Includes integration of its Unify VoIP software with BroadSoft's BroadWorks release of 13 VoIP application platform.

Ensim, a web hosting provider, yesterday announced major advancements in its VoIP strategy, including the expansion of its partnership with BroadSoft, a sofware services provider.

The company announced the availability of a new automated tool for easier configuration of VoIP devices, and additional functionality of the Ensim Unify platform to the bulk provisioning of VoIP services.

According to Ensim, its partnership with BroadSoft is to include integration of its Unify VoIP software with BroadSoft's BroadWorks release 13 VoIP application platform. The companies combined product offering gives service providers enhanced capabilities to automate provisioning and integrate with their existing OSS applications to introduce, deliver and manage VoIP services.

By deploying Ensim's service delivery software with the BroadWorks platform, service providers can provision multiple hosted services, including IP Centrex VoIP, to their users at the same time, requiring staff to master only one simplified provisioning interface, and quickly build up service differentiation without operational complexity.
 
"Given the importance of time to market, our customers will greatly benefit from the integration of BroadSoft's BroadWorks and Ensim's Unify VoIP solution. This partnership offers a complete solution that
gives service providers instant and powerful capabilities to automate and accelerate the deployment of managed IP communications services," said Scott Wharton, Vice President of marketing at BroadSoft.

"Our goal is to provide an 'unfair advantage' to service providers to help them compete in today's fast-changing telecommunications world," said Dave Wippich, CEO of Ensim Corporation. "Our partnership with BroadSoft aligns with this goal, by enabling us to deliver to our customers the industry's most effective hosted VoIP solution that automates and simplifies their operational processes."
