Reduced costs – SIP open standards allow the deployment of multivendor hardware and applications.
Future-proofing – NEC’s commitment to SIP open standards will mean your phone system will work on the next generation networks such as BT’s 21CN.
Investment protection – NEC’s policy is to provide most software upgrades free of charge to existing installations.
Manageability – Deploying an IP telephony solution creates the opportunity to reduce support charges by using your data staff to manage the phone network.
Reduced network charges – Taken in isolation, businessgrade IP carrier costs may not be significantly cheaper per minute than traditional PSTN. However, with many of your other services being deployed into a converged architecture, then the overall costs savings can be significant.
Simplified infrastructure – Use your LAN cabling and infrastructure for your voice communications, reducing investment costs and simplifying network management.
Reduced intersite network costs – WAN costs can be reduced in many cases simply by changing a BT leased line to a more modern LAN extension connection. This, on its own, can save businesses thousands of pounds per annum.
Mobile phone integration – Whether it’s your mobile phone, DECT handset or WLAN phone, these can all be used as Aspire extension phones.
Remote workers – Broadband connections now make it possible for home workers to have the same phone features as in the office. For example, call centre staff can now work from their home, making it easier to attract and retain key staff.
Backwards compatibility – Aspire will work with both NGN and existing PSTN networks, ensuring maximum investment. Phone sets can be deployed in any combination of LAN or legacy phone cabling networks.
High reliability – Quality starts at the design stage. High reliability ensures that the planned ROI investment decision is not jeopardised by losses due to downtime.
Return on investment – All the above factors contribute to maximising the financial investment in a new phone system.
