1. Customer contact

The Internet, e-business, wireless communications and a host of other advances are giving businesses more choices in the way they manage their customers.

2. Improved bottom line

The wide range of customer service and communications applications that are possible with Avaya IP Office deliver economic and operational benefits – lower network costs through trunk consolidation, toll bypass between sites, self- administration and management. IP Office also enables audio / video conferencing for more productive use of your peoples’ time, lower travel costs through collaborative applications, higher customer retention rates.

Customer Quotes - “We bought an Avaya IP office and Connect NZ did a great job of understanding our needs. Their delivery lived up to the promise. Installation went very smoothly and post-implementation support has been great. I have found Connect NZ to be very, very supportive and reliable.” Jean McAlevey - Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union, Wellington

3. Evolves with your business

With Avaya you are able to choose either Digital,IP, analogue, or any combination of the three. It allows you to deploy the technology which best suits the requirements for individual users, and allows the system to evolve along with your business. Converging LAN/WAN networks, if only for internal communication, can have significant financial benefits. However, while advances in IP telephony are being made at an incredible rate, how quickly you wish to take advantage of these advances is entirely up to you.

4.The virtual enterprise

 

Today, businesses are more virtual, more collaborative, and more reliant on an extended network of partners, suppliers and employees spread across remote locations. Avaya IP Office supports these critical applications and delivers the networking and remote access capabilities that enable extended enterprises to collaborate and communicate reliably.With IP Office, everyone in the organisation has access to the full IP Office capability whether they are working in a branch, remotely at home or travelling around the country.

Customer Quotes - “We looked at the market and the Avaya offering was more mature than the others which had a bunch of third-party add-ons. Any technical organisation is only as good as its support, and Connect NZ’s support was outstanding, and continues to be so. The project was a blazing success – a very successful outcome.The people at Connect NZ are competent, capable, technical and a pleasure to deal with.” Bruce McPhail - Trustees Executors, Wellington

 

Avaya IP Office has it all

Built from the ground up specifically for small to medium sized businesses IP Office has won arguably every technology award worth having…and it is no wonder. It is an all-in-one, modular phone system that has everything a small to medium sized enterprise could want. Easily maintained, and at an affordable price.

Unlike traditional PABX switches or IP only solutions, IP Office provides investment protection and fills the gap between circuit-switched PBX's of yesterday and the IP-only solutions of tomorrow. It can be used as a standard PABX or as an IP system with IP phones…or a combination of both. The choice is yours - migrate to IP when you’re ready.
