"We weren't looking for a single provider for our voice service, T1, and managed hosting, but once we started working with Speakeasy all their services were compelling. Speakeasy just makes it all so easy. It's a good value, and we don't have to spend a lot of time thinking about it. We're able to run in a more streamlined manner and focus more on our business."

Company Background

IceBreaker, Inc. is a mobile software company that connects people through engaging and easy to use mobile services. Their flagship product is called Crush or Flush, a mobile social networking community where people view picture profiles from their cell phone or PC to flirt, chat, date, make friends, and express themselves. With offices in Bellevue, Washington and Beijing, China, the company has over 50 employees and an international network of vendors and partners. To stay ahead, this fast growing business aggressively outsources IT management for their voice, data, and hosting services.

Overview

• Challenge
  With a highly mobile workforce and unpredictable growth on the horizon, IceBreaker needed an advanced phone system on a tight budget. They also needed to upgrade their data center service in order to launch their interactive website into full production.
• Solution
  Speakeasy Hosted Voice provides IceBreaker with more flexibility and much lower up-front costs than a PBX. Scaling and moving the system is easy because functionality is hosted on the Speakeasy network. Speakeasy Managed Hosting service was able to meet all IceBreaker's needs, including connectivity to cell phone provider networks. By leasing servers instead of buying them, IceBreaker saved a lot of money up front and simplified management.
• Results
  With Speakeasy, moving to a larger office was virtually effortless, and employees can easily make long distance business calls on the company account using the Remote Office feature. At the same time, Speakeasy's experienced engineers ensure IceBreaker's servers meet their requirements flawlessly, allowing the company to spend less time and money on system administration and IT staff.
