OTTAWA: Objectworld Communications Corp has announced that its Unified Communications Server now enables businesses to reap the benefits of unified communications as an adjunct to existing PBX systems. Depending on system size, Objectworld UC Server can save businesses up to hundreds of thousands of dollars for large installations while providing the productivity and administration benefits of Windows-based unified communications and leveraging their investment in their existing PBX systems.

As the leading provider of unified communications and communications-enabled business process (CEBP) software solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) with Microsoft Windows platforms, Objectworld enables businesses to add unified messaging, unified communications, fax server and more to an existing PBX system (Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition) or to deploy an end-to-end software solution that includes VoIP, UC and CEBP (Objectworld UC Server SIP Edition). Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition provides support for a very wide range of PBX systems from AVAYA, Mitel, Nortel, Cisco, NEC and other vendors.

"Many businesses believe that they need a whole new VoIP system just to get unified communications," said David Levy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Objectworld. "Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition makes unified communications widely available as Windows-based software that easily integrates with most mainstream PBX systems — no need for a new PBX system, no need for new phones, no need for VoIP. No other company in the unified communications market can meet customers' challenges as flexibly as Objectworld UC Server."

Additional feature enhancements to Objectworld UC Server include support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008, which further enhances integration with the Microsoft platform, and interoperability with Grandstream Networks desktop phones. The addition of Grandstream phones provide businesses with an even wider choice of already supported and certified desktop phones like Polycom and Snom to deploy the Objectworld UC Server solution.

Objectworld reseller Teoma Systems' Sales Vice President, Daniel Janer commented: "Finding the right solution for our customers is paramount at Teoma. With the new version of Objectworld UC Server, we can offer our customers an even broader range of unified communications solutions that suit their specific needs. If they want to keep their PBX and get the benefits of unified communications, we can provide them Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition. If they want to switch to VoIP, we can provide them Objectworld UC Server SIP Edition."
