“We definitely were looking for a modern, elegant VoIP platform with one, unified interface that would integrate with our virtualization to simplify administration and improve the ways we can all communicate.” 

— Joel Wolfe, Director of Information Services, J-W Energy Company

J-W Energy Company had been using a VoIP hybrid architecture and phone systems to provide traditional and Voice over IP (VoIP) services. When their needs had outgrown the capability of their current hardware solution, J-W Energy Company explored new IP telephony solutions.
