Fusion Connect Announces World’s Best POTS Replacement Solution

Published

on

Superior customer experience from our completely US-based Services team led to groundbreaking +667% NPS increase in 2024

ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fusion Connect, a Morgan Stanley company, and a proven leader for connectivity and communications services, is launching a new solution that allows customers to lock in ‘guaranteed not to increase’ pricing for existing POTS lines while transitioning to the industry’s best prices for POTS Replacement technology based upon modern IP services.

“Fusion Connect helped us save thousands of dollars per month,” said Matthew Smith, IT Director, Ken Ganley Companies.

This compelling solution is part of the Fusion Connect full suite of managed network, communications and collaboration solutions. POTS (or legacy copper phone) lines are being decommissioned as this old analog technology becomes outdated, and expensive to support by traditional telcos. Consequently, prices for existing POTS lines are skyrocketing, which has created a sense of urgency for businesses to find a way to get these growing costs under control.

Fusion Connect’s entire POTS Replacement solution is project managed and delivered by a fully US-based installation and support team, making our service even more desirable to customers who are right here in America. By eliminating outsourcing and replacing it with an entirely American-based, highly skilled in-house team, Fusion Connect has achieved outstanding net promoter score (NPS) results, far exceeding industry averages. These strategic shifts reinforce Fusion Connect’s customer-centric approach and underpin the wave of recognition from the industry’s partner ecosystem.

Best POTS Migration and Replacement Offer in Market

Recent survey results among the Fusion Connect partner community reveal that businesses are seeing huge price increases, often paying $300$1000 per POTS line, which is untenable for many businesses! Fusion Connect is countering the trend of soaring POTS line increases by offering customers fixed-rate pricing at strikingly low rates, eliminating the business shock of escalating costs and the disruption customers feel when rushed into replacement projects as the only path to savings.

“Listening to customers, it was clear that some of their toughest communications and financial problems stemmed from their legacy POTS lines,” noted Frederic Dickey, SVP, Product Management at Fusion Connect. “So, we created a new POTS migration solution to curb costs and put customers back in control. Now, customers can save over 75% off their POTS costs initially, when moving to Fusion. And the flexibility on when to tackle their migration to a modern architecture to save an additional 53% cost savings, along with the performance benefits that come from adopting an IP-based solution.”

“We rely on and use Fusion services every day and are happy we moved to their services. Fusion Connect’s strong point is their customer service,” said Matthew Smith, IT Director, Ken Ganley Companies. “We have 54 rooftops, and the telecom services can be a headache, but Fusion Connect helps us stay on top of everything. By using their service, we have been able to eliminate most of our costly POTS lines. Getting rid of our costly POTS lines has saved us thousands of dollars per month.”

Fusion Connect is excited to detail how our new POTS migration and replacement offer will give customers the assurance of rate decreases and the flexibility of determining when they move to a more resilient and effective modern approach. Offer highlights include:

A business-friendly two-step path towards savings, starting with a simple migration of any existing POTS or copper lines followed by a replacement project implemented gradually over the next 12 months.Secure locked-in rates of $85 per line when migrating existing POTS lines to Fusion Connect, followed quickly by further reductions to a special introductory price of $45 per line as the POTS lines are converted over to IP-based POTS Replacement.End-to-end project management by US-based Fusion Connect experts to ensure success from planning to implementation and ongoing operations.

“When evaluating the ideal managed services provider, businesses consistently choose Fusion Connect because of their outstanding reputation and ability to deliver the right custom-fit solution,” said Troy Blanchard, Pre-Sales Engineer at VLCM. “When it comes to POTS migration and replacement projects, Fusion Connect has a depth of expertise and experience that drives customer success. Fusion Connect is known for their excellent customer care and support demonstrating true customer understanding.”

100% American-Delivered Services Demonstrate Customer-Centric Approach

Unlike many providers who choose to offshore customer-facing services such as support and installation in order to trim expenses, Fusion Connect is prioritizing an excellent customer experience over internal cost cutting measures. Fusion Connect decided to cancel outsourcing and bring these operational capabilities back in-house, delivered in America, by a wholly US-based team with deep industry and technical expertise. This translates to stronger customer connection, higher quality of service, and overall better experience.

“Our customers were extremely clear about their preferences for dealing with a fully US-based team. We listened and are now able to deliver a combination of technical expertise, product knowledge, and cultural alignment that is simply a world-class experience for our customers,” said Rod Brownridge, SVP Customer Support at Fusion Connect. “More than ever before, customers feel heard, understood, and supported by individuals who truly grasp their needs and priorities. This enhanced trust and satisfaction is directly reflected in our tremendous NPS upswing of 667% during 2024.”

By switching to fully US-located support, Fusion Connect was able to elevate the quality of care delivered by a team of experts working in the same time zone as our customers:

Proven Expertise: Our workforce has twice the typical industry tenure, giving them the experience and perspective to proactively address customer needs.Deep Products and Tools Knowledge: The team is proficient in the intricacies of our full suite of products with hands-on experience that benefits customers.Customer Connection: Our employees share the same context and alignment as our clients, fostering deeper connections.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

SUNMI Wins 2026 Red Dot Design Awards with Five Products, Leading Global Commercial Industrial Design

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
