According to Philip Simunek of Fusion Networks, the decision to go with Bicom Systems was based on much more than products and technology. The selling point was flexibility. As conversations with Bicom advanced, Simunek was impressed with the interactive nature of the company and the fact that custom solutions are available when needed.
John Court of Fusion adds that he was impressed that Bicom offered a “great feature-set without nickel and diming you for everything.” Most comparable hosted providers charge for each feature, making it difficult to create an affordable solution.
As is often true, price played a part in the final decision as well. Fusion Networks found both the initial cost to get up and running and the continued costs of maintenance and support lower than the alternatives. Again, this allows for competitive resale prices.
