Bio of CEO
A co-founder of deltathree, Noam
Bardin is the visionary behind the company and chief architect of its global strategy. Mr. Bardin discovered Internet telephony while
working in the smartcard industry in Israel, communicating with his colleagues overseas
via PC-to-PC calling technology. As a
reaction to the poor call quality and the fact that telephones are more universally
available than PCs, he founded deltathree.
Mr.
Bardin served as Vice President of Technology and Chief Technology Officer for deltathree
before being named President and CEO in April of 2000.
He served as Global Network director from November 1996 to May 1997. Prior to founding deltathree he worked with
Ambient Corporations and served as an officer in the Israeli Special forces. Mr. Bardin graduated from the Hebrew University,
Jerusalem, Israel with a degree in economics.
About deltathree, Inc.
deltathree
is a leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications provider. Founded in 1996,
deltathree represents the forefront of innovation in new products, services, technologies,
hosted applications and research and development. deltathree’s early entrance in the VoIP space and the robust
feature set of their offerings have enabled them to build market share well ahead of other
VoIP providers.
deltathree
offers any business with a customer base the capability to provide VoIP communications
services that are "powered-by-deltathree." Each of its partners selects the best
applications for their customers' needs, while deltathree hosts the unique product suite,
effectively manages the customer base, and maintains a service infrastructure. This creates a powerful self-branded
communications channel for the deltathree partner.
The deltathree 'one account for all products' format gives their customers access
to all of the products they choose to sell. Each product can be packaged under that
company's brand and be resold as its own. Additionally, deltathree will provide the
company with the necessary tools to customize the product offering for their customers.
These services are the keys that enable the company to brand their communications products
effectively, as well as manage their entire customer base from a simple desktop browser.
deltathree has tailored a variety of programs for businesses to connect to, and
leverage, deltathree's hosted applications and privately-managed global VoIP network.
These
programs include the Reseller Program and the Network Partner Program, which represent
partnership opportunities for carriers and ISPs that choose to originate or terminate
traffic via deltathree’s VoIP network.
Meanwhile,
the Online Affiliate program enables Portals and other web sites to maintain a hyperlink
to deltathree’s consumer site, iConnectHere.com, and to receive commissions on users
that sign up from that link.
For
those companies with hardware devices, the Device Partner Program facilitates integration
of deltathree’s VoIP capability into their devices, and enables them to access
deltathree’s services.
All
deltathree programs include complete back office infrastructure with billing, fraud
protection, 24/7customer service, and more.

CEOCFOinterviews: Please
explain deltathree to our readers.
Mr. Bardin: deltathree is a Voice over IP solutions
provider. We provide different voice over IP
products to various types of companies that in turn provide those products to their
customers. When I say Voice over IP, I mean
transmitting voice or phone conversations over the Internet or networks built on the
Internet Protocol. We have a suite of
products that we offer under two general models; the consumer model and the service
provider model. The first is under our own
consumer brand, which is iConnectHere.com. The
second, and larger, portion of our business is taking these products, services and
experiences we have built up via iConnectHere.com, and offering them to other parties
under their own brand name. We enable other
companies to provide Voice over IP services without having to own or manage any
infrastructure themselves.
CEOCFOinterviews: The
products that you have are under other company’s names.
Mr. Bardin: That's correct. We're a solutions provider. We have a platform, a network, and a product and
services infrastructure. We allow other
companies to lease that infrastructure from us and deliver the service under their brand,
without having to get into the complexities of delivering a telecom or voice over IP
service.
CEOCFOinterviews: So
then, these other companies are relying heavily on the service you are providing to them.
Therefore, you must have a very tight relationship with them.
