ITEXPO, Miami, FL, January 20, 2010 – Aastra is launching the MX-ONE™ Compact to offer small and medium businesses (SMB) a competitive solution to move to pure IP and Unified Communications (UC) at a pace that suits them.
Many businesses today are challenged with multiple tasks of managing a tight budget aimed at reducing communication costs and lowering general operational expenses so as to maximize financial return, while at the same time keeping customers happy and improving staff productivity. Efficient enterprise communications can drive improved employee productivity by delivering tools to enhance collaboration and increase efficiency. Aastra is enabling small and medium businesses to reap the benefits of unified communications in a cost-effective way with a solution especially tailored for their needs.
“What we have done is concentrate the features and benefits of the comprehensive and well-established MX-ONE call control manager to address the specific requirements of SMBs. Now, small and medium businesses can receive the benefits of a full-featured and scalable enterprise grade solution for deployments up to 300 extensions in a cost effective way,” said Tim Whittington, Sr. Vice President and General Manager, Aastra USA.
The Aastra MX-ONE Compact offers clients a Unified Communications solution that includes: • Integrated mobility - By integrating mobile phones into the call manager with fixed mobile convergence, employees can enjoy the features usually provided by a office desk phone on their mobile handsets, making them more responsive and reachable with a single number. • Productivity enhancing tools - Tools such as advanced messaging (for voice mail, fax mail and unified messaging) as well as call screening enable a more user-centric communications experience.
The Aastra MX-ONE Compact provides companies with the flexibility to build a leading edge IP solution in a cost effective and convenient manner. Employees working from home or on the move can become reachable on the same number and benefit from the same features as when in the office.
“Small and mid-sized companies are constantly faced with the need to accomplish more with fewer resources to stay competitive,” said Blair Pleasant, President & Principal Analyst of COMMfusion. “Employees often wear many hats and need to communicate effectively ‘on-the-go’. Aastra’s MX-ONE Compact supports mobile and remote users with the same features as if they were using a desk phone. And the solution is packaged cost-effectively to meet the needs of the SMB market.”
The MX-ONE Compact supports standards-based communications protocols like SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) on both extension and trunk lines and is available with a wide variety of terminals (SIP, IP, cordless for example) and applications (such as Aastra’s award-winning Solidus eCare solution for contact centers).
Aastra will be demonstrating the MX-ONE Compact at ITEXPO in Miami, Jan 20-22, booth #212.
