• City Saves over $1 Million with Business VoIP

Winnipeg city officials finalize decision that will save the city approximately $1.5 million over the next 5 years - thanks business VoIP service.

Under heavy objections from incumbent carrier, the executive policy committee of Winnipeg rejected Manitoba Telecom Services's (MTS) bid to renew their $6 million contract; instead opting to migrate over 4,000 of the city's land lines into business VoIP services.

MTS argued that a migration on such a large scale would be extremely difficult and cause undue hardship to the city and it's ability to render services but the executive policy committee dismissed those concerns and awarded the contract for the city's telecom services to cloud based VoIP provider FlexITy.

South Bend, Michigan is yet another municipality who migrated phone systems to business VoIP - in the long term South Bend will save over $240,000 per year thanks to the switch.
