While your company can utilize only portions of Proximiti’s service set or all of the services that Proximiti provides from wireless services to data network options to telecommunications equipment for your offices and home based workers, you always get the PROXIMITI FRAMEWORKS that is an overall communications management architecture that links your inbound and outbound communications services in a highly integrated and efficient means. And because you are using the IP network to transport much of your telecommunications traffic, your company gets big savings as well as integrated solutions that boost productivity and allow for much more efficient management of communications.
The Proximiti Communications Framework provides great benefits to your business:
• Any inbound call can be routed to any phone, in the office or offices to employees that are mobile or working from home offices. Cell phones can be individual extensions or be linked to desktop extensions so that calls routed to a desktop phone will also connect to that person’s cell phone;
• An auto-attendant can answer all calls and route to any phone registered with the Proximiti Network Framework covering your business;
• One voice mail system serving your office(s) and home based workers;
• Four digit dialing to any extension and with Proximiti phones, simply scroll through an LCD listing of names to choose the person you wish to talk with and you are instantly connected, even to their cell phones.
• Users can typically log in at any phone and the Proximiti Framework will instantly begin routing inbound calls to that phone and allow the user to also retrieve voice mail;
• A company can add users, manage changes, and update information in a easy to use web page making administering the phone system a simple and very fast task (you no longer need to call someone to program your phone system).
The Biggest Advantage of the Proximiti Network Framework: Unmatched Wireless & Desk Phone Integration
• Big Savings on Wireless Bills
• Increased Communications Efficiency: receptionist or auto-attendant instantly routes calls to an extension---and the extension can be a cell phone!
Over the past five years, business communications has changed dramatically with the explosive growth of e-mail and wireless phones. This has kept business in touch like never before, however, the legacy phone systems and network configurations haven’t kept up with how people communicate. As a result, it’s not unusual to see associates talking to prospects, clients, and other associates on cell phones instead of desk phones, driving wireless bills sharply higher and making organized communications within an office much more difficult (inability to transfer a call, the receptionist doesn’t complete calls but instead provides the inbound caller with another number to call, etc.) The Proximiti Network Framework can change all of this and make communications simpler, more powerful, and can substantially reduce wireless costs.
Wireless Changes Everything, Here Comes the Sea Change: VOIP will be the Backbone of Company Communications Networks including Wireless Phone Usage
Businesses have enjoyed over the past 10 years declining costs for voice communications in-office but have largely invested those savings and more in supporting wireless phones for employees and upgrading data networks to include broadband services for data applications. In fact, it is not unusual for the wireless bill to dwarf the traditional telephone service costs and broadband data costs at most businesses. This cost is growing for business more than 14% per year and while cell phone rates have declined moderately in recent years, the usage rates have climbed substantially.
Most businesses face the conflict of offering employees, associates, customers, prospects, and partners the benefits of wireless communications (instant connection, lower voice mail jail situations, and so on) with the escalating costs of wireless phones.
A common scene for many businesses is the following:
(a) employees using cell phones from their desks or within the office for business calls;
(b) a receptionist or administrative assistant giving inbound callers cell phone numbers for employees, slowing down essential business communications, and effectively training inbound callers to use cell phones to contact key personnel rather than the office phone.
(c) the controller opening the cell phone bill or approving expense reports with cell phone bills attached wincing at the size of the bills.
It is not unusual for almost 50% of wireless phone minutes for employees to be used on premise. The net effect is that business has at least two parallel phone systems to support.
