We help companies talk to customers when they\u2019re on location or reaching out via the telephone. I started at Spectrio over 12 years ago and work with value-added partners like <\/span><b>Phone.com<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help our clients save money, become more efficient, and sound more professional. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I started in 2006, Spectrio was 35 people and today we\u2019re at 200. We\u2019ve been able to successfully grow our business through partnerships and acquisitions, and working with great companies like Phone.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How did it start with Phone.com?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relationship started based on two companies&#8217; commitment to partnership and mutual admiration. About six years ago Mitch Keller (Spectrio Co-Founder) connected with Alon Cohen (Phone.com Chief Technical Officer). They saw in no uncertain terms that the future was IP phone-based systems, connecting networks for businesses. I had a background in voice network, which made me the go-to guy. I connected with Joel Maloff (Phone.com SVP Strategic Partnerships &amp; Chief Compliance Officer) on partnerships and we were off and running. I still am the de facto sales engineer for Spectrio, working with our sales team on the development and features Phone.com offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Where\u2019s the relationship today?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By successfully marketing to our customers, we built hundreds of Phone.com accounts and extensions. The power of partnership! We found that we needed to build and manage many extensions across our account, so I worked with Joel and Alon on the feature known as <\/span><b>\u2018Replicator\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Through Phone.com\u2019s open API and fair cost point, we were able to build hundreds of accounts with advance feature sets at a fraction of the cost. I personally can\u2019t wait to see what Phone.com comes up with next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more about the company at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectrio.com\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spectrio.com<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
