<div dir="ltr">Max,<div><br></div><div>No, we don't have our own Broadsoft platform we have a white label solution from a wholesaler. With that being said the wholesaler hasn't implemented UC-One, SMS through MessageNow, Mobilelink with Callthrough, or Sprint WMI integration. So they only sticky Broadsoft features that our clients use and would notice are gone if we moved away from Broadsoft are really the toolbar and Broadworks Anywhere. Everything else I think all the other platforms do. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We have looked at buying our own Broadsoft, but it just cost too much and is too complex. It amazes me how you can spend so much on a Broadsoft server, and then you must get an Acme Packet, external pop3 server, and and a whole slew of other software and hardware not from Broadsoft just to have a complete Broadsoft solution. A hosted, service provider oriented white label solution works well for our business plan.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does any of the other carriers besides Sprint have a solution similar to WMI? The WMI solution is neat, but Sprint is dead last in carrier rankings. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>

I'm curious because I assume that you have a significant investment in your current platform and dumping that investment would require an even larger investment in another platform (not counting the training, migration, etc...). Metaswitch for example is a fantastic platform, but I don't know of any installation running it for less than $250k.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I get the idea of switching from Broadsoft to have service differentiation, but I'd counter with two points. 1) Everyone is using Broadsoft because it works, and 2) if you switch to another licensed platform you'd still be competing with other providers using that platform.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So if you are really looking for a unique one of a kind platform you'd probably be better served by rolling your own and partnering/paying Sprint for their WMI platform for your mobile needs.</div>

No real SMS integration yet (but you can easily add this since<br>
Accession supports XMPP)..<br>
