“Lucent’s solution will enable us to offer VoIP and hosted IP telephony services to our customers on a single network, offering them new applications and giving us new revenue opportunities, greater efficiency, and cost savings,” says Bob Moore, senior vice president of IT and next-generation switching for PAETEC.

PAETEC also plans to use Lucents Market Advantage Program, which helps customers and partners with marketing.
