Pansmart, an authorized distributor for Panasonic voice, CCTV and video products in South Africa has invited all 3rd party vendors to join them in embracing open standards by testing and certifying their products and networks with the Panasonic voice platforms.
“Panasonic offers reliable, cost-effective and flexible communications platforms to businesses of all sizes, and unlike some of our competitors, we are not going to lock customers into closed-garden architectures. Businesses no longer want to be told what they can and can’t use. We live in a world where interoperability is embraced, and we want to extend this culture to our voice platforms,” says Louis Fourie, MD of Pansmart.
“Legacy telephony platforms hold business captive with proprietary systems which are complex, inflexible, costly, and offer very little choice to users. Next generation VoIP has open broken this spell thanks to the drive towards open standards. What this means to businesses specifically using our products is that they can choose which network provider they want to integrate with, and how they wish to integrate. On the device side, clients have the flexibility to bring their handset with them, or choose from a wide range of products, even from different vendors,” says Fourie.
“This broadens the playing field and allows businesses to mix and match in ways that they haven’t been able to before, and this is where the real value lies. Choice. Choice. Choice. We want to be known for choice, and want to back up our approach to interoperability by certifying these 3rd party vendors so that the solution is bilaterally supported.”
“We are calling on all 3rd party vendors to bring their VoIP networks, their SIP devices and Peripherals and integrate with us – at no cost to you. We have setup lab platforms which can be deployed within our own facility, or taken offsite to the network provider. Join us, in the interest of our current and future customers, to expand the horizon and truly free businesses from proprietary systems,” concludes Fourie.
Pansmart is situated in Midrand, South Africa and Louis Fourie can be contacted directly on 010 010 6777 or via email on [email protected] for any queries relating to this interoperability testing opportunity.
