"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."
"Siemens Enterprise Communications' OpenScape Office LX platform has helped us continue delivering exceptional support to customers. The platform ensures that we communicate effectively with clients at all times while giving us the flexibility to accommodate future growth."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Efficient communication requires multi-modal tools with high user acceptance achieved through ease of use. The OpenScape UC Solution meets this criterion."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We've enabled new services for clinical and ancillary staff from wireless access of patient details to RFID tagging of critical ward equipment."
"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."
