SmartChoice opens an additional sales office in Midtown Manhattan.

June 13, 2016

SmartChoice (SmartChoice), a leading technology company, today announced the opening of a new sales office in Midtown Manhattan. The expansion stems from exceptional company growth, heavy customer demand, and rapid increase in business accounts. The new facility is expected to accommodate up to 50 Account Executives as part of SmartChoice’s goal to increase workforce to keep up with rising demand. The company currently has additional offices in New York, New Jersey, Missouri as well as several data centers nationwide.

“This expansion is a testament to our tremendous growth and what we aim to accomplish going forward,” stated Jarrett Wolfe, Partner of Smart Choice. “The office was designed with some of our latest and most-advanced technology solutions, so customers can experience the advantages of our products and services first-hand.”

The new location becomes the largest SmartChoice sales office to date and is fully equipped with SmartChoice-Certified phones and technology. All infrastructure, audiovisual, and network cabling was completed in-house by SmartChoice-Certified Technicians–providing the office with the same reliable service and support that SmartChoice offers their customers. The space was meticulously designed to showcase SmartChoice’s product line while conducting in-office demonstrations, trainings, and presentations to current and potential clients.

The office also offers a beautiful view of the Marsh & McLennan Public Plaza–a park area filled with seats and tables to accommodate visitors. The Plaza is an especially high-traffic area because of the multiple NYC food trucks nearby, providing the ideal location for people to enjoy their lunches outdoors and enjoy the scenery. As part of their free Wi-Fi initiative in New York City, SmartChoice is now offering complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi to all visitors of the park and the surrounding area. SmartChoice seeks to provide more Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the city within the near future.

SmartChoice’s new office is located at 56 West 45th Street, 2nd Floor. Interested parties looking to discuss their infrastructure and hosted services options are encouraged to contact an SmartChoice Representative at (800) 217-3096.

SmartChoice Offers Eco-Friendly and Affordable Solutions for Businesses

April 21, 2016

SmartChoice is making a conscious effort to preserve the environment by recommending businesses move their systems to the SmartChoice Hosted Network. As one of the first Hosted PBX and VoIP companies in existence, SmartChoice has prevented tens of thousands of pounds of equipment from ending up in landfills and ultimately contaminating the earth over the past 12 years of offering Cloud Solutions.

“With on-premise PBX systems lasting about 3-5 years on average, we’ve saved thousands of legacy PBX phone system hardware and equipment from being thrown out,” stated Ken Estes, SmartChoice’s Director of Implementation. “Our Hosted Cloud is an ideal solution for those looking to save money and gain greater control of their system–all while helping to preserve the environment.”

Given the steady increase in the need for flexibility and mobility, a cloud system is an integral component in the future of enterprise. Legacy PBX systems require considerable time, money and resources which can hinder communications and cease business operations during repairs. Removal and replacement of parts can also be an ongoing process with on-premise systems resulting in more hardware disposal and more pollution. Since SmartChoice’s inception in 1998, they have been offering innovative and eco-friendly solutions to benefit their customers while making sure they are environmentally responsible.

SmartChoice’s Hosted Network offers other green solutions such as telecommuting and eFax as well. Telecommuting allows workers to work remotely from home meaning less cars on the road to pollute the environment due to gas emissions. Businesses using eFax are also able to save paper by sending and receiving faxes via email.

Additional Benefits:

• Flexibility – SmartChoice’s Network adapts to changes and can easily onboard new users. Legacy systems may require additional hardware and physical IT presence to complete necessary actions.
• Instant Upgrades – The latest features and capabilities are consistently integrated into SmartChoice’s system so you don’t have to spend time and money to upgrade.
• Easy Management – Manage your phone system conveniently through SmartChoice’s OMNI Portal saving the headache of having to send an IT person to remote locations to perform basic maintenance.

SmartChoice continues to encourage their customers to be environmentally conscious when choosing a phone system. For more information about SmartChoice’s products and services, please visit www.smartchoiceus.com.
