PORTSMOUTH, NH -- (Marketwire) -- 02/04/13 -- Whaleback Managed Services, the leader in managed unified communications services, today announced that Fortune Personnel Consultants of Lexington, a Massachusetts-based executive search firm focused on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, has upgraded its business communications by replacing its global telecommunications solution with Whaleback's CrystalBlue Cloud-based Managed Unified Communications Services. The move to Whaleback has resulted in improved service quality, reliability, flexibility and functionality at a lower cost.

"The difference between our old system and Whaleback's was like driving a horse and buggy compared to a car. Whaleback provides me with the tools that make it easy for me to do my job with competence," said David Mitchell, President of Fortune Personnel Consultants of Lexington. "I have never seen a system better than Whaleback, and the best part is I don't worry about the phones anymore."

Fortune Personnel Consultants of Lexington had become tired of what they were spending on copper lines from their telecommunications provider, and found they didn't meet their needs. The lines weren't easy to configure or change, and the system was unwieldy. There were often service issues and they were addressed slowly. Fortune Personnel Consultants of Lexington would lose phone service for a couple of days at a time.

"In our business, the number of phone calls you make is critical to success. We decided we'd rather be on the cutting edge of communications, and with Whaleback we have found that," said Mitchell. "Whaleback's technical support is awesome. They see a problem before it occurs, and are on top of fixing it like a dog on a bone. Most of the time I'm not even aware there is a problem."

Whaleback also enabled Fortune Personnel Consultants of Lexington to:

• Save Money - Monthly costs are at least a third cheaper
• Use Advanced Calling Features - such as Desktop Fax and Fax to Email, Dial from Computer, Phone Number Portability & Call Forward -- to work outside the office
• Experience High Definition Call Quality - with Polycom HD phones
• Track Calls - Whaleback's CrystalBlue Call View productivity management tool enables views of call details to quickly optimize business performance
