Enterprise-class hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) Aptela is now an official sponsor of the 2010 Allstate National Exclusive Agent Conference (NEAC).

The annual Allstate National Exclusive Agent Conference (NEAC) will be held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD, just outside of Washington D.C., on May 5-8, 2010. Members of the National Association of Professional Allstate Agents (NAPAA) will be attending the said conference.

Douglas Strahan, the president and chief executive officer of Aptela, stated for over two years now as agencies make the shift to Agent-Owned Technologies, Aptela has been working closely together with Allstate agencies all throughout the U.S. The company provides more than one hundred Allstate agencies from all over the country with phone service and robust PBX (News - Alert) functionality.

Insurance agencies are also struggling with the same difficulties that other small businesses have. This includes how to lessen operating expenses and decreasing capital overheads while at the same time getting the most out of productivity and efficiency. Allstate agencies can now gain access to vigorous communication features with the hosted VoIP solution from Aptela. The features of the VoIP solution are both flexible and cost-efficient.

George Cochrane, an Allstate Principal in Frederick, Maryland, stated that the phone service provided by Aptela supports his ability to offer his customers with top notch service. Additionally, he has lessened his phone expenses by at least 20 percent and he now has more functionality that what he had with his previous provider.

Hosted VoIP is sought after and effective for insurance agents who require business-class phone service at a small business price, seamless mobility so they can access the corporate phone system wherever, and unified multi-site communications that keep a consistent image and service level. It is also ideal for those who need easier remote work and telecommuting to enable agencies to grow business without an increase in expenditure.
