Allworx is the answer!
Many companies make the claim that they are the best or the easiest, but
few can back up these claims. Allworx makes it easy to see why it is the
only right choice for your business.
More savings for you
Allworx is priced right — your savings will be equal to or greater
than any other fully-featured VoIP communication system.
Lowest expansion cost —with no need for gateways,
expansion cards or other third-party products, Allworx
has the lowest total cost over the life of the system.
No hidden charges — Allworx pricing is
straightforward and uncomplicated.
Internet calling saves you money — with our Internet
CallAccess™option, calling between sites is free and
saves additional money by switching to an ITSP for
telephone service.1,2
Instant remote access —remote users connect
instantly using ordinary broadband connections and
without extra hardware, software or cost.
No per-seat software charges — software options
have one-time fees with unlimited users.
No compromising on features
Allworx is the only analog, VoIP and data system available with
a complete feature set for small businesses.
Same features, same operation — calls continue to work
like your traditional phone system, so the switch to an Allworx
system is transparent to users.
Analog and VoIP — add VoIP and keep some analog lines
for911use.
New features—callerIDbasedrouting,ndme/followme
calling, unified messaging and more.
Enhanced conference calling — with the Allworx
ConferenceCenter™option,yougettheamazingpoweroffour
eight-seat conference bridges.
Flexible voice and data access — no other system offers
built-inconnectionstotraditionalphonelines,T1/PRI,and

Transition at your own pace
New technology can be daunting. That’s why Allworx gives you
the largest set of traditional telephone capabilities of any VoIP
solution in its class! Now you can simultaneously use both analog
and VoIP phone connections as you control the pace of your
transition to new technology.
You control when to use VoIP—theT1/PRIandanalog
port capabilities in the base configuration allow you to control
the move to VoIP … so you can do it without disrupting your
business operations.
You control when to add features —power features
likeCallQueuing™,multi-sitecalling,CallAssistant™and TAPI
are activated via easy software keys … add them as you
need them.
It’s got to be easy
Whether you are installing a single site or linking together
multiple offices and remote users, no other system comes close
to providing the simplicity and speed of installation.
Easiest to use — a choice of Allworx phones with ample
buttons means you can replace what you have today, and
makes the Allworx system the easiest to use and administer.
Easiest to grow — add phones without costly software or
installation charges in hours, not days.
Simple transition — it’s easy to learn the new system
without skipping a beat.
Multi-site/remote users — connecting sites across town or
across the country has never been easier — or as seamless.
Easiest access to Internet calling —multiple service
providers to choose from.
