Alliant DataTel expands operations by offering more Voice over IP phone system choices
ATLANTA, GA., December 29, 2008 –– Alliant DataTel Inc., today announced an expanded office suite and the launching of several new marketing websites/blogs including http://www.phonesystemsatlanta.wordpress.com/ and http://www.cablingatlanta.wordpress.com/. Since 1996, Alliant DataTel an Atlanta, Georgia company has specialized in business phone systems, computer networks, cabling and PSTN circuits like PRI and T-1. Alliant’s new sales and support office at a prime location, 1200 Abernathy Road, Northpark Town Center is a mixed-use complex, located in Atlanta’s Central Perimeter business district. Here the company will conduct various business seminars, host “How to Choose an IP-PBX Luncheons,” plus perform demos on all offered business solutions to prospects and current clients utilizing the brand new live product showcase.

Visiting the http://www.goalliant.net/ website can provide upcoming dates and times to RSVP for the 2 hour seminar luncheons or call Alliant’s main number 770-441-9999 for more information.
Alliant DataTel has recently increased its product lines to include Aastralink Response Point and Sutus Business Central BC200 dealerships. The company’s core information technology services include designing, implementing and managing Voice over Internet Protocol phone systems known as VOIP or Voice over IP business phone solutions. Most systems offered have the ability to plug an IP phone into any broadband Internet connection, anywhere in the world, allowing seamless connectivity to the IP-PBX base system. From a single location to multiple sites around the world, both voice and data networks can be connected to a telecommunications infrastructure that can deliver many features including auto attendant, voicemail, Wi-Fi phones, headsets, door phones, access control, and call center applications to name a few. Alliant DataTel can integrate many systems into existing computer networks and can e-mail voicemail messages and incoming faxes directly to email clients, such as Outlook & Groupwise. In addition, voicemails and faxes can also be sent directly to cell phones.

Alliant DataTel is a certified partner for Samsung, Zultys, Microsoft Response Point, Xblue Networks and Sutus. “Our primary objective is to inform businesses about features available in ‘Voice over IP’ phone solutions as well as TDM systems;” said Michael Kirchhoff, CEO of Alliant DataTel. “We educate business owners & decision makers in what to look for in purchasing the right system and setting up their complete infrastructure for their current and long term objectives.” When asked, Michael Kirchhoff says, “Many businesses are not aware of the amazing advancements that have occurred in telecommunications. It is not unusual for clients who need office cabling done during a move or renovation need a new updated phone system. There seems to be a lot of confusion with this upgrade between circuit providers, phone systems and their company’s data infrastructure,” said Kirchhoff; “when you add the new technology of VoIP on top; it becomes a major mountain in their eyes.” Kirchhoff continued, “The sticker shock for new technology first takes them by surprise. What we want to do is educate the end user to what their options are, utilizing their current requirements, budget, as well as their long range goals allowing them to run efficiently, while providing a cost effective solution. If their budget can’t handle everything at once, we break them down in mini-projects they can get their arms around. There is no sense in doing it half way; technology only works if you know how to use it.”

Zultys: Industy Solutions
Zultys delivers a highly flexible suite of features which may be readily customized to suit the needs of specific industries. From healthcare providers to law firms, service industries to financial providers, the Zultys MX30 and MX250 systems deliver the functionality you need today and the flexibility you will need tomorrow to support your changing business requirements.
Healthcare providers, such as clinics and other small healthcare providers, communication is a critical part of keeping patient and practices healthy. Traditional telephone systems cannot deliver the personalized service that ensures a higher level of care and increases patient trust and loyalty. Because the telephone itself is blind to patient data, such as medical history, primary care physician and insurance coverage, answering the phone has become an increasingly challenging activity. Answering the phone can require staff to handle the caller, and a PC to access patient data and an appointment calendar at the same time.
Law firms need to be able to route calls and gather call detail reporting to maximize customer service. In most law practices, the limitations of the phone system are a challenge to efficient and consistent client service. Calls should to be answered promptly and clients connected with lawyers quickly. Long hold times, busy signals and calls routed to the wrong person (or worse, dropped calls) cause client concern. Administrative time spent logging phone time and creating reports increases costs.
Service industry companies such as restaurants and restaurant chains, car dealerships with sales, service and financial departments require maximum flexibility in call handling so that calls are routed to the right group or person, minimal efforts to manage the phone system, integration into and with PCs, reservation/customer/CRM applications, fax and e-mail, and the ability to seamlessly answer calls wherever you are on multiple types of “phones.”
