VoIP

High-Performance Telephony for Small and Midsize Enterprises
The telephone remains an essential tool for business communications, even in this age of computer networking. To improve productivity and bolster their competitive positions in the marketplace, many larger firms are taking advantage of recent advances in telephony ranging from automated attendants and voice conferencing to integrated voice/data capabilities.

  Typically, implementation of these capabilities is costly and complex, placing them out of the reach of small and midsize organizations. These businesses would need to commit significant resources in hardware and software solutions, as well as IT staffs to maintain them, in order to achieve equal footing with larger competitors, or risk forgoing advanced voice communications entirely. Thankfully, accessing advanced telephony does not have to be prohibitively expensive anymore.

VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) provides the ability to make telephone calls and send faxes over IP-based data networks with a suitable quality of service and superior cost/benefit. Workshift Systems Corporation offers the 3Com® NBX® 100 communications system as an innovative solution that offers the advanced functionality of traditional telephone systems, but without the cost or complexity of old-fashioned voice solutions.

The NBX system makes advanced telephone solutions affordable and practical. 3Com’s network telephone system delivers superb quality, advanced functionality telephony at significantly competitive costs. It enables organizations to operate more productively, reliably, and cost-effectively. Moreover, the solution delivers exceptional value by providing a wealth of features that otherwise would cost extra and require hardware upgrades and service calls. Adding new features to an NBX system usually requires merely downloading software.

3Com NBX systems deliver the industry’s simplest phone system implementation. This is key for small locations, which generally lack the internal resources for extensive technical support. Installing NBX telephones is literally plug-and-play. Rather than wait days, if not weeks, for costly on-site service technicians to add or move phones, employees can move their own phones by merely unplugging their handsets from one network jack and connecting them to another. The NBX system automatically retains each user’s phone number and settings. For groups that are rapidly growing or relying on on-site consultants or temporary workers, this ease of installation permits an NBX phone system to pay for itself in no time.

Features and Benefits of the 3Com NBX System

Scalable — The NBX 100 system supports up to 200 nodes (lines and stations), but no more than 100 central office (CO) lines. The system also supports up to 12 auto attendant ports and 80 storage hours for voice mail.
Reliable — The NBX 100 system offers uncompromised reliability based on a distributed DSP architecture and a real-time call control engine.
Toll-Quality Voice — Provides the high-fidelity voice quality that business users expect.
Easy to Install — Plug in the phone, pull up your Web browser, and point-and-click through user-friendly setup screens.
Built-In CTI at the Desktop — Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) links your PC and telephone. Dial on-screen directly from your customer database or contact list. Get instant “screen pops” of customer records when they call.
Built-In Unified Messaging at the Desktop — Corporate users and telecommuters can use one inbox for their voice messages and e-mail.
One Network — Plug the NBX 100 system and your PC(s) into an Ethernet LAN for a single, unified network infrastructure.
Small Office/Branch Office and Telecommuter Connectivity — Dramatically reduce long-distance expenses by extending telephony and messaging services to remote users over existing WAN pipes. Remote offices no longer require a dedicated PBX. Just connect your 3Com NBX telephones via an IP router to the NBX 100 system at headquarters over a WAN or the Internet. Telecommuters connected to headquarters through virtual private networks (VPNs) can deploy real-time telephony and voice messaging over the same VPN connection.

Workshift Systems Corporation recently implemented the 3Com NBX solution at Titus International Inc. Tim Upton, President of Titus, explains that for his organization, the choice was clear. “As we grow our business, we needed a system that was flexible and scalable. Not only was the 3Com solution price-competitive, it also offered us the benefits of having the latest technology in a system we could manage by ourselves. The ease of administration presents us with significant savings in both time and money.” Upton adds that at Titus, “our people really appreciate the ability to access their voice messages by email, so they can stay connected whether they are in the office or across the globe. Workshift Systems Corporation made the installation of our VoIP solution very straightforward and having the ability to draw on the support of their technical team is a great bonus."

Today’s small and midsize organizations demand telephone solutions that are affordable and easy to maintain, yet deliver the features of powerful telephone systems, including sophisticated call-handling and even call center capabilities. Telephony systems suited for this marketplace must be expandable and inexpensive to own, allowing for simple and cost-effective administration of moves, adds, and changes to manage growth. Such solutions would ensure even the smallest enterprises of highly effective and efficient voice communications and provide parity with larger competitors. Let Workshift Systems Corporation show your organization how the 3Com NBX 100 communications system is designed to meet these needs.
