Call Recording

ITC would like to introduce Avaya Contact Store. Contact store is a voice recording application that integrates directly into the Avaya IP Office platform. Contact Store uses an SQL database to store voice recordings from your phone system. Voice recordings can be created from a specific incoming caller ID, a specific user, a group of users or system wide. The recordings are searchable through an internal website and can be searched by user, caller, group, or a date/time period.

Contact Store is perfect for any business that needs to ensure that their calls are being answered and handled properly or any business that needs to keep a record of all of the calls. Contact Store is a very inexpensive and effective call recording solution. Please ask ITC about adding Contact Store to your business today.

Voicemail to E-mail

ITC would like to introduce Voicemail to E-mail integration. ITC offers two types of Voicemail to E-mail integration. There is the Basic integration that simply connects to an SMTP mail server. Basic integration stores your voicemails as .WAV files and composes them into an e-mail and sends that e-mail message to you through your company’s SMTP server. The voicemail will remain on your phone and will also be accessible to your e-mail and any devices attached to your e-mail i.e. blackberry.

The second type of integration is Full Integration. Full Voicemail to E-mail integration simply adds to the basic integration. Full integration connects via MAPI to a Microsoft Exchange Server. When full integration is used a voicemail that is deleted in the e-mail box will also be deleted on the user’s voicemail box as well. This keeps the user from having to delete the message in both places. Voicemail to E-mail integration is just another way that ITC and Avaya are able to add to the mobility and productivity of your business.

3rd Largest Law Firm in Iowa

Business Problem:

The 3rd largest law firm in Iowa was due for a new phone system & voicemail. Their current Tadiran phone system and voicemail was about 17 years old and as a result they were experiencing intermittent failures such as calls dropping, burst of static over the phones, unreliable voicemail access, service response & reliability issues, and regular system reboots. This was having a negative impact on their staff of 125 and reflecting a poor image to their clients. Given the phone system reliability issues, their Tech Committee needed to move fast, but they did not want to make a rushed decision without meeting their objectives of a phone system that supported IP phones, trunks and networking, softconsole for the receptionist, networking 25 users at remote office with centralized voicemail and uniform 3 digit dial plan, easy to manage, low maintenance cost, feature rich, easy-to-use phones, detailed call accounting, both PRI and LD T-1 support, a leading phone system manufacturer, and finally they wanted a local partner that was trustworthy, reliable, repsponsive, knowledgeable and that provided them with a single source for voice and data solutions.

Solution:

Their team met with ITC Communications several times for consultation, information gathering, options review, and recommendations before the formal presentation to their 8 person Tech Committee. ITC presented them with the industry leading phone system, the Avaya Communication Manager, Intuity Voicemail, Avaya Softconsole, Avaya 4610 IP and 4621 IP phones, eCAS Call Accounting, Extreme Networks data PoE data networking, and Cisco routers. After a comprehesive review their Tech Committee chose ITC as their partner based on ITC’s reputation, recommendation and capabilities to deliver a complete end-to-end voice and data solution for their business. For several years now, they have been reaping the benefits of this complete voice & data solution with ITC as their local, single-source partner. One of their key goals was to be viewed in the marketplace as “The most advanced law firm in the state of Iowa.” and this combined Avaya, Extreme Networks, & Cisco technology solution has gone a long way in making that goal a reality everyday.

We would love to do the same for your company and we are anxious to speak with you about your business goals and communications needs. Give us a call, e-mail, text or respond to our blog. We look forward to working with you to elavate your business to your next level of success!

Business Success Story: Assembled Products, Inc.

Business Problem:

Assembled Products, Inc. had a recurring issue with their 15 year old, refurbished phone system, that was causing them significant headaches and having a negative impact on their overall business. To make matters worse they had 4 other tenants in the shared office space using the same problematic phone system. After working with the local phone company, Qwest they called ITC Communications, Inc. in to take a look at the problem and come up with solution.

Solution:

Per the request of Matt Ulrich, our main contact at API we dispatched a technician to test the phone system equipment and diagnose the root cause of the phone system problems. The technician found that their Merlin Legend phone system was antiquated and key modules in the system were in disrepair and needed to be replaced. We met with Matt to discuss the equipment failure issues and options. Our recommendation based on the age of their current Merlin Legend, required investment in replacement equipment, and business need for relability, was to make an investment in a new Avaya IP Office phone system with embedded Voicemail. Matt agreed with our recommendation. ITC then installed the new system and voicemail to support 5 companies on the same phone system. Today, the API and the other 4 companies reaping the benefits. No system outages, auto-attendants, remote access, self-managment, easy-to-use, and cost effective. They are very satisfied with their decision to invest in a new Avaya IP Office phone system and Avaya 5410 Digital phones.
