Buy your IP PBX at Costco

Small businesses can now go to Costco.com for an IP PBX.  The membership warehouse wholesaler better known for its discount prices and free food samples will be selling Quanta Computer's Syspine Digital Operator Phone System loaded with Microsoft's Response Point phone system software..

Selling a small business phone system through Costco might seem to be a bit of a risk, but Microsoft seems confident enough in its product's easy setup and voice recognition system to give it a try.   The Syspine includes a base unit appliance with a four line analog phone adopter, four desktop phones and Response Point software. Businesses can ad up to 50 Syspine IP310 business phones to create a complete small business phone solution without additional license fees. If a small business does need help, Microsoft is more than happy to point out their searchable-by-zip-code list of Response Point specialists is available on line.

Microsoft isn't the only company to jump into mass market channels. Earlier this year, Fonality partnered with Dell to make Fonality's Small Office software available in an IP PBX bundle on Dell hardware.
