Vocalocity Launches New Mobile, Desktop and Productivity Plugins
New Solutions to Help Businesses Increase Sales, Improve Productivity and Strengthen Customer Relationships
Vocalocity, which was acquired last month by Vonage (NYSE:VG), today launched several new technology solutions including completely revamped mobile and desktop applications and new Salesforce.com and call history plugins. These feature-rich solutions are built to help businesses amplify their customer relationships and conduct business how they want, when they want and from wherever they’d like.
“Customers are the lifeblood of every business, and it is important that a business’s phone system – the conduit to its lifeblood – is built with features that keep customer relationships going strong,” said Wain Kellum, former CEO of Vocalocity and now president of Vonage Business Solutions. “Businesses no longer run on a pre-set schedule, making it more important for owners and employees to have access to their office phone system all the time, from any location.”
Kellum continued, “We continuously listen to the needs and wants of our customers, and we strategically build and deliver solutions that directly address their demands and the pain points of the business industry. Our new applications and plugins are exactly what business owners and their employees need to manage their companies.”
Available for iPhone® and Android™ devices, Vocalocity’s mobile applications allow users to extend many of their business phone service features to their smartphones. In addition to voice service, the apps allow users to monitor call queues, read voicemail transcripts, review call history, and manage account and extension settings among other capabilities. These apps are free to mobile customers.
Vocalocity’s newest desktop application extends the features of its virtual PBX to the office computer. Users can control incoming and outgoing calls and manage their extension settings, directly from their monitor. Vocalocity’s desktop includes a full portfolio of customizable plugins, including one-click dialing and call monitoring for employee training. This application is also free to Vocalocity customers.
Vocalocity’s call history plugin provides a screen pop-up that shows call history information every time a customer calls. This puts all the pertinent details of a customer’s interactions with the business right in front of users, including previous call-in dates and the time, direction, length and call results, as well as quick access to voicemail. This plugin is free to Vocalocity customers.
Designed to help businesses increase sales and improve customer service, Vocalocity’s new Salesforce.com plugin, available to customers for just $2.99 per month, improves the speed and quality of information available with each call by automatically showing relevant caller information in real-time. This plugin allows users to create new contacts, leads or accounts; automate call tracking; and quickly log customer and lead interactions.

HOLMDEL, N.J., Dec. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE: VG), a leading provider of communication services connecting people through cloud-connected devices worldwide, has appointed Joe Redling President of Consumer Services – U.S. and Canada, effective immediately. Mr. Redling will report to Chief Executive Officer Marc Lefar.
Mr. Redling will manage the P&L of Vonage's core business, which includes domestic and international long distance calling products and services. Effective with his appointment, Mr. Redling resigned from the Company's board of directors, on which he had served since 2011.
"We are excited to have Joe join us to lead consumer services in the U.S. and Canada," Mr. Lefar commented. "Joe's strong public company and consumer marketing leadership experience, as well as his intimate familiarity with Vonage from his extended service on our board, make him uniquely qualified to lead our core business."
Mr. Lefar continued, "Strong financial performance in our core business remains essential as we continue to make steady progress on our strategic growth priorities in international expansion and mobile services, while also expanding into the small and medium business segment with our recent acquisition of Vocalocity. The addition of Joe to the team enables us to increase senior leadership focus on our growth priorities, which will propel Vonage toward becoming the premier provider of cloud-based communications for consumers and businesses."
Mr. Redling has more than 20 years of executive experience in consumer marketing, operations and digital media across multiple industries. He brings a wealth of public company knowledge and experience to his new role with Vonage, with particular expertise in transforming and optimizing subscription-based businesses through the use of digital platforms.
"Over the last five years, Vonage has dramatically improved its financial and operational performance. It has been a privilege to be a part of that transformation as a member of the board, supporting Marc and his senior leadership team as they laid the foundation for growth," Mr. Redling said. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work more closely with Marc and the team as we continue to execute on our core business strategies, while also accelerating our expansion into new growth areas."
Mr. Redling was President and Chief Executive Officer of NutriSystem, Inc., a weight loss company, from May 2008 to November 2012, and served as Chairman of the company's board of directors until April 2012. He led three strategic shifts for NutriSystem during his tenure including moving the organization to a digital platform; expanding the company's product line to engage new customer segments; and launching the company into retail.
Prior to joining NutriSystem, Mr. Redling held a number of executive positions at AOL from 1999 to 2007, including Chief Marketing Officer; President of AOL Access; President of AOL Paid Services and Customer Management; and Chief Executive Officer of AOL International. He led the transformation of AOL from the leading dial-up internet service business reaching more than 30 million subscribers, to broadband. He also managed AOL's extensive call center operations, including 18 call centers in eight countries and more than 10,000 employees worldwide. Mr. Redling also has held operating and marketing executive positions at other major corporations, including Time Warner. He earned his B.S. in Business Management from St. Peter's University.

