I was impressed with their can-do attitude to what we were previously told would be technical barriers to what we wanted to do Peter Webb, Owner Allens Farm Foehn worked with Allen s Farm to provide a hosted telephony service which helped to overcome the issue of connecting telephony in a remote location. Inbound calls into one site are automatically transferred for free to our other site after a number of rings. Essentially, we can operate as if we re all based in one location. Will Griffin, IT Manager Foehn worked with Prism to connect its offices and remote sites to a hosted telephony service helping improve customer service response times. We now have an easily integrated phone system which can effect disaster recovery plans quickly and it also means we can offer customer service outside of office hours, regardless of where our team is based Damien Sambrook, Head of Infrastructure Foehn Hosted Telephony The modern, agile and cost effective approach One Simple Price All the Features For more information To learn more about Foehn, please call 0844 8462323 or visit www.foehn.co.uk Visit our Modern Telephony Resource Centre for expert advice to help you move to the modern hosted telephony way of doing business.
