Bernd Bosendorfer, Product Marketing Manager of mobilkom austria said: "The decisive reasons for choosing snom were snom IP phones' ability to interoperate with our IMS-based VoIP platform as well as the company's flexibility and willingness to expand its telephone software to meet our requirements."
