Dan Hoffman, M5 Networks, with Carl Ford
M5 Networks is one of the country's leading outsourced IP phone system providers. Trustworthiness is at the heart of M5's philosophy and business model. By outsourcing to M5 instead of buying another phone system and signing more local and long distance contracts, businesses save valuable time and hard dollars. M5 was founded in 2000, and since inception has been entirely focused on delivering the most reliable business phone system service in the industry.
M5 is continually innovating to improve our outsourced phone system solution. M5’s core technology partners include Cisco, Verizon, Sun, AboveNet, Sprint, Qwest, Focal Communications and VocalData. M5 has been named to the Pulver 100 list for four consecutive years (2002-2005), VoIP Magazine’s 20 Companies to Watch in 2006, and FierceVoIP's Fierce 15 list in 2005 and has received Frost & Sullivan's 2004 Entrepreneurial Company Award and the 2004 & 2005 VoIP Service Provider Award and Best SMB Provider Award from INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine. In addition, the strong demand for M5 services has enabled M5’s management team to run the business conservatively, regularly reinvesting profits and maintaining financial stability.
Carl Ford spoke with Daniel Hoffman, President & CEO of M5 Networks.
As President and CEO of M5, one of America's leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers for small and midsized businesses, Hoffman has redefined the business phone system market by replacing traditional phone systems and phone company arrangements with an outsourced VOIP solution that businesses truly trust.
Personable, approachable and a true visionary, Hoffman was named one of 18 nationwide winners of the 2006 Best Bosses Award by Winning Workplaces, a nationally known clearinghouse for best practices in workplace excellence and innovative people practices, and FORTUNE Small Business. This national honor recognizes the most dedicated, passionate, innovative, inspirational and driven leaders of small and midsize businesses nationwide for creating tightly knit workplaces and inspiring intensely loyal workers.
