“At Brian Cullen Motors, we aim to make everyone who steps through our doors a customer for life by offering the best car-buying experience possible. Serving the St Catharines and Niagara Falls community, our dedication to providing outstanding customer services required us to replace our outdated phone system with a modern communications solution that would ensure we continue to meet our high service standards. We turned to the experts at Sideline Telephone who installed a next-generation Unified Communications server from E-MetroTel. The E-MetroTel UCx450 server came loaded with all of the features we were looking for right out of the box, and best of all, we were able to lower our communication costs by moving to a simple, more flexible platform that supports our existing Nortel digital phones. Features like find-me follow-me mobility, unified messaging, conferencing and park and page service help keep our business moving and responsive to our customer’s needs. The transition to UCx450 was very smooth and the service and support is outstanding.“ Tammy Hartin, IT Manager, Brian Cullen Motors. |

“Our mission at Altamont Community Unit School District is to educate the scholastic community, enhance their abilities and transform opportunities into action. When presented with the opportunity to replace our schools aging and unreliable Norstar telephone systems with a single next-generation solution that gave us all the unified communication features we were looking for while at the same time lowering our communications costs, the decision was clear. Installing the E-MetroTel UCx450 server was very simple and the system is very easy to use. The UCx Scheduled Announcement application is easy to program and can play bell tones to indicate class start on any one of our existing phones, in any of our schools. By centralizing our schools communication network with the UCX and retaining existing class room phones helped simply our infrastructure and reduce our overall costs by 50%.“ Tim Torbeck, IT Director, Altamont Community Unit School District. |

“We needed a communications system that would be simple to use and maintain, give us the UC tools to stay competitive and lower our overall communications costs, this without disrupting our manufacturing during system migration. We installed the UCX to replace a Nortel BCM because we had our corporate headquarters moving to this location and required a system that leveraged today’s technology and was cost effective. The installation went smooth and we were able to use VOIP across sites even though the other site still had a BCM. Having features like Find Me Follow Me, Voice-mail to E-Mail, Fax to E-mail and Extension-to-Mobile helps our management and customer service teams better serve our customers. The UCX is very easy to operate and keeping our existing phones lowered our costs significantly, in the order of 40%. The UCX platform has met all of our requirements and has been very stable. We are extremely pleased with the E-MetroTel solution.” Scott Sanders, Sr. IS Manager, American LicoriceTM Company. |

“Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel is Kingston Jamaica’s premier boutique hotel, and is distinguished by a hallmark for signature Caribbean luxury. Our commitment to maintaining the highest standard in hospitality prompted us to replace our Nortel phone system with a more modern, flexible and multi-faceted integrated communications solution. We selected the E-MetroTel UCx VoIP and UC solution complete with an integrated hospitality package for its scalability, simplicity and conveniently built-in guest component. The system was designed to interface with our property management program and offers an array of handy features including check-in/out status, room status, auto wake-up, call accounting and individual room billing. We opted to keep our existing hotel room phones while modernizing our front desk and administrative offices with new SIP phones. This ultimately helped us to lower our operational costs and further improve the overall guest experience. We are beyond satisfied with our renewed communication system and highly recommend the service provided by Advanced Teletronics.” Michelle Hussey, General Manager, Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel, Kingston, Jamaica. |
