TechSoup and BetterWorld Launch National Donation Program

This past week, the excitement ran high at BetterWorld as we launched our national national donation program alongside partners TechSoup Global and Aptela.  The TechSoup+BetterWorld+Aptela partnership creates a unique bundle of telecommunications services that are now available to nonprofit organizations and public libraries as a combination of donated equipment and discounted rates.

BetterWorld’s hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services allow an organization to replace a traditional phone system — typically a premises-based private branch exchange (PBX) — with a software-based virtual PBX that is hosted by BetterWorld and does not require on-site PBX hardware other than telephones and standard networking equipment. Incoming and outgoing calls are transmitted through VoIP technology over a high-speed Internet connection, which can be provided by BetterWorld or any high-speed Internet service provider.

BetterWorld’s services also allow an organization to employ what is referred to as unified communications (UC) — an integrated system of multiple communication services like telephony, call control, voicemail, email, fax, and presence information (a user’s availability status) that can be accessed from any location with a phone, mobile phone, or any Internet-connected device. For example, faxes and voicemails can be received as email messages, and users can place calls or access other in-office voice services remotely through a web interface.

TechSoup considers this BetterWorld offering a GreenTech product because it allows employees to work remotely just as efficiently as they do in the office, therefore reducing travel, office space, and hardware requirements and minimizing an organization’s environmental footprint.

TechSoup Global distributes donated technology to nonprofits and libraries. More than 133,000 organizations have received donations through Tech Soup. They offer 450+ product donations from over 40 donor partners including Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, Intuit, Cisco, and now BetterWorld Telecom.  We want to express our sincere appreciation to both TechSoup and Aptela for their amazing dedication and work to make this important program possible!

In service,

The BetterWorld Team
