It also supports features unique to VoIP-enabled systems such as video conferencing, web collaboration, call recording and the seamless integration of geographically remote telephone extensions.

"The partnership between Bicom and Telappliant has huge potential" said Tan Aksoy, Managing Director of Telappliant. "We have worked with Bicom to develop a superb range of IP PBX solutions. Our solutions are credible alternatives to traditional suppliers such as Cisco and Avaya. Our customers have made savings of up to 70% by purchasing a Telappliant VoIPOffice™ IP PBX solution"

"Bicom is pleased to have formed a relationship with the UK's leading VoIP provider", said Stephen Wingfield, CEO of Bicom Systems. "Telappliant is already the only Distributor of Digium Hardware products in the UK and they bring with this, great experience and channels that our solutions can benefit from. We have provided Telappliant with territory rights to supply our solutions throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland and to support all resellers within the territory. We have confidence that this will be a long and fruitful relationship".

"Digium is pleased to support Bicom Systems and Telappliant's new IP-PBX offering", said Mark Spencer, president of Digium and the author of Asterisk. "In the competitive market of VoIP equipment providers, we believe, this product based on Asterisk and Digium products will change the core of telephony. VoIP has come of age and now hits the mainstream arena of PBX offerings. Bicom Systems and Telappliant have hit the mark with this new product announcement."
