LONDON -- Fujitsu Services today announced the launch of its new Voice over IP (VoIP) offering for medium to large companies. The Managed VoIP Service from Fujitsu will provide a low cost and efficient way to complement or replace traditional phone systems, leading to better range of services and greater organisational flexibility. In contrast to traditional high capital spend models available, Fujitsu’s VoIP service is offered at a price Per User Per Month (PUPM) model which guarantees predictable expenditure.
The new solution, available in June 2006, will enable businesses to adopt VoIP with the minimum amount of risk and cost. Fujitsu’s PUPM scheme means that the standard VoIP service costs just £21pcm along with a monthly handset charge of between £4 - £15 according to the customer’s need and a one-off install fee of £25 per desk. Therefore, the scheme requires minimal capital investment and will cut business telephony costs by up to approximately 30%. It includes all internal, UK external fixed, and mobile calls, a full voicemail service, a helpdesk and unlimited moves and changes to the system.
Stuart Ebdon, head of vendor strategy, at Fujitsu Services said: “While VoIP services are hitting the mainstream, businesses are being stung by company’s charging unnecessary and over inflated costs associated with implementation, this is why we introduced our transparent costing plan to give the opportunity of VoIP to as many companies as possible. Having worked with the majority of the world’s carriers, Fujitsu is in a strong position to undertake such a project for companies, we have over 70 years of telecommunications experience and the staff expertise and desire to deliver the best possible service.”
