As organizations turn to BYOD, IT managers are assigned with the task of addressing the challenges associated with it. In order to implement BYOD successfully, organizations need to ensure that everyone across the enterprise network stay connected. In light of this, CounterPath (News - Alert), a provider of VoIP management software for mobile phones, is offering a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)-focused solution to IT managers.

With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets supporting various platforms, IT mangers are also scrambling as to how to manage not only all the devices that are now touching their networks, but the applications that are being used over it.

According to CounterPath, while the impacts of BYOD are widespread, organizations need to immediately address security and support for device management as immediate concerns. CounterPath provides the expertise that IT managers can leverage in order to take full advantage of unified communications and BYOD in the burgeoning Mobile VoIP market. CounterPath has already signed up Enterprise or Enterprise channels partners with the cloud-hosted Client Configuration Server (CCS) and Bria softphone products.

Bria softphone enables users to make video calls, send messages, manage their presence and collaborate with colleagues all from within an enterprise-rich feature softphone application. The VoIP management solution can support in-house or remote communication, so IT managers get the flexibility in where they deploy it and across the devices they choose to support.

The software is created as 'Carrier-Grade' solution, and is constructed to meet standard security protocols and is successfully tested and certified across multiple vendor platforms. CCS, a cloud-hosted service, opens up the enterprise channel in a unique way by assisting in the delivering process of the client from CounterPath through partners to the final Enterprise end user. The solution has been built to alleviate BYOD concerns and help make the deployment and management of softphone applications simplified and seamless.

"Bria and our cloud-hosted service is an excellent solution for our enterprise customers looking to leapfrog BYOD challenges and expedite the deployment of a unified communications solution across their organizations," said Todd Carothers, CounterPath executive vice president of Sales and Marketing, in a statement.

"There is a significant shift happening in the Enterprise due to the push of BYOD. CIOs are looking for CounterPath and other softphone vendors to manage the plethora of devices and OSs that can quickly cause headaches in the BYOD era,” Carothers added.
