Spitfire wins CN Award for SIP Communicator™ hosted solution

29October2013

Spitfire, the leading business Internet telephony service provider and ISP, has won the SME Hosted Solution category of the prestigious Comms National Awards. Spitfire won the award for an entry based on its SIP Communicator™ hosted telephony service. The Comms National Awards, organised by Comms Dealer magazine, are widely acknowledged as a benchmark of excellence within the telecoms industry.

The cloud based SIP Communicator™ hosted telephony service only requires SIP compatible handsets, making the service an extremely cost-effective solution for business start-ups and small businesses that are growing and anticipate moving premises or are spread over multiple sites. The Spitfire entry was based on the experience of Millbrook Medical Conferences which achieved significant cost savings and productivity improvements by deploying SIP Communicator™ following advice from Spitfire channel partner IT Services Support.

The Comms National Awards celebrate and reward excellence in the provision of ICT solutions. The Comms National Awards are judged by an independent panel of industry experts and Spitfire’s entry was chosen as the winner ahead of six other finalists and many more entries that failed to make finalist status.

For Spitfire, Tom Fellowes, Sales Director commented, “We are naturally delighted to have won this prestigious Comms National Award for SIP Communicator™. There is a growing shift to cloud provision of ICT services and Spitfire has established itself as a leading independent provider with some significant advantages over rival services. Because Spitfire is a business ISP our SIP Communicator™ is designed as an end-to-end service to guarantee QoS overcoming one of the biggest objections to moving to cloud based telephony. The savings and productivity gains experienced by Millbrook Medical Conferences demonstrated to the Comms National Award judges that SIP Communicator™ is a winning solution.”
