Verizon Introduces New One-Stop Web Portal for Small Businesses Across America
Verizon‘s newly redesigned ‘Verizon Small Business Center’ offers unique array of advanced, affordable, easy-to-use online business technology tools including web collaboration, professional networking and online software. Small businesses need a lot more than e-mail and Internet access to be competitive, especially in today’s challenging economy, so Verizon has built the Small Business Center to offer small businesses leading-edge technology tools and business resources to assist them in becoming more agile, productive and efficient – all appropriately scaled for the needs and budget requirements of a small business, and all conveniently integrated on a single Web portal. The centerpiece of the new business portal is the Verizon Collaboration Center, powered by Cisco WebEx technology, with voice and Web conferencing that enables users to collaborate with peers, clients and vendors in a virtual environment that works like an Intranet. Licensed users can share documents and calendars, discuss ideas, set goals, and manage projects and business operations.
With the Verizon Web Meeting add-on, users can meet online – in real time – with co-workers, partners, suppliers and customers. Since this is all done online, travel costs are reduced and operating efficiency is increased. The Verizon Collaboration Center is a hosted service available anytime there is Internet access. It does not require any hardware or software investment. There is also no need for in-house IT support, which helps small businesses save even more. Since the service is Web-based, all that is required is a computer (PC or Mac), an Internet connection and a Web browser. A Verizon Collaboration Center user pack for one to five employees costs $24.99 per month, with other discounted rates available when even more users are added.
