Alteva brings international porting to Canada

It's all about being local these days. Well, being a multinational corporation that looks local anyway. Luckily, IP communications is here to help. VoIP provider Alteva is offering Canadian companies the appearance of a local U.S. presence using a local number with a hosted VoIP solution.

"This has never been done on an enterprise level," said Mark Marquez, CIO at Alteva in a release. "The demand for international enterprise deployments is growing and we are ready to meet the needs of our multi location customers and expand the global reach of our VoIP and Unified Communications (UC) services worldwide. Alteva will offer porting capabilities to over 70 countries by the end of 2010."

The hosted VoIP solution will offer enterprises lower up front costs, flexibility, scalability and redundancy measures with live failover. The hosted solution also means easy automatic upgrades. The new offering reminds me in some ways of Verizon's recent announcement [1] of their local calling solution for call centers of businesses that want to maintain a local presence.
