ASK Staffing selects Premise-Based IP Communications System from Zultys

March 16, 2009 by Michael Kirchhoff

Off Premise Phones and Low Total Cost of Ownership Key in Choosing Converged Phone System

ATLANTA, GA., March 4, 2009 – Zultys, Inc., a Silicon Valley company known for its open standards IP communications and telephony products, today recognized an innovative solution devised by Alliant DataTel, Inc. for a major Georgia staffing company.
ASK Staffing, Inc. ( http://www.askstaffing.com/ ) recently needed to replace its aging telephone system during an office relocation. Alliant DataTel, Atlanta, Georgia ( http://www.goalliant.net/ ), a Zultys value added reseller since August 2004, was selected by Michael Dukes, ASK Staffing’s VP of Operations, to displace an out-dated Avaya Partner phone system with a Zultys MX30 media exchange.

Michael Dukes explains; “Michael Kirchhoff, of Alliant installed our office Category 5e cabling, network switches and the MX30 in a couple of days, held training sessions before we went live on the system, and was here throughout the deployment. He was available to us when we needed assistance. In addition to an enhanced phone system with dynamic features, we have already started installing remote Aastra 53i IP phones. We have an IM (instant messaging) feature that is available to the users of the company. From an administrative standpoint, Michael has been very helpful in answering questions, allowing me to learn the various features. I now can now make changes to the phones, add, edit and delete users without waiting on a tech to arrive on site, which saves us money. We have increased the response time to our customers and improved the efficiency of our employees with this great new technology. As a matter of fact, with being able to assist our clients more efficiently we are already expanding and adding more employees.”

“Our new system simultaneously manages both the data network and our voice communications. I am most excited about the unified management dashboard. Just by looking at the presence icons, I know when anyone on my team is speaking with a client or engaged in a meeting. This is possible anywhere we have an Internet connection, so we are now much better equipped to provide reliable service to our customers.”

“We will realize our nominal initial investment in three to four months. This whole voice-over-IP project came off exactly like Alliant promised. The PSTN voice quality on a Cbeyond PRI is excellent and we could not be happier with our decision in selecting Zultys and Alliant.”
Zultys’ award winning IP PBX systems offer an all-in-one turnkey system with pre-loaded software that does not require additional or external servers. It supports PC, Mac, and Linux equipment. Companies interested in learning more how they might benefit with a Zultys MX may contact Alliant at 1-770-441-9999.

December 29, 2008 by Michael Kirchhoff

Alliant DataTel expands operations by offering more Voice over IP phone system choices

ATLANTA, GA., December 29, 2008 –– Alliant DataTel Inc., today announced an expanded office suite and the launching of several new marketing websites/blogs including http://www.phonesystemsatlanta.wordpress.com/ and http://www.cablingatlanta.wordpress.com/. Since 1996, Alliant DataTel an Atlanta, Georgia company has specialized in business phone systems, computer networks, cabling and PSTN circuits like PRI and T-1. Alliant’s new sales and support office at a prime location, 1200 Abernathy Road, Northpark Town Center is a mixed-use complex, located in Atlanta’s Central Perimeter business district. Here the company will conduct various business seminars, host “How to Choose an IP-PBX Luncheons,” plus perform demos on all offered business solutions to prospects and current clients utilizing the brand new live product showcase. The luncheon portion is complimentary and optional yet the hands-on mini-seminars require registration as the classes are small and expected to fill quickly. Visiting the http://www.goalliant.net/ website can provide upcoming dates and times to RSVP for the 2 hour seminar luncheons or call Alliant’s main number 770-441-9999 for more information.

Alliant DataTel has recently increased its product lines to include Aastralink Response Point and Sutus Business Central BC200 dealerships. The company’s core information technology services include designing, implementing and managing Voice over Internet Protocol phone systems known as VOIP or Voice over IP business phone solutions. Most systems offered have the ability to plug an IP phone into any broadband Internet connection, anywhere in the world, allowing seamless connectivity to the IP-PBX base system. From a single location to multiple sites around the world, both voice and data networks can be connected to a telecommunications infrastructure that can deliver many features including auto attendant, voicemail, Wi-Fi phones, headsets, door phones, access control, and call center applications to name a few. Alliant DataTel can integrate many systems into existing computer networks and can e-mail voicemail messages and incoming faxes directly to email clients, such as Outlook & Groupwise. In addition, voicemails and faxes can also be sent directly to cell phones. Cell phones such as Blackberry’s, devices utilizing Windows Mobile 5 & 6, & Symbian phones work seamlessly with most IP-PBX systems.

Alliant DataTel is a certified partner for Samsung, Zultys, Microsoft Response Point, Xblue Networks and Sutus. “Our primary objective is to inform businesses about features available in ‘Voice over IP’ phone solutions as well as TDM systems;” said Michael Kirchhoff, CEO of Alliant DataTel. “We educate business owners & decision makers in what to look for in purchasing the right system and setting up their complete infrastructure for their current and long term objectives.” When asked, Michael Kirchhoff says, “Many businesses are not aware of the amazing advancements that have occurred in telecommunications. It is not unusual for clients who need office cabling done during a move or renovation need a new updated phone system. There seems to be a lot of confusion with this upgrade between circuit providers, phone systems and their company’s data infrastructure,” said Kirchhoff; “when you add the new technology of VoIP on top; it becomes a major mountain in their eyes.” Kirchhoff continued, “The sticker shock for new technology first takes them by surprise. What we want to do is educate the end user to what their options are, utilizing their current requirements, budget, as well as their long range goals allowing them to run efficiently, while providing a cost effective solution. If their budget can’t handle everything at once, we break them down in mini-projects they can get their arms around. There is no sense in doing it half way; technology only works if you know how to use it.”

