End point visibility is key to ensuring the highest quality managed services

BroadSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSFT) and OneAccess Networks today announced the commercial availability of BroadCloud™ PacketSmart® integrated with the OneAccess One1540 multi-service router. This integrated offering enables service providers to offer small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise customers managed hosted services that range from assessing network readiness before service installation to ensuring superior quality of voice and video communications services after service activation.

With BroadCloud PacketSmart, service providers can assess the configuration and readiness of their customers' networks to support VoIP and data communications solutions.  By leveraging the integration of BroadCloud PacketSmart with the One1540, service providers can proactively detect and resolve problems for cloud-based IP services delivered on their networks, while realizing reduced capital and operational expenses, provisioning time and truck rolls.  Service providers can also address a broader SMB market with higher value managed cloud services, and improve customer retention and average revenue per user through a higher Quality of Experience.

Once deployed, PacketSmart, together with the One1540 multi-service router, will continuously monitor calls to identify any performance issues on both the business' internal network and the service provider's network, and provide detailed reports on QoS.  Additional benefits include:

• Faster customer installation with the deployment of a single device
• Comprehensive solution that spans the entire service lifecycle, from installation to service delivery
• Ability to proactively address problems and reduce Mean-Time-To-Resolution
• Continuous 24 x 7 network performance monitoring to ensure service availability
• Proactive detection of issues prior to customers sensing and reporting problems can increase customer satisfaction, reduce churn and reduce support cost
