Image{pp}(Cape Town, South Africa, November 1, 2006) Many people now use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to make low cost international calls from home using their computer. However, business managers have been much more reluctant to take advantage of this medium. They cite poor sound quality, the risk of the network crashing, and the potentially huge expense of installing a completely new telephone system as the main reasons for not converting their company to VoIP.
Even Flow Distribution has found the solution to these problems – the Quadro range of IP-PBXs produced by Epygi Technologies.  Designed for organisations with branch offices, offices with up to 66 extensions, teleworkers and home office workers, the Quadros provide secure, feature-packed equipment at a realistic price. “They provide the sound quality and all the features you would expect from a top-of-the-range business telephone system, such as voicemail and advanced receptionist services,” said Adrian Bush, Managing Director of Even Flow, “While benefiting from the low cost of Internet calls.  And all this in one, easy to use, stand alone box!”Thoroughly tried and tested, the Quadros are compatible with most currently available phones and systems.  This means that resellers and integrators can provide their customers with tailored packages including phones and service provider connection. Another huge benefit to resellers and integrators is the ease of setup of the Epygi – within minutes customers are able to start taking advantage of the feature rich Epygi IP PBX.    “A feature that really impresses customers is the integral backup, traditional telephone line in the Quadro system.” commented Bush.  “Not only does this ensure that the company’s communications remain functioning if there is a problem with their Internet link, but it also enables them to continue using their current telephone-based credit card authorisation and security alarm systems.  The Quadro’s built-in firewall also protects the company’s datacoms.”“It really is an ‘All in One Box’ solution and the start of an exciting new era for PABX vendors throughout southern Africa.” he added.“Partnering with Even Flow gives us the opportunity to work with a market leader renowned for its technical understanding and passion for VoIP.” said Jeff Kirchner, CEO of Epygi Technologies. “The Epygi products will be well supported not only a sales level but also a technical level, providing an excellent quality product offering to South African business.” About Even Flow DistributionEven Flow (www.evenflow.co.za ) is a trade-only distributor supplying Voice over IP (VoIP) products to the retail sector and the reseller/integrator market.
