34 Unify Testimonials

"We made a decision to streamline our communications processes to improve efficiency and collaboration. We needed a partner that could support us on a global scale, and we wanted a proven solution that we could standardize on."

"KIDS is delighted to have had the opportunity to work with Unify to develop and implement the OpenScape Xpert platform. The additional flexibility and utility of this system allows the clinical staff to be transferred between calls, to leave and rejoin, and allows the KIDS operator to create and deconstruct conferences whilst still holding individual personnel on the console. This allows expert medical staff and other key personnel to be maneuvered into and out of whichever call they are needed, so that more than one case and complex discussions can take place simultaneously. The touchscreen console is easy to use, the call handling environment is clearly visualised facilitating logical and intuitive conference call management."

"For us it was particularly important, that no disruption to normal business occurred during the installation period. Customer access remained a priority at all stages of the process. I find it very useful that you can now access almost everything using just your Smartphone. So I can now work while travelling and even from home!"

"Our open profile must be supported by technological solutions that make it easier to work internally in a transparent and harmonized manner: that's why we have decided to grow with Unify."

"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."

"By tapping their 'smart card' against a reader on the computer in any patient room, clinicians are logged on or off that device. When they tap out, they are not actually logged off our system completely; their current session is just disengaged from the computer they are working on at the time. They can then move on to the next patient's room, tap their card, and pick up exactly where they left off."

"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."

"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."

"Siemens Enterprise Communications and Black Box offered an innovative and forward looking solution and service set to take our University forward. Even more, this partnership literally launched the same week as the University's new strategic plan—becomes a very real, pivotal component of CAU’s overall advancement strategy. One of our strategic priorities is to increase institutional capacity and fortify our infrastructure. The new Siemens/Black Box platform squarely meets that objective. We haven't just leveled our telecommunications playing field. We have raised our position on it."

"Conference and event business over the last year increased 40%. That spike tells us that we would have lost 40% of the corporate events because we didn't have the communications technology. This represents a big ROI for us."

"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."

"We expected our partner to deliver full functionality including all equipment, software, and services in a centralized model over a single cabling infrastructure for voice, data and video. A single cabling network allowing Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) would reduce the cost of moving people around, and make PC and telephone connections substantially less time-consuming for IT support."

"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."

"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."

"With OpenScape Voice and the extensive OpenScape Unified Communications solutions, we have achieved more efficient inter-site collaboration, as well as cost reductions."
