With Stream, users gain access to an entire Unified Communications platform, including team messaging, presence indication, Hosted PBX capabilities, web, video and audio conferencing, as well as access to the provider’s own unique file sharing service, File Sync &  Share.

Editor’s Bottom Line:

PanTerra’s Stream platform is a bit of a unique offering in the market, one that does not have too many competitor’s. In the Business VoIP space, the closest comparisons to make would be to RingCentral’s Glip platform. Users gain the ability to contextualize everything they do, with team messaging at the fore front of communications. Users can create different conversations for teams, departments, projects or just one on one conversations. An update feed lets everyone know who is working on what, so Stream really expands itself into a collaboration tool just as much as a communication tool.

A softphone is built right into the app as well, but users can also utilize desk phones for a standard telephony experience. Both file sharing and collaborating is made super easy with the Stream app, which can also be accessed on desktops or on mobile devices for true mobility. Another unique aspect of PanTerras is that the service can either be fully managed by PanTerra for a true hosted experience, or self-managed by the Enterprise with their SentraCloud solution, for a tighter control on security and compliance needs.

As I said before, PanTerra’s Streams app allows for some powerful collaboration, replacing obsolete team messaging apps, or even working as a full replacement for something like Slack. Streams adds more than just chat, including content sharing from audio recordings to video HD video conferencing, or even screen share capabilities. Everything is persistent, just as we’ve come to expect from more modern cloud platforms. The integrated file sharing is also HIPAA secure to ensure the tightest security and compliance needs for any Enterprise.

Overall, PanTerra stands as a unique choice if your Enterprise is looking for more than just a hosted phone solution. With their entire Streams platform, your business can eliminate the fragmentation between different solutions, no longer requiring one app for messaging, another for file sharing, and another for web conferencing. Streams can do it all for your business, with the level of management control and privacy that your business is in need of.
