LAS VEGAS, March 1, 2010MegaPath, Inc., the leading provider of managed IP data, voice, and security services in North America, announced today during the Channel Partners Conference & Expo that it has launched DuetSM Hosted, providing users with a fully hosted VoIP offering that removes all management requirements. Adding to its award-winning line of Duet services, Duet Hosted is a complete, cost-effective hosted IP PBX solution that gives businesses a feature-rich and scalable alternative to traditional phone service and expensive equipment.

“For years, larger enterprises have embraced VoIP to cut costs and increase productivity. Today, mid-tier and small businesses with a distributed workforce can have all the features and functionality in a hosted environment that enables workers to be completely unified whether they are across the hall, across town or across state lines,” said Beth Tyebjee, SVP of Products and Project Management, MegaPath. “As a cloud-based service, Duet Hosted provides the convenience of the Internet without the capital expenditures of investing in onsite infrastructure.”
