YBI recognizes the need for startup companies to present a professional telephone presence.  The cost of establishing a PBX and provisioning adequate telephone circuits for a growing business can present a major hurdle for young companies.

To address this issue, YBI maintains a carrier-grade telephony system and makes available direct-dial telephone extensions to portfolio companies on an as-needed basis.  The YBI telephone system provides voice-mail, high-availability call transfer, call-waiting and many other advanced features that enable a startup company to enjoy professional grade telephone service from day one.

The YBI telephony installation creates a cost-sharing collaboration which is continually driving down costs and increasing the range of available services.

In the works are plans to establish low-cost Voice Over IP connectivity.  When upgrades are completed, YBI portfolio companies will realize even greater cost efficiencies in their daily communications.
