Positioning Hosted Offerings
 You ARE THE CLOUD

yourself as offering cloud-based solutions

personalized assistance.

C15 in your network, you control every aspect of the delivery of the service to them.
 You already have the investment made in both C15 hardware & software to deliver these
services today
 More than likely you already have all you need to start offering these services today.
 Additional software licenses may apply to add more advanced functionality when required by certain customers. NO
HARDWARE is required.
