"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"We've enabled new services for clinical and ancillary staff from wireless access of patient details to RFID tagging of critical ward equipment."
"Continuously driving efficiencies and customer service improvements is part and parcel of our team. The Unify OpenScape Contact Centre Solution has been a key enabler in our ability to deliver exceptional customer service. The power of the information we can get from the system is world-class and truly enables us to make timely and effective business improvements."
"We have challenged each other along the journey to achieve our goals, and this has led to a friendship between us; one which will inspire new opportunities in the future."
"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."
"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."
"Since the hospital can't stop, we needed a reliable transition. Deployment went very well with no outages and no end user problems."
"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."
