RYE BROOK, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Broadview Networks announced today that the Telecommunications
Association (TA) voted the company a 2010 “Top 5 Provider of Hosted
VoIP” services in its annual ‘Members Choice’ poll of the best TA
vendors.

In addition to honors for OfficeSuite™, Broadview’s hosted IP phone
solution for business users, TA members also recognized Broadview as a “Top
10 CLEC” and as a “Top 10 Integrated Access” provider. The
complete list of award winners in 26 categories can be found at TA
Vote 2010.

Broadview continues to garner accolades for its products, services and
partner programs. It was named a Top
50 Channel Program by Phone+/Channel Partners magazine in
2010, and was cited as one of the Top
75 Coolest Telecom Service Providers by CRN. OfficeSuite
is Broadview’s flagship hosted IP phone solution and provides businesses
with everything an organization needs to communicate over the phone and
online, typically with no capital investment. It includes a complete
“cloud-based” hosted phone system including phones, more than 40 calling
features, an intuitive and simple-to-use Web portal to manage the
service, and a robust calling plan that users at a given site share.
Businesses also can easily add Broadview’s FrontLine™ MPLS service to
securely connect locations in a fully meshed and QoS-enabled data
network.

The Telecommunications
Association is a membership organization of 3,800 telecom agents,
value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs),
distributors, consultants and auditors that recommend and distribute
telecom, data and IT technology products and solutions to businesses.
Each year members are invited to vote on the best vendors in multiple
categories.

“Broadview is delighted to be recognized by the members of the
Telecommunications Association, not only for the company’s OfficeSuite
hosted IP phone solution and Integrated
Access products, but also for being named as a top 10 competitive
LEC/communications service provider. Businesses are presented with many
choices for telecom services by the growing field of providers and
resellers, so to be acknowledged by such an august group is highly
gratifying,” said Rob Westervelt, senior vice president of Channel
Partner Sales for Broadview Networks.

TA’s voting members are heavily experienced technology industry
consultants and channel sales partners that have compared all the
highest rated and affordable vendors against one another before
recommending one or two to their business clients, who view TA’s members
as trusted advisors. Having qualified voting members select TA’s vendors
as their choice indicates that they are both trusted and proven in their
respective category.
