DSCI Deploys 20,000 BroadWorks-Powered Hosted Seats

A provider of IP telephony and unified communications to the Northeast region of the U.S., DSCI Corp., has deployed nearly 20,000 hosted seats, powered by BroadWorks.

David Bukovsky, vice president of products at BroadSoft, said that DSCI has brought a feature-rich and affordable hosted PBX (News - Alert) offering anchored by BroadWorks platform to the Northeast market.

Provided by BroadSoft, the BroadWorks voice application server is the underlying application software for DSCI’s iPBX Hosted Communications Service, a hosted communications service.

“We selected the BroadWorks platform for iPBX because it offers a comprehensive set of features and add-on applications to meet our needs and those of our customers,” said Rick Girardin, vice president of network engineering at DSCI, adding that in addition, BroadWorks continues to grow and evolve along with DSCI’s vision for the future.

A global provider of software, BroadSoft (News - Alert) enables mobile, fixed-line and cable service providers to deliver real-time communications over their IP networks. The firm’s BroadWorks platform delivers several benefits to DSCI’s business customers, including a broad range of unified communications (UC) services such as video, voice, hosted call center, conferencing, messaging and mobility, for businesses and consumers worldwide.

With BroadWorks, DSCI can easily manage voice and unified communications services to provide enterprise customers with a uniform, integrated offering. A hosted solution BroadWorks delivers a broad range of UC services from a single system, including hosted PBX, instant messaging and presence, Web collaboration, videoc onferencing and mobile device integration.
