Microtech-Tel has invested millions of dollars in its technology infrastructure to deliver the very latest voice, data, network and IT managed solutions to its business customers throughout Colorado.

Modern PBX systems, even those VoIP-based, now available to large and small business alike

DENVER, CO – PBX, or Public Branch Exchange, the heartbeat of a business telephone system used to managed phone lines and system functionality, is now available in a variety of forms that brings this feature-rich switching technology to even the smallest of businesses, according to Colorado’s voice, data and managed IT services leader Microtech-Tel.

PBX is a sophisticated business telephone management system traditionally utilized by only larger businesses handling enough work stations to make the investment and its features worth the price of admission. PBX systems trace their history to operator-assisted switchboards that allowed multiple internal business phone users to share a limited number of outside lines and also to allow for station-to-station internal communications. Over the years, PBX systems got more complex to handle these functions without operator assistance, and adding on a whole array of features, such as conference calling, auto dialing, night service, voice mail, paging and an auto attendant, among many other features.

Microtech-Tel designs and installs onsite PBX systems for its larger customers, but also operates hosted PBX solutions where even businesses with as few as 5 workstations can tap PBX functionality without the cost of infrastructure and hardware that would be prohibitive for such a small exchange requirement.

“We have built the infrastructure and built-in all of the standard PBX features where small businesses can enjoy the benefits of a full PBX on a pay-as-you-go basis,” said Sam Kumar, Microtech-Tel Founder and CEO. “Using our Hosted PBX service through our cloud computing network, even small business can enjoy one main business telephone number for multiple workstations, follow-me calling to even cell phones, dial-by-name directories, messaging and a full array of PBX functions. In other words, even very small businesses can have the telephony flexibility heretofore reserved to only very largest business customers.”

Microtech-Tel has certified engineers and technicians that regularly design full premises-based PBX for such big-business customers in Colorado as Coors, Hyatt, Marriott and the State of Colorado. Using state-of-the-art business telephone system hardware from industry leader NEC, and switching systems from such partners as Microsoft, Cisco and Juniper, Microtech-Tel has pioneered business telephony services for voice and data based on both traditional switching systems and emerging Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.

And now, through its own 15 locations and data centers throughout Colorado’s Front Range and central mountains, Microtech-Tel has built a multimillion infrastructure that delivers big-business functionality to companies with as few as five workstations.

“We specialize in voice and data managed services for businesses in a wide service area in Colorado,” said Microtech-Tel’s Kumar. “Our services range from network services like telephone lines, long distance and high-speed internet access, to the design, installation and programming of complex telephone and data systems, and complete IT managed services including security, maintenance and trouble-shooting.”

In addition to traditional business telephony, Microtech-Tel also specializes in VoIP technology, Dynamic T1 service, and Multiple Protocol Layer Switching (MPLS) which services multiple office locations with single connectivity for telephone, internet and data communications. Also Microtech-Tel’s state-of-the-art data network supports data encryption technologies that comply with such laws and regulation as HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) privacy provisions and Sarbanes-Oxley Act reporting requirements for public companies.

Multiple office locations, one telecom solution equals business savings with MPLS

DENVER, CO – When a business operates from two or more locations, that often means two or more phone numbers, two data/network systems – or a very expensive add-on to ensure seamless network connections. With Multiple Protocol Layer Switching (MPLS) from Microtech-Tel, Colorado businesses with many office locations can have telephones, internet and data connectivity as if it was one office while saving as much as 30% over systems offered by the traditional legacy telecommunications companies.

Microtech-Tel, a carrier- and enterprise-class telecommunications company serving the telephone, internet and data requirements for thousands of Colorado businesses, utilizes its own MPLS platform to create a personalized private Local Area Network (LAN) for each business customer. Using the power of Microtech-Tel’s proprietary “cloud” computing infrastructure, businesses with two or more locations can draw all the services and functionality they need, when they need it, without the expense of building their own exclusive network. In this way, businesses can enjoy telephone, internet and data transfer technology from a highly secure network at a substantial savings.

“With traditional carriers, to achieve a single-system telecommunications and managed IT network for a business would require a main access line for each location, with a duplication of phone functionality, data servers and internet connectivity,” said Todd Wilson,” Microtech-Tel Senior Account Executive. “With Microtech-Tel it requires only one main access for the entire system, and all of our ‘cloud’ technology is built in with all the capacity any business would need. It’s just like having a single office from a connectivity point of view, in as many locations as required.”

What makes it all possible is the multi-million investment Microtech-Tel has made in its network of IP telephony, IT managed services and hosted solutions over its company-built “cloud.” A “cloud” is a computer term for an infrastructure of shared services, such as security, PBX, email, off-site backup, storage, web hosting, and more. The “cloud” allows businesses large and small to tap into the very latest telecommunications technology at will without the expense of building their network.

“Plus, we are constantly updating the power, functionality and capability of our cloud, so customers also get regular updates and upgrades that would just be added expense on their own networks,” Wilson added.

From state-of-the-art PBX and telephone system hardware, to telephone lines, long distance service, high-speed internet access, and a complete set of IT managed services for secure business data, the company delivers the very latest in telecommunications and backs it up with 24/7/365 customer service and an unparalleled commitment to reliability.

MICROTECH-TEL COMMITS TO ‘GREEN’ WITH ITS SERVICE FLEET

DENVER, CO – Microtech-Tel, Colorado’s leading provider of business voice and data managed services, is committed ecological “green” operations, most clearly manifest in its fleet of service vehicles: 10 Mazda3 wagons that carry an EPA mileage rating of 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.

“Microtech-Tel has customers far and wide throughout the state, and our technicians log thousands of miles each year meeting the needs of our clients,” said Sam Kumar, President of the company. “We wanted to save money, of course, but one of our chief concerns in looking for service vehicles was to insure that our carbon footprint would be the minimum possible while still getting the job done. Our experience is that our technicians, with their Mazdas fully loaded with our ‘Critical Spares” parts, are getting an average of more than 30 miles to the gallon servicing our customers. That’s good for us, good for our customers, and great for the earth.”

In selecting the fleet of service vehicles for technicians located throughout the state of Colorado, Microtech-Tel tried to reach a balance of driver comfort, a size vehicle which could easily carry all the equipment necessary to make a one-stop service call, and environmental stewardship. The Mazda3 wagon fit the bill. Each technician carries a share of over $330,000 in “Critical Spares” inventory maintained by the company and consisting of phone systems, switches, routers, networking gear, cabling, and more.

“A smaller vehicle wouldn’t have met our requirement to have the right parts to complete the job on-site and on-time,” Kumar noted, adding, “and a larger vehicle would have required more fuel than our sense of propriety would allow. We truly care about the environment and really wanted to make a ‘green’ statement in our operations.”
