SAN
DIEGO, CA., and NORWALK, CT., Dec. 11, 2002
- Internet Telephony® Magazine today named VIVOware and
VIVO COMPLETE from TransPacificTelecom (TPT) winners of
the "Product of the Year" award.
TPT wins the prestigious award from the premier publication
in the rapidly growing Internet telephony industry mere
weeks after VIVOware and VIVO COMPLETE were first previewed
and named "Best of Show" winners at the Internet Telephony
Conference & Expo, held October 2002 in San Diego and
widely considered the number-one global event focused
on voice, video, fax and data convergence.
"It's
amazing to be so quickly recognized for transforming Voice
over IP telephony," said Stephen Thomas, founder and chief
executive officer of TPT. "We are very proud to be awarded
Product of the Year and I believe this honor confirms
that TPT definitely has the right product and right service
at the right time."
"TransPacificTelecom is a
clear innovator in the IP telephony industry. We're proud
to reward their hard work and vision with a Product of
the Year Award for 2002," said Rich Tehrani, president
of TMC and group editor-in-chief of Internet Telephony.
 According to Greg Galitzine, editorial director of Internet
Telephony, TransPacificTelecom earned the Product of the
Year honors for delivering cutting-edge products and services.
"The Product of the Year award is meant not only
to honor the outstanding teams who developed and manufactured
the products and services on our winning list, but also
to educate our readers on the vast array of offerings
in this market. Choosing the winners was a difficult process,
and we spent many hours studying the applications we received
from vendors, as well as looking through materials we
collected on our own over the past year," said Galitzine.
The award winning VIVOware is a feature-rich billing and customer
care software application. It provides complete Web-enabled
call detail record tracking, rating and routing, call
completion reporting, automated customer invoicing and
payment gateway, reporting and management tools with automated
domestic and International rate tables, trouble tickets,
and more.
VIVO COMPLETE integrates VIVOware with TPT's network for
routed domestic and international long-distance. For global
applications, TPT's software and services deliver voice
services over broadband Internet to remote locations where
traditional phone service can take months to install and
can be prohibitively costly. Aimed at the residential
market, TPT will be offering a service for dial up users
in 2003.
VIVO COMPLETE is highly scalable, designed to support
a range of business models, including flat-rate billing
options and billions of calls. TPT's Alliance Partners
and resellers set their own long-distance and local rates,
design their own service plans, offer customized commission
schedules, and provide personalized agent and customer
access to VIVOware's Web-based software.
"VIVOware
and VIVO COMPLETE are everything an Internet provider
needs," said TPT's Thomas. "It's the billing software
that generates revenue, even if the ISP chooses to offer
discount rate plans that undercut traditional phone carriers.
It adapts the existing high-speed Internet connection
- subscribers just plug their existing phone into a special
adapter that is connected to their broadband cable, and
dial away. The quality of the call is indistinguishable
from a call made using a regular phone line. ISPs don't
have to build a new network or create billing software,
and they may private-label or co-brand the service."
