Internet Telephony Conference to focus on SMB

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT: Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has released an updated conference program for the upcoming INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2007 (ITEXPO) in Los Angeles. The conference features a series of sessions educating attendees from small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) about how to select and deploy IP communications solutions in their organizations.

The conference and trade show will be held from September 10 to 12 this year at the Los Angeles Convention Center. TMC president Rich Tehrani believes these sessions for SMBs are among the most important offered at the conference.

"SMBs have a bewildering array of products and services to choose from that can make them appear to the outside world as a large enterprise with a state of the art communications system. By attending the SMB track at ITEXPO, these companies will be able to choose the right solution from all the amazing choices available to them," Tehrani said.

"SMBs come to ITEXPO to see which vendors make most sense to work with. In an SMB, every dollar invested in infrastructure is even more valuable than at a large company. Choosing between hosted and premises-based systems is perhaps the biggest decision to make. SMBs can be confident that they are choosing wisely by learning what to do in these sessions," he added.
