Istra Enterprise Overview

Istra Enterprise is a Private Phone Network Platform that allows large multi-site enterprises to capitalize on the benefits of IP telephony and Unified Communications. The platform is ideal for enterprises aiming to simplify the management of their telephony infrastructure and services. It also dramatically reduces the cost of delivering both basic phone service and advanced communications solutions to the enterprise. 

Istra Enterprise supports migration away from inefficient and incompatible infrastructure, allowing an enterprise to gradually build an optimized private phone network around its specific needs.

Istra Enterprise is designed to eliminate vendor lock-in by easily connecting different types of hardware, software and network configurations, allowing the enterprise to choose the technologies and vendors that best suit its purposes. It also allows enterprises the flexibility to choose whichever combination of hosted and premises-based solutions makes the most business sense.

In addition to providing the significant cost savings of IP telephony, Istra Enterprise delivers flexible and highly scalable user-centric services that are device, network and location independent. This Unified Communications approach dramatically improves productivity and collaboration.

With Istra Enterprise employees are effectively connected from any phone, mobile device, computer or business application including web browser, email, CRM and IM.
