Alteva Selected to Provide Cloud-Based Unified Communications to AbelCine

  Alteva, a leading cloud-based Unified Communications (UC) solution provider and subsidiary of Warwick Valley Telephone Company (NASDAQ: WWVY) (referred to as WVT Communications Group), announced it is now providing a full hosted solution to AbelCine, a company that offers products and expertise to professionals and serious content creators in film production, digital cinema, high-speed, 3D, broadcast, new media and communication.

AbelCine provides equipment sales and rental, financing, repair, digital media services, technical consultation and education from its headquarters in New York City and a newly expanded office in Burbank, CA, as well as sales and training from its Chicago, IL office. Alteva's Hosted Solution seamlessly ties the three locations together, allowing internal extension-to-extension dialing, the ability to transfer calls between offices, and integrate Salesforce.com within the system. Most of all, Alteva's solution allows for greater mobility by allowing staff to switch a call from a desktop handset to a cell phone without interruption.

According to Valerie Brauckman Burgess of TelecoWorks, a certified Unified Communications Channel Partner and AbelCine's consultant, "AbelCine eliminated its dynamic T-1 based MPLS network and moved all traffic to more efficient Ethernet fiber. The move to fiber decreased overall network costs, increased bandwidth and was easier to manage. Alteva's support team managed the migration to the cloud, including porting the customer's phone numbers, scheduling turn-ups and end-user training."

Nathaniel Bonini, Director of Services & Information Technology for AbelCine, said, "We wanted bandwidth and consolidation, and Alteva was a good choice because of its redundant network built on the BroadSoft platform. The key factor in choosing Alteva is that they provide solid support. There is always someone on the other end of the phone when we need them."

"This move was the first series of steps to make a great communications system available to the whole company, mobilize our field force, and provide modern telephony services to the staff. Our goal is to give our clients the best customer support available -- and mobility is a factor. The ability to manage voicemail via email is a big contributor to the efficiency of the entire company."
