ATLANTA----Timberland Investment Resources, LLC, TIR a registered investment
adviser and Timberland Investment Management Organization TIMO
dedicated to producing superior, risk-adjusted timberland returns for
its clients, announced today that they have selected C4 IP from Cypress
Communications as their hosted VoIP solution. C4 IP is a fully managed
voice, data and Internet solution that enables users to connect,
communicate, collaborate and continue.
TIR selected C4 IP to help their employees maintain constant
communication; the company has four satellite offices and a number of
field employees with critical communication needs. For example, if an
emergency situation occurred in the field, TIR’s
employees would require quick, yet flexible, communications. Due to TIR’s
continual, rapid growth, they also required a solution that could evolve
and adapt to their changing business needs.
“Our business needed a solution that would
eliminate our communication run around time—the
phone and email tag that kept us from being as productive as we could
be. Since many of our employees travel extensively between our offices
and the field, we have had to call as many as three phone numbers before
we could locate them, slowing our business down immensely,”
said Molly Darnell, director of business operations at Timberland
Investment Resources. “With C4 IP from
Cypress, we will have visibility into who is at their desk or on the
phone in real-time. Also, with the ability to forward calls based on
different scenarios we can program different call routing sequences for
office hours, after hours and holidays. The benefit to us is that when
traveling, our team members can simply forward their calls to cell
phones or voicemail, eliminating the need for our receptionist to spend
countless hours tracking them down. This will be a real timesaver,”
continued Darnell.
C4 IP is an enterprise-class, hosted VoIP solution that enables
companies to remain flexible and communicate efficiently whether users
are in the office or on the go. C4 IP streamlines and enhances
communications by integrating with the user’s
Cypress-provided IP desktop phone and acting as the interface to the
multimedia functionality of C4 IP—presence,
chat, point-to-point video calling, file sharing, collaboration, and Web
conferencing. The Presence feature improves productivity by allowing
users to view the availability of coworkers via status icons, such as out
of the office or on the phone. C4 IP is also adaptable,
allowing companies to scale up or down as their business grows and
changes. Because there is no capital expense, companies also eliminate
the risk of equipment obsolescence.
“C4 IP was designed to enable companies to
get more from their communication dollar. C4 IP minimizes total cost of
ownership by allowing companies to utilize the most cutting-edge
communication and collaboration tools available today without the
capital outlay and overhead associated with implementing Voice over IP
technology,” said Frank Grillo, executive
vice president of enterprise services, Cypress Communications. “We
understand that the way your company looks today doesn’t
necessarily mirror what your company will look like in a year. That is
why we offer a hosted solution that can be easily tailored to your
unique, ever-changing business,” added Grillo.