Real estate companies with agents and brokers who work both in the field and in different offices have more unique needs. Answering every sales call “live” means more new business, smoother transactions and more satisfied customers. To make the most of every sales opportunity agents need instant access to contact information and contact databases; the ability to conference customers and colleagues quickly; and ensure they can communicate with clients and prospects at any time, from any location. Answering and routing a high volume of inbound calls can frustrate even the most seasoned employees, while long hold times and misdirected calls annoy both current and prospective sellers, buyers, owners and tenants.
Financial services companies and banks with multiple offices, simply offering the best product is no guarantee of success. To acquire and retain customers, banks, credit unions and mortgage providers must also offer a consistently high level of prompt, friendly, personalized customer service. The phone is the initial, and often primary, tool. But the phone used alone does not display client data, account information, appointment calendar entries and client history.
Zultys MX250
December 16, 2008
MX250
The MX250 is an IP PBX platform that integrates multimedia communications for businesses, large and small, into a single server compact system. All connections are made through standard interfaces. The MX250 integrates the functions of many applications into one Unified Communications platform without the requirement of several disparate adjunct servers. By integrating these functions into a single unit, Zultys delivers a cost effective, easy to provision, easy to use system that is also easily managed and expanded.
The MX250 combines the functions of an Internet gateway (switch and router) with classic PBX functionality: PSTN line interfaces, analog circuits, auto attendant, call routing, voice mail, and Automatic Call Distribution. It further adds support for video calls and multi-media files, such as text-to-speech announcements, automatic conversion of voice mail messages into WAV files, and MXIE, Zultys’ award-winning unified communications client application. The system uses SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to communicate with IP devices on the LAN or across the WAN. This industry standard protocol permits the connection of desktop phones, conference phones, and other SIP endpoints from many manufacturers. Administrators use a single intuitive GUI on a PC to configure and monitor every aspect of the system.
With the MX250, workers are accessible on a central communication system from any location with an Internet connection. Direct connectivity among all users is easily achieved, regardless of their location within a building, campus, city, region, or country. Users of the system have full access to all system features when logging in at the office, from home, while traveling, or from a different site, while retaining their own personal user identity.
All users, regardless of their role within the organization, enjoy a high quality voice system with access to productivity tools designed to increase their ability to get more done in less time. The system offers powerful applications such as presence, instant messaging, unified messaging, call handling, screen pops, and detailed call logs. These tools can operate on a single system or among multiple MX systems of varying sizes for a centrally managed platform that painlessly scales to support large enterprises.
The MX250 connects to a standard Ethernet switch, along with the connection of computers and IP phones. The connection to the LAN is made through one or two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports on the MX250 main board, thereby providing redundancy. Additional redundancy is available with dual hard discs in a RAID 1 configuration, and AC and DC power inputs.
The MX250 provides three module slots that support the connection to the PSTN, legacy PBXs, and analog telephony devices.
SIP and Open Standards From The Beginning
The MX250 was designed and built from its inception to be an open standards IP PBX platform. Most similar products were either originally designed with IP in their core with telephony services added on top, or they are traditional PBXs designed with telephony at their core with VoIP added in later development. Systems of these types typically use proprietary phones and have closed architectures. Conversely, the architecture of the MX250 has been optimized to combine voice and data technologies while using standard interfaces and phones.

Pain Solutions Treatment Centers chooses Premise-Based IP Phone System from Zultys
October 29, 2008Doctors Realize Significant Productivity Gains and Rapid ROI after Linking Offices with Zultys VoIP Solution
ATLANTA, GA., October 28, 2008 – Zultys, Inc., a Silicon Valley company known for its open standards IP communications and telephony products, today recognized an innovative solution devised by Alliant DataTel, Inc. for a four office medical practice in metro Atlanta, Georgia.
Pain Solutions Treatment Centers., Inc.( www.painsolutionscenters.com ) with a network of north Georgia offices needed to quickly replace its communications system while maintaining its investment in Polycom IP telephone sets. Alliant DataTel, Atlanta, GA ( www.goalliant.net ), a Zultys dealer since August 2004, was selected for the project.
Donna Rice, Pain Solutions Treatment Centers, Director of Admin Operations stated; “our hosted Digital Agent telephone system was becoming expensive and difficult to administer. We chose a Zultys MX250 and MX30 media exchange after a couple product demonstrations and validating provided Zultys references. Donna went on to explain; “Michael Kirchhoff, of Alliant installed the hardware, worked diligently and was an asset to get all running smoothly. He held multiple training sessions before we went live and was here throughout the deployment. In addition to an enhanced IP-PBX with dynamic features, we have presence icons. I know when anyone on my team is speaking with a patient, engaged in a meeting or at lunch.
