“ClarusIPC Plus+ 2.6.3, combined with our previous enhancements over the last two years, continues Clarus’ evolution from an automated testing solution to a full Cisco VoIP management suite,” said Gurmeet S. Lamba, senior CP of Product Development at Clarus Systems. “Our latest version offers essentials in end-to-end VoIP management in what we identify as our Four Pillars: Automated Testing, Performance Monitoring, Configuration Management and Business Intelligence.”

“Users will also realize benefits from the enhanced Call Utilization which provides monitoring and long term trending of Route Lists/Groups, including SIP trunks,” Lamba added.

The metamorphosis of ClarusIPC Plus+ has been validated by the adoption and implementation by Fortune 100 Enterprise customers in key verticals such as financial, healthcare, energy as well as government and education.

The customer benefits from our rich feature set without the need dedicate resources and time to learn complicated VoIP management software.”
