Birch Adds to TotalCloud PBX Line

PRESS RELEASE — ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Birch Communications, Inc., (“Birch”) a leading cloud communications, network and IT solutions provider to small, mid-sized, enterprise and wholesale businesses, announced the release of TotalCloud® PBX Hub, which is available on the company’s TotalCloud PBX Platform and includes collaboration features that allow end-users to make and receive calls from any device as if they were in the office. Birch also announced a new release of its TotalCloud PBX product suite with targeted Cloud communications solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB).

Today’s businesses face a variety of challenges, the greatest of these being communication. It is imperative to share knowledge and information quickly to enable decisions on day-to-day logistics and delivery of vital information to prospects, customers, and suppliers. In this age of advanced technologies, businesses can no longer expect their employees to be highly productive through multiple disjointed communications methods, conference calls, landlines, cell phones, instant messaging and email without better ways to manage these channels of communication.

“This rollout of the TotalCloud PBX Hub app and the product structure are part of our continued service offerings for our customers,” said Tony Tomae, President and CEO at Birch. “This continues to be a very exciting time for Birch. We want our customers to see us as a partner in their business, and to achieve this we will continue to provide a terrific enablement program, support teams, and product mix.”{ad}

TotalCloud PBX combines all unified communications and collaboration (UCC) tools into a single virtual meeting “room” and eliminates the need to send cumbersome bridge numbers and passcodes – making it easy for groups to meet, chat, share desktops, and talk via audio and video conferencing. The service enables “find me/follow me” functionality that will simultaneously ring all devices and allow the user to make an outbound call from smartphones without sharing private phone numbers – all from the new TotalCloud PBX Hub app. This “always on” service transparently transitions from one cloud network node to another for continuous connectivity. Likewise, in the event of a local service outage, the phone system is designed to default to mobile solutions, providing an immediate backup solution.

Birch announced a variety of solution offerings within this expansion. These offerings are targeted for multiple business types, focusing on providing customers the “right-sized” solution for their business. Birch’s design team will assist the customer in choosing the correct mix of …
