Putting an end to brewing speculations, TMC has named Toshiba’s (News - Alert) IPedge Application Server as the winner of its 2014 Communications Solution Product of the Year Award.

With a swarm of innovative new products and solutions making way to the communication technology landscape last year, it was not at all easy to hand pick just a single product for the top honor. Demonstrating great innovation in facilitating convergence of data, voice and video communication, Toshiba walked away with the title for its IPedge Application Server product.

A sophisticated enterprise communication system is not merely a tool to connect with clients, team members or vendor. It sends across strong message about how efficiently you manage your business. According to Toshiba, the well known telecommunication solution vendor, its IPedge Application Server can help the businesses achieve just that. It makes full-featured, business-quality IP telephony affordable for small to midsized businesses, and larger enterprises with branches.

Made for the businesses that want sophisticated communications but want the phone system to be as simple as possible to own, use and manage, Toshiba's IPedge Application Server allows for the management of email and voice mail messages in one place and customization of the management of a bevy of communication applications on one server. With one compact server supporting a rich set of capabilities, it allows 8 users to 1000s of users to stay fully connected from anywhere.

Toshiba’s IPedge server has now been made compatible with its Strata CIX business communication systems. By integrating three important applications into a single server, the IPedge Application Server for Strata CIX saves businesses from investing in a series of servers for separate applications. This also helps simplify the network infrastructure, making it easier for the businesses to opt for a full IP telephony in the future.

The beauty of the IPedge Application Server for Strata CIX is: it allows the businesses to enjoy the benefits of latest IP unified communications and mobility solutions, without having to move entirely to IP.

IPedge Messaging feature enable unified messaging by allowing you receive Strata CIX calls on your smartphone. IPedge Call Manager feature lets you integrate your PC with call control on the Strata CIX, allowing you to make calls from your contacts, see if colleagues are available, text chat with them, and take office calls at your home office.

IPedge Meeting feature allows you to share documents, presentations and video while talking remotely. 

“We are pleased to award Toshiba's IPedge Application Server with a 2014 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award. The IPedge Application Server has demonstrated true innovation and is amongst the best solutions that facilitate voice, data and video communications brought to market in the past twelve months,” CEO of TMC, Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), explained in a statement. .

“We are honored to receive the 2014 Communications Solutions Product of the Year award for our IPedge Application Server. Toshiba's IPedge Application Server gives users of legacy Strata CIX/CTX systems the application benefits of the IPedge without requiring them to entirely move to IP. It delivers an affordable solution that lets users mix-and-match digital and IP endpoints as needed for their businesses,” Brian Metherell (News - Alert), vice president and general manager of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., noted in a statement.
