The development of information and communications technologies (ICT) has introduced a global marketplace in which virtually any location can be a source of competition. This means even a developing country can be a tech hub providing a wide range of services with the right investment.   PostCy Data Center Limited, provider of dedicated servers and Web services, was established in the small island of Cyprus. But it now provides services across Europe and in its own country to businesses across all industry sectors.

As the company continues to grow, it is adding new services for its customers by making use of its own data centers in Cyprus and Dublin, Ireland. It announced the development of an exclusive PostCy SIP Trunking and Direct Inward Dialing (DID) solution to give businesses the reliability they need in this region.

The DID service will give businesses the ability to have a global presence no matter where they are. By acquiring local numbers in different countries, businesses can dramatically lower their communications costs. Whenever customers or other businesses call the DID number, international rates will not apply. Not having to worry about these rates means businesses can communicate more freely with their customers to develop relationships for long-term business developments.

Currently the company offers the numbers to more than 40 countries around the world, giving businesses in Cyprus and elsewhere access to markets which previously were not available to small businesses.

“Connect with us through your existing PBX (News - Alert), or indeed your mobile phone using a SIP trunk, and we can actually ensure you save up to 90 percent on traditional long-distance calls,” said the company in a statement.  

The PostCy SIP Trunking doesn’t require additional hardware, and it can be deployed quickly without affecting any on premises installations.

Some of the key features include:

• One account, multiple applications: PBX, Calling Card, and Softphone
• Supports Legacy or IP-Based Systems
• High-quality, low cost call origination and termination
• No charge per channel
• Automatic recharging
• Pay-as-you-go pricing
• Optional gateways or softphones

Whether it is PostCy in Cyprus or the many different hubs popping up around the world, data center investment is making it possible for small companies to start providing regional coverage. Hopefully this will lower prices and introduce more innovative solutions that cater to the specific needs of these regions that are not being covered by multinational companies.