My opinion, Vonage is undervalued... yes I know Revenues have been ever so slightly declining over the last three years, but I believe they are working to reverse the Revenue trend with new product, services offerings and INTERNATIONAL expansion/partnerships.
Revenue Chart
Fat trimming to revenue producing activities were needed to achieve Free Cash Flow and Profitability. Huge revenues are no good if you are losing money.
Here is a look at Revenues per Employee for the last SIX years- you can see why they became profitable!
Revenue per Employee Chart
They certainly reversed the Free Cash Flow and Profitability Trend. The effects of that, debt paid off, lowered interest rates, cash generation, and asset recognition accounting benefits, PROFITS are shown dramatically during the last 7 quarters on my Shareholder equity chart.
This is a real easy to see indicator of Vonage's TURNAROUND!
Sharholder Equity Chart
Let's look at is where they are RIGHT NOW.
To do that, we will look at charts of the 6 common Comparison ratios, comparing Vonage to 19 other telcos.
1.) EV/EBIDTA
2.) PRICE/FCF
3.) PE
4.) FWD PE
5.) PEG
6.) PRICE/SALES

Use zoom to see better.
Vonage is the most Undervalued in ALL SIX?
ONE position, as the most undervalued, could be a fluke, THREE a coincidence. BUT SIX? That's not all, Vonage is rated at or near the bottom in these comparisons when compared to the whole USA Tech Sector! Here's p/fcf, just click the pe, peg, tabs etc...

Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE: VG), a leading provider of communication services connecting individuals through cloud-connected devices worldwide, today announced the grant of U.S. Pat. No. 8,223,720 titled "Systems and Methods for Handoff of Mobile Telephone Call in a VoIP Environment." This invention allows a mobile handset user who is on a voice-over-IP call to seamlessly move between multiple wireless data connections without dropping the call. The '720 patent was granted approximately 7 months after filing under the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's new Prioritized Examination Procedure.
The grant of the '720 patent reflects Vonage's ongoing innovation supporting its mobile growth initiative, including its new Vonage Mobile app for Android and iPhone smartphones which enables free high-definition calls and texts to other app users worldwide, as well as low-cost international calls to phones without the VoIP app. This is Vonage's third patent to issue in six weeks (see previous release), reflecting Vonage's commitment to develop and protect useful and innovative technologies to better serve the needs of Vonage's customers.
"Our recent success obtaining this and other patents is a result of the focused efforts of our technical teams and the sound execution of our intellectual property strategy," said Chief Legal Officer Kurt M. Rogers.

On May 24th 2006, Vonage (VG) went public at $17 a share riding high on a new technology at an affordable price point. The company's key product, Voice over Internet Protocol, (VoIP), had been making the price of communicating cheaper since its inception in 2001. Vonage was not shy about touting this fact in the face of traditional communication giants like AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). The sky was the limit or so Vonage thought.
(click to enlarge)
While the value of VoIP in communication has increased, Vonage has spent the better part of the last six years reeling from a poor IPO and fending off lawsuits from all sides; competitor, client, and shareholder. During this time, the niche Vonage once tried to pioneer has expanded. Microsoft (MSFT) has acquired Skype for $8.5 billion and larger internet companies such as Google (GOOG) have built presence with the likes of Google Voice. Cable and satellite companies like DirecV (DTV), Dish Network (DISH), Charter (CHTR), Comcast (CMCSA), and others began bundling VoIP into packages while Vonage struggled.
So why talk about Vonage now? Yesterday's patent news may indicate a major fact - Vonage now is not just the IP defendant. With two new patents, Vonage will now be recognized as innovator of intellectual property which has created a lot of benefits utilized by VoIP today. One such patent, U.S. Pat. No. 8,213,594, (titled "Method and Apparatus for Placing a Long Distance Call Based on a Virtual Phone Number"), relates to the IP which makes VoIP so useful to travelers and business alike. The virtual number allows an entity to call from a number that appears to be in the same country and at local rates. The virtual number and other Vonage IP may lead to a swing from the unfavorable legal landscape that once led Vonage below a dollar a share to future profitability.
As Vonage IP expands, it increases the likelihood of the company regaining a competitive advantage over competitors like 8x8 (EGHT). In addition, those communication giants who once fought Vonage on IP issues may be paying royalties in the future. Vonage IP realization also increases the likelihood of an acquisition by a suitor looking to get into the telephone market. Perhaps Vonage and Facebook (FB), which may want to quickly expand into a diversified internet business, would make interesting bedfellows beyond their association as IPO failures.
