Cisco Sales Network in Missouri, MO:About Cisco Unified Communications Solutions by PBM IT - Call (888) 233-647.Cisco Unified Communications Solutions provided by PBM IT provide your business with certified engineering support that allows you to focus on your primary business functions instead of on IT considerations. In 1998, networking equipment giant Cisco Systems got off to an early lead in the VoIP market after acquiring the CallManager product through the acquisition of Selsius Systems. This allowed Cisco Systems to introduce a packet-based voice system that competed with other traditional vendors, such as Alcatel, Avaya, Mitel, Nortel, and Siemens. Since then, these and many other vendors have developed their own proprietary VoIP systems in response to the growing demand for VoIP systems. The Cisco Unified Communications system of voice and IP Communications products and applications helps organizations communicate more effectively by helping them streamline business processes, reach the right resource the first time, and increase profitability. Call routing over the Internet has profound implications. Companies can now employ distributed work forces, unhindered by geographic boundaries. Teleworkers will be given internal phone numbers that relate to direct inward dialing (DID) blocks registered to the closest office. The teleworker phenomenon has the ability to greatly reduce real estate costs associated with each worker. Teleworkers benefit from reduction of transportation costs and being able to spend more quality time with family and friends. The Cisco Unified Communications system is based on the Cisco industry-leading IP Communications portfolio including Cisco CallManager, Cisco Unity, Cisco MeetingPlace and Cisco IP Contact Center and now includes additional innovative products, applications, features and capabilities. The Customer Interaction Analyzer is being introduced to maximize effective communications with customers, a new approach to analytics in the contact center. It uses information from customer interactions, including self service and agent assisted interactions, to determine things like customer distress, agent distress, silence and word patterns. The data helps to give the conversations business context and can help a business to coach and train agents, make changes to processes and self service scripts based upon findings - ultimately creating better customer relationships and growth for the business. At first glance, it seems that without the PSTN infrastructure the cost justifications for VoIP are simple. While PSTN usage can be reduced considerably, it cannot be eliminated totally since the PSTN must handle call overflow and any calls not destined to the remote sites. Also, the extra voice over IP traffic may cause an increase in WAN bandwidth. The cost for this extra capacity will have to be subtracted from the savings achieved from reduced PSTN usage. The step-by-step cost justification example below can be used as a model for other network integration projects. Companies using integrated voice and Web conferencing reported a 30 percent reduction in conferencing expenses (by making integrated conferencing capabilities available in-house and on-network) and an average savings of $1,700 per month in travel costs.
