3 Why choose us? voxclever enables service providers to create, deliver and manage cloud communication services for their end users. We provide the tools needed to meet the demands of customers and compete effectively on service agility, without the need to make resource and time intensive investments. We have been serving partners since 2009, and have proven expertise in delivering large, complex cloud communications solutions, as well as operating a multi tenanted, and multi hierarchal platform. We have been chosen as the Design Authority for Tier 1 carriers and service providers looking to develop and deploy cloud solutions. Using our experience, skills and platforms, we work with our partners to develop and deliver on their promises. How do we help? Speed to market We offer rapid market entry for enterprise cloud communications solutions, and enable our partners to become more agile, a quality which is essential in a fast moving market. Providers can no longer rely on core business to grow, as over time this will diminish as products become commoditised. Acting now will mean that new revenue streams can be generated, ensuring their continued success. [email protected] Page 2

4 Meet the demand We enable our partners to move up the value chain more quickly than their competitors and deliver services that match demand, without shouldering development costs and stretching internal expertise that could be allocated elsewhere. Reducing the capital costs of product development means that our partners can benefit from additional revenues and improved cash flow. Differentiate We give our partners the ability to differentiate their product offerings. Unified communications is no longer niche, and as more providers enter the market, the need to stand out is essential. We make it easy for our partners to create new and bespoke solutions, and get them to market in minutes. This gives our partners a competitive advantage. Identity Our fully brandable tools and interfaces allow our partners to maintain their brand identity and sell customised solutions to their customers. Brand equity is the key to the success of our partners in a fast paced market. [email protected] Page 3

5 Product as a Service We are able to supply our partners with expertise and knowledge to assist them in getting their differentiated solutions to market fast. Outsourcing the development of a new suite of products means our partners not only get to market fast, but also reduce the CAPEX required to develop the product in house. Our in house experts work closely with, and support our partners in multiple areas, increasing their agility and providing industry insight into best practice when deploying new and complex communication solutions. We believe this model provides our partners with all the tools and knowledge to help them focus on their core business, driving revenue opportunities, confident in the knowledge that products will be delivered. The market Providers are seeing their enterprise customer base become increasingly dynamic in what they ask of them. They want to enable mobile workers, allow for more flexibility in procuring services and ultimately, determine themselves who controls the services they are using. This means there is a growing need to offer services that are more dynamic and ready to meet these new demands. Enterprises are also changing the way they operate. Many are focussing on improving agility within their organisations, including rationalising their real estate, and making greater use of the benefits of a more mobile society. With this greater flexibility comes a requirement for greater control of business assets and communication is no different. Enterprise cloud communications delivers on both the flexibility and also control requirements. [email protected] Page 4

6 Enterprise Cloud Communications We can offer an integrated solution for voice, video and collaboration services sold on a per user basis. All our services are provided over the top of our partners core data networks. By leveraging existing infrastructure they are able to increase the average revenue per user, which brings with it the opportunity to cross-sell and up-sell value added services. We provide our partners with access to our industry leading management and service orchestration layer which gives them full access to manage and control their customer base. a) Portfolio Our platforms allow us to provide a full portfolio of over the top voice services, including PSTN access, mobile clients, conferencing, and softphones.

All aspects of the interface, including logos, images and backgrounds are fully customisable to our partner s needs.

This ability will help them stand out from the crowd in a fast paced market. c) Hierarchy Our solution provides multiple levels of hierarchy to allow partners to fully control who has access to the system, and what they have access to.