From an administrative standpoint, Michael has been very helpful in answering questions, allowing me to learn the various features. We can now make routine changes to the phones, add, edit and delete users without waiting on a tech to arrive on-site. We have increased the response time to our patients with centralized appointment scheduling and improved the efficiency of our employees.”
By deploying an IP telephony solution from Zultys, Pain Solutions Treatment Centers solved its business communications issues between their four practices. As a result of the cost savings with the Zultys solution, Pain Solutions should pay for their investment in four to six months. The MXIE interface on the PC enables operators and co-workers to view the presence and availability of schedulers regardless of their location. Each individual staff member can set up rules governing how their calls are handled, allowing the Zultys system to locate them for important phone calls even if they are away from their desk.
“We are thoroughly pleased with our investment in the Zultys solution,” said Dan Hurd, Telecom Manager for Pain Solutions Treatment Centers. Zultys MXGroup breaks down the barriers of distance between our offices and allows us to operate as one efficient organization. The PSTN voice quality via Paetec SIP trunks is excellent and we could not be happier with our decision in selecting Zultys and Alliant.”
Zultys’ award winning IP PBX systems offer an all-in-one system with pre-loaded software that does not require additional or external servers. It supports PC, Mac, and Linux equipment. Companies interested in learning more how they might benefit with a Zultys MX may contact Alliant at 1-770-441-9999.

United Seal & Rubber selects Premise-Based IP Communications System from Zultys
October 6, 2008
ATLANTA, GA., October 6, 2008 – Zultys, Inc., a Silicon Valley company known for its open standards IP communications and telephony products, today recognized an innovative solution devised by Alliant DataTel, Inc. for a minority supplier of custom and standard rubber products.
United Seal & Rubber Co., Inc. (http://www.unitedseal.com/ ) recently needed to replace its aging phone and voice mail platforms. Alliant DataTel, Atlanta, Georgia ( http://www.goalliant.net/ ), a Zultys value added reseller since August 2004, was selected by Shirley Waters, United Seal’s controller, to displace an out-dated Tadiran Coral PBX and Callware Callerga voice mail server with a Zultys MX250 media exchange.
Shirley Waters explains; “Michael Kirchhoff, of Alliant installed the hardware in a couple of days, held training sessions before we went live on the system, and was here throughout the deployment. He was available to us when we needed assistance. In addition to an enhanced phone system with dynamic features, we can also send and receive fax information to our desktops. We have an IM (instant messaging) feature that is available to the users of the company. Also, some users now only answer their phone through their PC without touching the stylish Aastra handset. At this point, we are considering wireless headsets for them. From an administrative standpoint, Michael has been very helpful in answering questions, allowing me to learn the various features. We now have real time history reports available. I now can make changes to the phones, add, edit and delete users without waiting on a tech to arrive on site. We have increased the response time to our customers and improved the efficiency of our employees with this technology.”
“Our new system simultaneously manages both the data network and our voice communications. It provides secure instant messaging between colleagues, advanced voicemail, fax, and call recording features. I am most excited about the unified management dashboard. Just by looking at the presence icons, I know when anyone on my team is speaking with a client or engaged in a meeting. This is possible anywhere I have an Internet connection.”
“We will realize our nominal initial investment in four to six months. This whole voice-over-IP project came off exactly like Alliant promised and clearly in a speedy manner. The network and PSTN voice quality is excellent and we could not be happier with our decision in selecting Zultys and Alliant.”
Zultys’ award winning IP PBX systems offer an all-in-one turnkey system with pre-loaded software that does not require additional or external servers. It supports PC, Mac, and Linux equipment.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Zultys, Inc. today announced a new line of hardware and software packages that make it easy for small to medium sized companies to purchase IP PBX enterprise systems. A Zultys ONE system is simple to buy and deploy, and scales in capacity as a company grows.
“We’ve been listening to customers in the marketplace,” said Steve Rothenberg, CEO of Zultys, Inc. “Most business owners want to focus on their mission, not on technology. They asked us to develop a streamlined process for purchasing an integrated suite of pre-packaged, pre-configured systems that would work seamlessly together, and would be easy to administer.”
The ready-to-use packages start with the award-winning MX250 platform. Customers then purchase a kit sized for the number of users in their organization. ONE packages will support up to 250 people without adding equipment, and can be extended to as many as 10,000 users across an entire system.
