While SMBs under verticals like manufacturing, retail and services went in for these technologies much earlier, the real estate sector is not lagging behind. Today, the real estate sector has caught the attention of vendors in a big way with each one coming out with customized solutions catering to the industry and many expanding their offerings through channel partners.

Telanetix, Inc., a leading IP solutions provider offering telepresence and VoIP services to the SMBs and small and medium enterprise (SME) markets, is one such company which has expanded its channel program and market reach through an agreement with OneCall, a Boston-based unified communications solutions provider focused on the real estate and financial services markets.

OneCall will sell the VoIP services of the AccessLine Division of Telanetix under a channel agreement that opens OneCall's more than 7,000 real-estate agent customer bases to the industry-leading business phone service and support of AccessLine's VoIP Trunking Services.

"Given the current condition of the economy, all professionals in the real estate industry are looking for ways to streamline their cost structure while improving productivity and achieving greater revenue. AccessLine's SmartVoice VoIP Trunking Services are an attractive feature of a complete telecommunication system solution for our customer base," said Garrie O'Neill, president of OneCall. "Our customers are attracted to the value of VoIP, in combination with our already established unified communications solutions, this allows us to meet all the needs of our customers with one elegant package."

"Telanetix is dedicated to providing best-in-class communications solutions to the SMB market, and the opportunity to partner with an industry-leading channel partner in this space, such as OneCall, is a perfect fit," added Tom Szabo, chairman and CEO of Telanetix. "OneCall's selection of our VoIP services as an addition to their portfolio is an extremely attractive way for us to move rapidly to a strong presence in one of the key vertical markets of the SMB marketplace."
