Operator communications

A PC-based operator console enables your receptionist to provide service that is vastly superior to using an ordinary console. For example, he or she can see and answer priority callers first, see who is on hold, and create multiple queues to differentiate callers. What’s more, for optimum efficiency, he or she can see the extension status before callers are transferred.

 

Contact Center

A Contact Center tool that supports up to 500 agents. With features such as CTI, preview and power dialling, and automated email responses, agents will always be able to expertly handle customer enquiries, whether they are via the web, email, telephone, voicemail or fax.

 

Management applications - MA4000

A suite of user-friendly tools for easy communications system management, including configuration, cost reporting and budget control, and security. And because it is modular, we can assemble and design a package that fi ts your needs precisely.

 

Expense Management

Expense control solutions enhance your organization’s effi ciency and cost validation by providing the right tools to effectively manage IT operations and services. Modular architecture lets you expand system functionality, giving you the flexibility to meet special project requirements and market trends.

 

IP Multimedia Softphone

In today’s work environment, employees require communication tools that allow them to easily share real-time information and ideas as well as provide them with the fl exibility to work from different locations. The NEC Softphone provides employees with a versatile, converged communications tool that offers an impressive array of features and functionality.

In parallel routing all calls via the company’s communications server, reduces telephone cost. The Mobility Access solution can help organizations improvecustomer satisfaction and make business more effi cient, responsive, collaborative and productive.