The entry level ONE Essential is built on the MX 30 platform for 10 users and is expandable to 30 users. Additional ONE packages available include the ONE/20, ONE/50, ONE/100, and ONE/200, and they include every necessary component for a state-of-the-art IP PBX communications system, except for the phones themselves.
Zultys, a Silicon Valley company known for developing innovative, open standards IP communications and telephony products, will offer the ONE systems through its national network of distributors and value-added resellers.
“I’m very excited to provide my customers with a simplified method of evaluating, selecting, and installing powerful phone systems,” said George Richardson, CEO of CT Distributing based in Greenville, South Carolina, one of Zultys’ largest U.S. distributors. “ONE kits come complete with the most requested features, like call forwarding, call routing, faxing, and centralized administration.”
“We’ve designed the ONE bundles to aggressively improve our competitive position in the small to medium size business market, and we expect to see an increase in sales as a result,” said Rothenberg.
Richardson continued, “CT Distributing prefers to recommend Zultys’ ONE because it is based on solid, open standards IP technology, which provides smarter, and more affordable, enterprise-level communications systems.”
Zultys’ award winning IP PBX systems offer an all-in-one turnkey system with pre-loaded software and do not require additional or external servers.

Zultys, Firetide Wireless Communications Network to serve as Cable Alternative at Ancient Welsh Festival
ROYSTON, Hertfordshire (England) or SUNNYVALE, California (USA) – Zultys Technologies and its U.K. partners, Ethnet Limited and SiraCom, have banded together this year to ring in the ancient Welsh tradition of Eisteddfod in Cardiff, Wales, with a groundbreaking communications infrastructure that offers an easy-to-deploy alternative to the cumbersome task of laying down cables throughout the vast, expansive space required for the weeklong outdoor festival.
“We are very pleased to be supplying a cost-efficient solution to the National Eisteddfod,” says Barry Lieberman, Managing Director of Ethnet Limited. “They had a need to reduce cables and provide resilience in what can only be described as a large field before the build. This allowed us to showcase our satellite broadband solution, which when combined with the wireless mesh system produces a platform that eradicates the need for multiple ground-based cables. Previously, they had the usual problems running cables across fields on a very busy site with exhibitors and traffic which can damage cables in the build; therefore causing a breakdown in the service at various points throughout the ten days.”
SiraCom, a long-time U.K. Zultys distributor, and Ethnet Ltd., a broadband-via-satellite ISP providing Internet access, communications and point-of-sale (POS) systems for the National Eisteddfod of Wales in Cardiff, have chosen Zultys’ flagship MX communications system to power the extensive wireless communications network. Through Ethnet’s integration, event organizers, merchants and participating artists will be able to access a site-wide wireless network built on technology from Firetide, a leading provider of wireless mesh and access networks.
According to Leiberman, by providing a wireless telephone system and wireless broadband with wireless credit card processing, this enabled the National Eisteddfod organizers’ 35-staff office to work from different locations throughout the site by moving their complete office into the middle of a field that had no communication facilities onsite.
“Zultys couldn’t be more pleased that our U.K. partners have chosen such a prestigious outdoor event to fully demonstrate the robust integration capabilities and flexibility of our MX communications system. We wish all of the Eisteddfod participants in Wales all the best as they celebrate their Welsh heritage and we hope the MX-powered network will be music to their ears,” says Steve Rothenberg, CEO at Zultys.
The National Eisteddfod of Wales, one of the world’s greatest festivals dating back to the year 1176, will kick off with Celtic folk music, bardic poetry and cultural festivities during the first week of August. With attendance expected to total approximately 160,000 visitors, the annual Eisteddfod celebrates Welsh culture and heritage and plays an important role in the life of the nation by promoting the Welsh language and arts. It also acts as a launch pad for Wales’ most talented performers.
“Firetide wireless networks are designed for rapid deployment and are ideal in environments where permanent infrastructure is not required. We are pleased that Ethnet selected Firetide to serve as a robust and secure communications network for the festival,” says Bo Larsson, CEO of Firetide.
“The site chosen for this year’s national Eisteddfod is a vast area of parkland that runs alongside the River Taff in the heart of Cardiff. The Eisteddfod has transformed the Ponte Canna fields into a thriving festival area comprising a main pavilion surrounded by 300 merchant stands, a theatre and many performance and exhibition marquees,” explains Rob Leggett of SiraCom.
In addition to the Zultys telephony system, the rapidly-deployable wireless mesh will support Internet access, POS systems and Hitachi WIP5000 Wi-Fi phones. The Zultys system is using ZIP 2×2 and Aastra phones with VoIP Unlimited acting as the Internet telephony service provider.
