COMPUTER DYNAMICS AND STAR2STAR BRING AWARD-WINNING CLOUD TECHNOLOGY TO BUSINESS TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS

FREEPORT, IL - DAVE RUNDALL , Technical Services Manager of Computer Dynamics, announced new technology today designed to dramatically reduce the cost and improve efficiency of business telephone communications systems.
Computer Dynamics has partnered with STAR2STAR Communications to introduce cloud technology for business telephones utilizing high speed internet services to unite voice, fax and mobile telephones.
Using the power of the internet, cloud technology allows multiple business offices to join together as one for all telephone services including video conferencing and chat. New features like smartphone integration turns a smartphone into an extension of the business phone system - allowing callers to reach business representatives no matter where they are - using only the local business phone number.
With the new 'Find Me/Follow Me' technology, calls to a business number or extension follow representatives to phones across multiple locations - to home, cell phone or even back to voice mail - anywhere in the world.
Said Rundall, "In the 90s, businesses connected their computers to the internet - and that changed everything. With advanced cloud computing, the internet can now link up business communications like never before. Voice, text, fax and video conferencing can all be managed using just one local business phone number. Business cards will have just one number for everything and callers will be routed to their sales or service representative seamlessly.
No more call the listed number - then try the cell phone - then try the fax - then text a message back on the cell phone.
This new process eliminates all that - and it saves money."
STAR2STAR is an award-winning technology company recognized by INC.500, Forbes magazine and DeLoitte Fast500 for the company's patent pending communications platform.
