NextiraOne wins contract for to provide UC solution to SMC Pneumatics
Feb 08, 2010 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) --
NextiraOne, a supplier and installer of Unified Communications
solutions, today announced that it has won a contract to supply and
deploy its UC solution with a UK subsidiary of SMC Corporation, SMC
Pneumatics UK Ltd.
The company said that SMC Pneumatics chose NextiraOne to upgrade its
Telephony Systems and provide a scalable solution that will allow the
future deployment of Unified Communications applications and
collaborative working. The deal follows NextiraOne's successful
implementation of a similar solution for SMC's German subsidiary.
Under the agreement NextiraOne has implemented an Alcatel-Lucent
Omni-PCX Enterprise system creating an IP telephony platform at the
company's site in Milton Keynes in the UK. In the longer term the aim
is to network the UK and German sites via Voice over IP (VoIP) links,
helping to reduce telephony costs between the two countries. The
solution is also likely to roll out to other SMC locations world-wide,
bringing additional cost savings.
The solution has the facility to be developed into a fully featured
Unified Communications infrastructure in the future, that would create
an enhanced working environment including collaboration tools such as
MyTeamwork and video conferencing, both of which are planned by SMC in
a later phase.
NextiraOne has also implemented a contact centre application, based on
an Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch Contact Centre, which allows SMC to handle
and route calls more effectively and add customised call prompts for
queuing calls.
No financial details of the contract were disclosed.
