialing plan
-- Utilize VoIP over wireless to provide reliable communications in areas
where telecommunications infrastructure doesn't exist
-- Improve performance using advanced applications such as AltiGen's
integrated IP-based conference bridge and intelligent call routing
The solution is deployed using AltiGen's integrated application gateway.
The servers provide local dial tone connectivity, intelligent routing
through the company's MPLS network and integrated applications such as
voice mail, auto attendant, call routing and conferencing. Systems
communicate and synchronize automatically over the company's data network.
"AltiGen's scalable, integrated IP communications solution is a natural fit
for companies with multiple branch offices, as evidenced by URBI's growing
deployment," said Michael Curry, AltiGen's Manager of International
Channels. "Enabling companies to truly integrate communications across the
enterprise while centrally managing the system is one of the primary
strengths of the AltiGen solution."
"By utilizing AltiGen's unique integrated design, we are able to provide
seamless communications across the country while ensuring cost effective,
stand alone survivability in the event of a dial tone or network outage,"
added Tolman. "The initial investment was rapidly recovered from the
savings we were able to realize for the client."
