Springfield, MA – Thing5, the leader in SIP trunking and hosted PBX for the hospitality industry, announced today that it has completed another brand-wide deployment bringing itstotal in-production sites to almost 3,000 hotels utilizing its SIP trunking and hosted PBX platform.
Thing5 recently completed the deployment of its SIP trunking solution at over 200 properties for one of the largest and best-known brands in the hospitality industry. Thing5’s SIP trunking has reduced the hotel company’s monthly telecommunications bill for its 200+ corporate-owned properties from six figures to under $50,000 per month. Thing5’s solution has stripped out significant operating costs by allowing the client to cancel bloated, traditional telecommunications services and streamlined their monthly billing.
Thing5’s momentum continues with another major installation underway at one of the top five largest brands in the industry. The project includes implementing Thing5’s services to upgrade the hotelier’s telecommunications at its corporate headquarters, call center and over 300 properties. The implementation of Thing5 services at its corporate headquarters and two of its call centers has been successfully completed, and will be closely followed by the deployment of Thing5 services at its properties.
Thing5’s enterprise solution utilizes burstable IP trunking; this enables on-demand sharing of under-utilized trunk capacity. Thing5 clients take advantage of its fixed rate calling, reducing their monthly telecommunications expense immediately – in most case by 40-60%. Thing5’s hosted PBX eliminates the significant capital expense associated with buying new or replacement PBX equipment. With Thing5’s solution, applications such as voicemail, automatic call distribution, audio conferencing and instant messaging are hosted in geographically redundant data centers rather than by the clients, and delivered as managed Internet protocol (IP)
services over the Web, helping to control setup and operational costs. Thing5 provides its hosted PBX platform via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
