FierceVoIP Names Fonolo As One Of The "Fierce 15" VoIP Companies Of 2008
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fonolo announced today that it has been named to the annual FierceVoIP "Fierce 15" list, designating it as one of the top IP communications companies of the year. FierceVoIP editors evaluated hundreds of organizations, and found Fonolo to be amongst the "fiercest," proven by its creativity and innovation in the marketplace.
FierceVoIP, an internationally recognized twice-weekly e-mail newsletter reaching more than 45,000 senior IP communications industry executives, provides readers in more than 100 countries with a quick, authoritative briefing on the day's top VoIP stories, including new trends and technologies.
Fonolo has developed ground-breaking services that make it faster and less frustrating to call large companies. For anyone tired of navigating lengthy phone menus—"Press 1 for service, press 2 for sales..."—Fonolo's "Deep Dialing" feature will be a welcome relief. Deep Dialing lets users navigate phone menus visually and click to reach any point in that menu. Fonolo's "Intelligent Call History" feature tracks all the calls a user makes to a particular company, regardless of which phone is used, and automatically organizes them along with notes and recordings. Anyone interested in participating in Fonolo's closed beta is invited to sign-up at www.fonolo.com.
"We are thrilled to be recognized by FierceVoIP, one of the industry's leading sources of news," said Fonolo CEO Shai Berger. "The IP communications community depends on FierceVoIP to provide the most up-to-date news along with analysis of major industry trends. It is an honor to be recognized by such a well-regarded news outlet."
Since being unveiled 8 months ago, Fonolo has received several awards and overwhelmingly positive coverage from both the mainstream and industry press. "The enthusiastic response tells me that we are addressing a pain point felt deeply by a wide range of people," said Berger.
The FierceVoIP "Fierce 15" celebrates the spirit of being "fierce"—championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition. The complete list of winning companies is available today on the FierceVoIP Web site at http://www.fiercevoip.com/.
