Callision is a privately owned business Voice Over IP company based out of New York City providing hosted PBX and Unified Communications.
Initially released as a Click-to-Call[1][2] solution, it evolved over time, moving over to a different business segment. In October 2012 Callision has won the Demo Conference Showcase Competition which put it on the map as a disruptive newcomer of the industry.[3][4]
Callision is a provider of small business Voice over IP (or VoIP) phone services, primarily targeted to hosted PBX for small businesses. Callision specifically serves the small and medium-sized business market.
In 2012, Callsion announced that it had raised $250 thousand in Seed financing. With the new funding, the company announced that it will be shifting its business model to hosted VoIP, as new PBX features would be added, and that the new funding would help accelerate the growth of the company, according to the company press release. In 2013 it was also announced that the company planned to roll out a "first Bring Your Own Carrier" incentive, allowing businesses to retain existing carriers, a move consistent with the industry trend of Bring your own device.[5]
Callision is a hosted virtual PBX. Callision’s technology attempts to optimize the operations of Contact Centers by integrating various means of communication into an all-in-one dashboard. In November 2013 Callision was the first hosted PBX provider to launch a VoIP Hybrid Cloud model, allowing companies to preserve their existing SIP provider while using Callision as an interactive layer.
