New York & Syracuse, New York - M5 Networks,
the Northeast's leading outsourced IP
phone system provider, and Nicom Technologies, Inc.,
a national provider of advanced communications solutions,
announced today that they will work together to ensure
that small and medium-sized
businesses in the metro New York area are able to
take advantage of the same IP telephony solutions
that larger enterprises currently enjoy. By participating
in M5's Partner Program (announced earlier today),
Nicom will work together with M5 to simplify telecommunications
vendor management, lower overall
operational costs, deliver proactive customer service
and provide best of breed telephony applications.
Historically, mid-size businesses
have been responsible for piecing together their telecommunications
solutions from a local phone company, long distance
provider, Internet Service Provider and phone
equipment supplier. Most mid-size business customers
could not afford many of the new telephony
features and applications being offered to large,
multi-national organizations and certainly have not
had the internal staff required to support the deployment
of these systems.
"Today's announcement demonstrates
our ability to respond to the needs of our customers,"
said
Christopher Daniels, CEO of Nicom Technologies. "After
nearly ten years of meeting our customers'
needs with on-site telephony systems, our new relationship
with M5 Network will allow us to fully
leverage the advancements in IP telephony technology.
While M5 has demonstrated its ability to serve customers
with up to five hundred (500) employees, we feel this
is a terrific alternative for our customers
ranging from ten (10) to seventy-five (75) employees
who want advanced features without the headaches
of managing it themselves. "We are excited about
this partnership with Nicom as it is refreshing to
see a company with deep roots in the traditional PBX
environment recognizing us as an industry leader and
selecting us as their trusted partner to deliver an
outsourced IP phone system solution," said Dan
Hoffman, President and CEO of M5 Networks. "We
respect the relationship that Nicom has developed
with its customers in the New York area and are confident
that we can maintain that trust when called
upon."

About M5 Networks
M5 Networks is the leading outsourced IP phone system
provider in the Northeast. By outsourcing
to M5 instead of buying another phone system and signing
more local and long distance contracts,
businesses save valuable time and hard dollars. M5
was founded in 2000 by the same management
team that ran Interport Communications, the ISP pioneer
for New York businesses. M5 builds on that
legacy by continually innovating to improve our outsourced
phone system solution, which includes
Verizon, Sun, AboveNet, Sprint, Qwest, Broadwing Communications
and VocalData. M5 has received
the Pulver 100 Award as a Communications Growth Company
for three consecutive years (2002-2004),
as well as Frost & Sullivan's 2004 Entrepreneurial
Company Award and Internet Telephony Magazine's
2004 VoIP Service Provider Award. In addition, the
strong demand for M5 services has enabled M5 to
achieve financial stability in a short period of time.
