Reliability, cost savings and local service cited as top factors in decision

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/06/2007 -- FeatureTel, North Carolina's premier hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone company for businesses, today announced a new addition to the company's high profile client list. Durham based Dealers Supply Company, a national floor coverings wholesaler, has selected FeatureTel as its exclusive telephone systems and services provider.

FeatureTel specializes in fully-hosted, remote VoIP implementations for high-growth companies. In addition to standard business telephone features like voicemail, caller ID, conferencing, call logging, and automated attendant, FeatureTel clients utilize advanced features like web-based call management, find-me/follow-me, customized hold messages, remote voicemail notification and global extension dialing. Client phone systems are kept safe in an off-site carrier grade hosting facility. Therefore, regardless of power outages or other business interruption conditions, FeatureTel clients are assured of guaranteed call delivery.

As a national wholesale flooring provider, uninterrupted call center communication is a critical component in driving Dealers Supply's customer satisfaction and sales growth. "We initially chose a national telephony solutions provider for our business," said Russell Barringer, CEO of Dealers Supply. "However, when we began to experience ongoing performance issues with them, we decided to switch to a local VoIP provider. We chose FeatureTel because of their successful track record with Triangle businesses. FeatureTel really knows how to do it right; they have been, hands down, 1,000 times better than our previous provider."

In addition to delivering cost effective and scalable telephony solutions, FeatureTel recognizes that responsive, consistent customer service is the key to maintaining lasting relationships within the North Carolina business community.

According to Paul Levering, President and CEO of FeatureTel, LLC, "Dealers Supply Company is the perfect candidate for the FeatureTel solution. Their call center agents are dispersed around the country, and are receiving tens of thousands of minutes a month of inbound calls. We developed a powerful one stop solution that provides Dealers Supply with a state of the art phone system with guaranteed call delivery at a lower upfront and monthly cost than a traditional phone system."

Telephony provider reroutes city’s VoIP market with enterprise grade, private connection-based, hosted solution

Releigh, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/12/2007 -- FeatureTel, a premier hosted VoIP provider, today announced it has expanded into the Charlotte market with a fully operational point of presence. The company has partnered with Pro Systems, a computer and network services company, to offer FeatureTel's flagship solution, FUSION, to Charlotte businesses. Unlike other Internet-based telephony services currently available in Charlotte, FUSION is an enterprise grade, private-connection-based, hosted VoIP service. It offers clients the benefits of business continuity, thanks to its bunkered, hosted model, as well as unmatched Quality of Service (QOS) due to its private connection approach.

Quality of service (QOS), something that had been largely taken for granted when public switched network was the only option in telephony, has become a key concern for enterprises considering a switch to VoIP. Distorted audio and frequent disconnects that tend to take place at times when public Internet traffic is most intense rank highly among these organizations' fears. Luckily for FUSION customers, they are protected from the shortcomings of Internet telephony, as their calls are routed to a private connection.

"We are proud to continue to expand the footprint of our FUSION service," commented Paul Levering, CEO of FeatureTel. "We strongly believe that operating a private connection is the key to ensuring hosted VoIP quality of service (QOS)," he added.

In addition to one-of-a kind QOS, FeatureTel's Charlotte customers will also benefit from the fact that FUSION is a hosted VoIP service. This means that the telephony system is not located at the customer's office, but instead in a secure building with redundant power supplies, carriers and servers. Business continuity is therefore ensured even in the face of unforeseen events that could affect power supplies and access to physical offices. In those instances, FeatureTel will reroute calls to individual cell phones or alternative locations. The company's Triangle customers have recently experienced the benefits of a hosted technology first hand, when a chemical fire shut down most of the town of Apex.

"Pro Systems is excited to be partnering with FeatureTel and reselling this premium VoIP solution to Charlotte businesses," said Gary Hutchins, President of Pro Systems. "After using FeatureTel's products for over a year, we look forward to marketing FUSION in the Charlotte area."
