Running a business can be very challenging, and one of the challenges is implementing a communications strategy that satisfies both clients and employees. Business communications has evolved to where it’s no longer necessary to be on-site at work to place and answer calls. This means presenting your business to clients in a professional manner while offering work flexibility to your employees is paramount to your company’s success.

Today we announced a round-up of recent recognitions related to our channel efforts! Two of these recognitions come from CRN, a top tier news source for solution providers and the IT channel.  With CRN, we were selected for inclusion in their 2014 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide and the 2014 Network Connectivity Services Partner Program Guide. Additionally, the Voxox Channel Partner Program was just named the runner-up in the Unified Communications category of the TMCnet Internet Telephony Channel Program Excellence Awards.

We are thrilled to announce that our Voxox app has been selected as a Gold Winner of the 2014 Golden Bridge Awards for outstanding innovation in consumer products and services in telecom, cable, broadband, and voice. The annual Golden Bridge Awards program recognizes and honors the world's best in organizational performance, products and services, innovations, and much more – from every major industry in the world.

Today we announced not one, not two, but three promotions within our business sales and channel team -- Voxox’s Joann Farrar, formerly senior channel manager, is now our VP, agent channel; Joe Schiavone, formerly national channel manager, is now our VP, dealer channel; and our fearless channel partner program leader, Tad Nikolich, formerly VP of business sales, is now SVP business sales. These changes are a reflection of the continued growth of our channel program and we are thrilled to have these three terrific team members leading the charge! 

Yes, the government can listen to your phone conversations. They can record them too. But unless you’re saying something really interesting to some really interesting people, they probably aren’t. Call it “national security insurance.”

My sister (I may have mentioned her before) loves to communicate. As a teenager in the 1970s, she would talk on the phone for hours. Literally. She is a great communicator and has always been extremely social. She makes friends easily and is always the last one to leave the party.

So I was surprised at how difficult it was to get her to text. She just didn’t recognize the necessity. It wasn’t a cost issue. There are great apps, like Voxox, that let you text for free. Why would this extreme extrovert want to limit her communication options?

In today’s fast paced business environment, small businesses need an edge. Fortunately, it's relatively easy for a brand new business to look and sound like a big business with a solid website, business cards, and brochures. All this is possible thanks to the technological advancements in the last ten years.

Coming off of a great week at CTIA’s Super Mobility Show in Las Vegas where I connected with some of the top minds in the mobility space, I was thrilled to learn that the Voxox consumer app won 3^rd place in CTIA’s Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Awards in the Mobile Cloud category.

The E-Tech Awards represent the most innovative and cutting-edge emerging mobile services, solutions and technology and we are honored to be acknowledged by the organization. Along with CTIA’s two other awards programs, Hot for the Holidays and MobITs Awards, there were almost 300 entries submitted and scored by more than 50 industry experts, analysts and media.

Here are some words you never want to hear when you’re in a college relationship and it’s time to register for the next semester: “Babe, I’m going to an out-of-state school this semester.”

First, there’s the distinct feeling that you just swallowed a huge rock. Then, your panicked response: “You’re going to school … out of state? What about us?”

In today’s economy, small to medium sized businesses are looking for ways to decrease their costs without compromising quality or service. One of the fastest ways to accomplish this is to revisit how much your organization is paying for your business phone service. Instead of making and receiving phone calls through traditional copper wires courtesy of the phone company, a cloud-based solution allows your organization to communicate over the internet. With Voxox you can save up to 60% off your business phone bill by moving your small business phone system to our cloud based solution. There are many advantages with a cloud based small business phone system.
