Darren Knapp is a Key Accounts Manager at Polycom who discusses the growing VoIP market and why physical phones are still important for hosted UC solutions. He notes the VoIP market is expected to grow to $9.35 billion by 2019. While management often wants to consolidate devices, many end users prefer physical phones for their audio quality, ease of use, and ability to complete a work space. Polycom's VVX phones address this need by offering more features at a lower price point than other solutions. Knapp emphasizes that the device matters and partners should offer a great solution like the VVX.
Our goal with digital marketing is to make sure we are helping our partners generate new business leads. There are 240 million Internet users in the U.S., with 16 billion searches conducted on the top search engines every month. 85% of those users believe the businesses that appear at the top on the first page of a search are the best. Another important point: 2 out of 10 searches have local intent — users are looking for things in their own backyard.
Two key digital marketing tactics that will help your business show up more often, and closer to the top, are SEM and SEO. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the quickest way to reach new customers looking for your services. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of your website (or a specific web page) in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results.
It is widely known that a business can save up to 50% in OPEX/CAPEX by moving to a Hosted Unified Communication solution. What is not commonly discussed are all the additional savings a company will realize as the direct result of Hosted UC productivity, mobility and collaboration. David Byrd, ANPI CMO, presents the facts and figures associated with these and other benefits that show how much more a company can save when making the switch. And how you can use this information to accelerate closing the sale.
Session presented at OPASTCO Winter Convention 2012
This panel of industry experts discussed the recent and sustained surge of call completion issues plaguing rural America. Rural subscribers continue to suffer from incoming calls that fail before ever reaching their local telephone companies' networks, or calls that complete but have extremely poor voice or fax quality. Numerous organizations have been working with the FCC and others in an attempt to mitigate these problems. Dave Lewis, CEO of ANPI ZONE, provided an update on these efforts and on other steps being taken to achieve resolution.
The number of US households experiencing problems with Internet Security, PC Hardware/Software and Home Networking are 41.3M, 21.7M and 10.8M respectively. The opportunity for enhancing your customers’ experience through services that personally protect their systems and data, also serves to protect and enhance their perception of your ISP network’s value and quality.
ISP partners find that the SecureIT Services not only increase their revenue, but decrease their expenses by reducing the number of virus and spyware related technical support calls.

Frank Ohrtman recently completed writing $27 million worth of Broadband Stimulus grants for entities who will compete with rural telcos, and shared his insights from that experience in this Webinar.
He notes that wireless broadband enables:

* Voice services that qualify for USF funds you might be receiving; and
* “Shovel ready” deployment schedules that cover thousands of square miles in less than a year.
