According to the Company, Swisscom offers a range of products and services for mobile, landline and IP-based voice and data communications. Swisscom turned to BroadSoft's BroadWorks platform to deploy a suite of IP-based, integrated services that will deliver several key benefits, including: -Full compatibility with the customer's preferred SIP phones and legacy hardware to ensure seamless transition.

-Scalable IMS-ready platform that enables enhanced applications such as web-based call management, call forwarding to all devices, hunt groups, and receptionist capabilities.


-Workforce mobility as BroadWorks Anywhere provides enterprise end-users with a single number that can ring to an employee's deskphone, mobile, smartphone or home phone, as well as one-click capabilities to move calls from one phone to another without hanging up.

"In determining the best solution partner for these new Hosted Communications offerings, it quickly became evident BroadSoft was uniquely positioned to enable the delivery of new, innovative communications and entertainment services for our enterprise and residential customers," said Sacha Furer, Head of Voice Services Development, Swisscom. "The ability to launch and scale innovative hosted voice and unified communications services from a single carrier-grade platform provides in our view an advantage in what has become an increasingly competitive market."
