Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (OTCPK:CRWE)
Crown Equity is a consulting organization which provides and assists small business owners with the knowledge required in taking their company public, and has re-focused Crown Equity's primary vision with its aligned group of independent website divisions to providing media advertising services, as a worldwide online media advertising publisher, dedicated to the distribution of quality branding information, as well as search engine optimization for its clients.
Crown Equity announced recently that its subsidiary company, Crown Tele Services Inc. (http://www.crownteleservices.com) is still moving forward after dissolving its joint venture with Communication Expert Corporation and will gradually start rolling out its internet based voice and video service IP-PBX solutions this year.
Hosted IP-PBX lets you share a number of incoming phone lines among a larger number of extensions, so it's not necessary to pay for a separate line for every office employee or workstation, which saves money. But the implementation and ongoing maintenance of an VOIP PBX system requires a type of expertise that your IT staff may not have. And if you go with a commercial product, the up-front costs for the hardware and software may be high.
The cornerstone of Crown Tele Services Inc. strategy is to meet the highest standards when it comes to delivering VoIP communication solutions specifically designed to meet the market needs.
Commenting on the venture with Crown Tele Services Inc, Kenneth Bosket, president said, "We are still excited with this opportunity to expand our footprint in this valuable market. The demand for internet-based voice and video services is growing exponentially and our new subsidiary Crown Tele Services Inc. has launched its new website and intends to emerge as a service provider of choice."
