"While the primary project driver was the elimination of a high risk situation (outdated and de-supported voice system), Sauder gained an enterprise voice solution, which was highly scalable, carrier grade resilient, centrally managed, and gained rich features and functionality."
"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."
"Replacing our old Centrex phone system with a SIP - based communications platform has really paid off for the Town of Enfield. The new OpenScape solution significantly reduced our telephony costs while giving us a host of new communications capabilities."
"Since the hospital can't stop, we needed a reliable transition. Deployment went very well with no outages and no end user problems."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"With the upgrade to the current version of OpenScape Voice, cost savings of 20% were made possible due to the virtualization of the server environment."
"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."
"We've enabled new services for clinical and ancillary staff from wireless access of patient details to RFID tagging of critical ward equipment."
"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."
