"Telephony wasn't our core competence, so we didn't want to make large scale infrastructure investments. We needed the right partner to design, manage and roll-out a new system in each country and then centralise things for us. We are a traditional industrial company – we operate on low margins."
"The Cloud communications infrastructure, created with OpenScape UC, gives us the flexibility for optimal support of our company’s sustainable growth strategy."
"Councils are under tremendous pressure to deliver efficiencies while maintaining service levels. Our work with Siemens Enterprise Communications has delivered an enhanced voice infrastructure that has enabled flexible working for all our staff. This will support our next stage development; moving to new offices that will drive further efficiencies."
"Our work with Unify has delivered enhanced customer service through greater management of information. We needed an infrastructure that would move with us. OpenScape Office LX provides the much needed flexibility and scalability as we continue to progress with a shared services agenda."
"Taking your number with you is getting popular around the city. Being able to make and take calls anywhere, on their smart phones or at home offices has been convenient. Once they get it, they run with it."
"We wanted a control center solution that can be optimally adapted to the communication processes in the transport control center. OpenScape Xpert delivers the necessary flexibility for this requirement."
"Siemens Enterprise Communications already knew the company's business and was providing us with good quality service. Maintaining it would lead to less impact in the changeover."
"Even in the world of telephony, all roads now lead to IP communication, which is why the strategic choice for us was OpenScape Voice. This was not necessarily for cost reasons, but because IP communication makes light work of routine tasks and improves employee satisfaction."
"We used to organize business trips for our employees lasting up to two weeks. This travel came at a high cost, let alone the fact that our employees could not perform their regular duties while away."
"The HiPath 3000 system has enhanced our customer service because we can distribute calls to our specialists or deal with peaks in demand more effectively. Staff can locate each other much more effectively, which had been difficult at times before."
"Communications technology is becoming increasingly complex. Its operation requires specialist knowledge and ties up valuable resources. We wanted to change that with the project called 7,000 dial tones."
"Our reception team now sees where everyone is and messages are standardised and easily accessed by different departments. The voicemail system is much easier to access and far more reliable. The system has greatly improved our efficiency and parents are complimentary about it which is the real proof."
"Efficient communication requires multi-modal tools with high user acceptance achieved through ease of use. The OpenScape UC Solution meets this criterion."
"With OpenScape Office Contact Centre, we have been able to deliver world-class customer support while also controlling costs. Moreover, we have achieved a new level of operational flexibility and can scale our resources rapidly to meet changing business demand."
"One of the challenges we face on an ongoing basis is the gap between long-term investment cycles and rapidly-evolving technology. Sometimes, by the time a new technology is deployed, the technology has moved on."
