SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2006--Whaleback Systems(TM) has announced that Jenaly Technology Group has selected Whaleback's CrystalBlue Voice Service(TM), which provides Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) with access to rich Voice over IP (VoIP) functionality that they can leverage via a simple broadband cable or DSL connection.

Jenaly has deployed Whaleback's SMB 1500 IP PBX in its headquarters location to provide enhanced telephony services via its broadband cable connection. M.J. Shoer, president of Jenaly, explained, "Whaleback offers a unique blend of hardware and service that reduces telecom costs and enhances employee productivity. We saw other VoIP equipment manufacturers as enabling VoIP within the 'four walls' of a business environment, but we needed a solution that would support home-based workers and traveling workers as well. The Whaleback solution is a total VoIP play made up of both hardware and services, and it is unique in the marketplace."

 

Jenaly is an outsourced IT firm offering consulting, implementation and proactive managed support services to SMBs. Shoer estimates that Jenaly will receive full payback on its investment in the Whaleback solution in only 8.5 months. The company is able to reduce both cellphone charges and bandwidth charges for phone company services to its headquarters location.

 

The new Road Warrior Functionality(TM) allows Jenaly employees to access the SMB 1500 IP PBX from their home offices, or from client locations or Wi-Fi hotspots via the Internet. "I have a Whaleback softphone on my laptop that allows me to place and receive calls from any broadband connection," said Shoer. "I can access my voice mail from my laptop computer, and since we all have PDA phones, we can also access our voice mail from handheld devices. This allows us to keep in touch with our clients and with each other without the need to constantly call the office for messages, and it brings the power of a strong telecommunications infrastructure to us as we work outside of the walls of our business."

 

He continued, "Whaleback's CrystalBlue Voice Service and Road Warrior Functionality allows us to access voice mail and enhanced telephony features from wherever we happen to be at the moment. I can receive calls whether I'm at my desk, in the car, at a client location, at a Wi-Fi hotspot, working from home or traveling across the country."

Jenaly workers also plan to take advantage of the innovative OrcaDial feature, which enhances productivity by delivering click-to-dial functionality across multiple applications. "OrcaDial is a fabulous feature. Being able to quickly initiate calls from any number of desktop software applications is a major key to productivity, particularly when we are working in cramped quarters at a client location," said Shoer. OrcaDial works with diverse desktop applications, including Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint as well as Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) PDF files. It also allows users to click on phone numbers displayed on Web pages or email clients to initiate calls.
