Win a Cloud-Based High-Tech Telephony Makeover

A friend of mine is in marketing, and recently contacted me regarding a contest one of her clients is holding.  The contest depends on how well you can bitch, er, I mean vent about how bad your telephone system is.  If you do a good job of it, you could win a cloud-based makeover.  Here’s the promo for the contest, which I’ve already entered (hey, I can “vent” with the best of them):

What could be better than venting? Well, as far as Greater Philadelphia businesses are concerned, maybe one thing — getting something free & valuable for it. Which brings us to a red-hot, cloud-based (and, take note, currently hiring) Unified Communications solutions provider named Alteva, which, to have a little fun?because, let?s face it, not every business story has to be as dry as chalk ? has launched its My Phone Stinks essay contest.  One lucky company in the Greater Philadelphia area (including the following counties: Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester and Bucks, PA; Mercer, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem, NJ; and New Castle, DE), will get a high-tech makeover.  We?re talking a prize for one year that?s worth nearly $41,000 in cutting-edge equipment, installation fees and UC service simply by having an employee visit http://www.myphonestinks.com/ and submit an essay explaining why ? no cursing, please! — your firm?s existing system is just nothing to phone home about.

Note that the value of the prize, as I found out when I explored the site, is based on the maximum number of telephones & licenses possible.  The reality is that the value is about $44/person/month.  But that includes a high-tech VoIP and Microsoft Exchange and Sharepoint package, and unified messaging.  Not shabby at all.  Good luck!
