Tpad launches Managed IP PBX Solution for SME’s in the UK

For small to medium businesses looking to upgrade their traditional system for a VoIP system without having to make large upfront investments, Tpad is launching a new managed IP PBX system that runs entirely over a suitable broadband connection.

This move is intended to vigorously compete with Business VoIP telephony companies such as Packet8, Vonage and Skype as the package has been specifically targeted at businesses that require a simple yet powerful, robust phone solution using the latest VoIP technology.


Tpad’s solution, called Tpad Pro, is designed to provide a quality service whilst saving smaller companies money (SME’s). The Tpad Pro solution provides a low cost start up package with monthly billing and a choice of VoIP / SIP handsets. Each system is custom configured, and includes auto-attendant, voicemail, call forwarding, caller ID, speed dial, and many other powerful yet easy to use features.

Benefits of Tpad’s PBX Pro Telephony Solution:

The system can be used to connect multiple remote offices anywhere in the world and provides support for WiFi mobility and tele-working for home users, thus providing a unified calling experience for all parties.

“With Tpad's managed IP PBX service, only a suitable broadband connection is needed, allowing companies to say goodbye to their traditional expensive carrier altogether, said Chris Morris, General Manager of Tpad.

We have designed the Tpad Pro solution to be a cost effective and user friendly as possible so non-technical staff can adapt with very little training. This means your business can have a professional front end with little upfront investment with Tpad providing the broadband connection we will endeavour to deliver a seamless one stop shop for your communication needs.” he went on.

Part of the cost savings comes from new cutting edge technology built on open standards, more specifically SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), which is driving down the cost of VoIP phones and services. These open standards give Tpad a massive advantage over larger corporate vendors whose offerings are traditionally more expensive, Morris said.

"Many competitors charge you up to £1500 for a set of fancy, over complicated IP phones to sit on your desk," he said. "With our flexible solution you can choose the right phone for your business needs, whether it will be a combination of IP Phone, ATA, PC Softphone or Nokia Mobile."

Tpad is compatible with any SIP / VoIP Device, from a standard IP Phone (e.g. Linksys / Grandstream / Snom) to the newest Mobile VoIP technology using Nokia WiFi Mobiles (N and E Series e.g. N95 / E65). Our main aim is to allow SME’s to use any type of device they desire on our global VoIP network.

Asian Business Foundation (A.B.F), a resource management firm in Blackburn, U.K, has tested our solution for several weeks. Asif Sadiq, partner with the firm said, “The greatest benefit so far has been dramatic cost savings in call costs.

"We like the idea of a pay as you go calling plan," Sadiq said. "We only pay for what calls we make so there are is no scope for wastages. We've cut our costs in half and our long-distance bill is virtually non-existent now."

The small office traded in an outdated and costly PBX that hadn't been entirely reliable or easy to use, Sadiq said.

"Now what we have is a compact computer just a little bit bigger than a laptop, and that now is our phone server," he said. "It's a very clean and very simple telephony solution.

6 reasons why should you use Tpad’s PBX Pro Telephony Solution:

1. Lower CAPEX Costs: Buying a traditional phone system is like buying an expensive new car, it significantly depreciates the day you place it in service. You can put that money to better use by spending less up-front by installing a VoIP managed PBX system.

2. A VoIP Managed PBX is Dynamically Scalable: Up-size and Down-size on the fly. VoIP managed PBX Service lets you buy the exact number of users you need right now - later you can add users when you actually need them. This helps preserve capital in comparison to guessing what size PBX system you need to buy today to support the number of users you think you'll have in 3 - 5 years.

3. A VoIP managed PBX is Cheaper, Easier to maintain and Update: Moves, Add's and Changes no longer require on-site changes to your phone system. Your VoIP managed PBXs can be easily changed via the Call Management Software, thus the flexibility to add, change, delete or move users within minutes. Your expenses will be reduced by eliminating costly monthly maintenance contracts or the high labour cost required to have a tech onsite for every change you need.

4. A VoIP managed PBX Uses Non-Proprietary Components: When you buy a traditional PBX phone system, you're locking your company into a long term commitment to a proprietary architecture that may or may not keep pace with technological changes. Bottom line, you are betting your company's future that the proprietary technology will remain compatible with evolving industry standards. In the future, there's a good chance with a traditional PBX you'll be at the manufacturer's mercy for repair and expansion since only their parts will work with your purchase. Make sure your VoIP managed PBX system works with multiple phone manufacturers. So if you decide to move to a different system, a forklift upgrade won't be necessary.

5. A VoIP System Eliminates Technology Obsolescence: Since you're not purchasing a phone system, you don't have to worry about the equipment becoming obsolete.

6. Improved Features for Improved Productivity: Most enterprise VoIP managed Voice service providers include advanced calling features that are not available with traditional phone systems. Features that will improve the way you control your calling, like Visual Voicemail, Unique DID's, Find-Me/Follow-Me, Click-to-Call.