Sutus surges ahead with Green office technology

Sutus surges ahead with Green office technology

Award-winning office-in-a-box product helps small businesses reduce carbon footprint

September 10, 2008, Vancouver, B.C. – The Sutus Business Central™ is a multi-service business gateway (MSBG) that provides Small Businesses with a fully integrated data, networking and telephony solution. In addition to its business operational features, the power consumption, design and advanced remote support of Business Central dramatically reduces a small business’ carbon footprint compared to a piecemeal solution that provides equivalent business functionality.

In the course of a year, the Business Central requires 350 kw/hrs power*. This is 1261 kw/hr lower than the power usage of the combined products used by most small businesses to match the functionality of the Business Central. The power difference is equivalent to .98 metric tonnes of CO2 per year. That’s the equivalent of parking the car for 60 days a year or replacing a twenty year old fridge with an ‘energy saver’ model.

As well as having low power requirements, the Business Central enjoys a very streamlined design with dimensions of 9″ by 11″ by 4″. This is little bigger than a Microsoft Xbox and is considerably smaller than the combined dimensions of a competing piecemeal solution. In addition, advanced remote support and management features built into the Business Central mean that the device can be remotely monitored, upgraded and repaired without the need to send out a technician or for the small business staff member to spend long periods on the phone.

The Sutus Business Central has been developed specifically for businesses of up to 25 employees and comprises a wide array of advanced data and networking functions such as: file server, email server, router, firewall, wireless access point, VPN remote access server, automated backups, and a business-class phone system with the ability to simultaneously support both standard phone line and VoIP connections.

The Business Central is also a gateway for hosted services and is ideal for businesses that promote remote working or those with employees in numerous locations.

Shawn Chute, EVP of Sutus, commented, ‘People are rapidly becoming more conscious of their effect on the environment and this is starting to show in some of their business decisions. Small business owners in particular have the advantage of being able to change the way their company operates in many ways according to their preferences. The Sutus Business Central enables them to improve business functionality while helping the environment by utilizing our “all-in-one” energy efficient complete office solution.’

*Assumes constant power 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

About Sutus
Sutus (www.sutus.com) provides small businesses with an enterprise quality all-in-one solution that delivers office network and telephone infrastructure that is affordable, robust and extremely flexible. The Sutus Business Central™ is the winner of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine’s 2007 product of the year award and IT Expo’s ‘Best Newcomer’ award. It is designed specifically for offices with up to 25 users providing all core IT infrastructure as well as on-demand turnkey VoIP and other advanced phone and data services through Sutus business partners. The Business Central significantly improves a reseller’s ability to easily service small business customers with locations of 25 users or less.

Zultys: Industy Solutions

December 16, 2008 by Michael Kirchhoff


Zultys: Industy Solutions

Zultys delivers a highly flexible suite of features which may be readily customized to suit the needs of specific industries. From healthcare providers to law firms, service industries to financial providers, the Zultys MX30 and MX250 systems deliver the functionality you need today and the flexibility you will need tomorrow to support your changing business requirements.

Healthcare providers, such as clinics and other small healthcare providers, communication is a critical part of keeping patient and practices healthy. Traditional telephone systems cannot deliver the personalized service that ensures a higher level of care and increases patient trust and loyalty. Because the telephone itself is blind to patient data, such as medical history, primary care physician and insurance coverage, answering the phone has become an increasingly challenging activity. Answering the phone can require staff to handle the caller, and a PC to access patient data and an appointment calendar at the same time.

Law firms need to be able to route calls and gather call detail reporting to maximize customer service. In most law practices, the limitations of the phone system are a challenge to efficient and consistent client service. Calls should to be answered promptly and clients connected with lawyers quickly. Long hold times, busy signals and calls routed to the wrong person (or worse, dropped calls) cause client concern. Administrative time spent logging phone time and creating reports increases costs.

Service industry companies such as restaurants and restaurant chains, car dealerships with sales, service and financial departments require maximum flexibility in call handling so that calls are routed to the right group or person, minimal efforts to manage the phone system, integration into and with PCs, reservation/customer/CRM applications, fax and e-mail, and the ability to seamlessly answer calls wherever you are on multiple types of “phones.”

Real estate companies with agents and brokers who work both in the field and in different offices have more unique needs. Answering every sales call “live” means more new business, smoother transactions and more satisfied customers. To make the most of every sales opportunity agents need instant access to contact information and contact databases; the ability to conference customers and colleagues quickly; and ensure they can communicate with clients and prospects at any time, from any location. Answering and routing a high volume of inbound calls can frustrate even the most seasoned employees, while long hold times and misdirected calls annoy both current and prospective sellers, buyers, owners and tenants.

Financial services companies and banks with multiple offices, simply offering the best product is no guarantee of success. To acquire and retain customers, banks, credit unions and mortgage providers must also offer a consistently high level of prompt, friendly, personalized customer service. The phone is the initial, and often primary, tool. But the phone used alone does not display client data, account information, appointment calendar entries and client history.

Zultys MX250

December 16, 2008 by Michael Kirchhoff


MX250

The MX250 is an IP PBX platform that integrates multimedia communications for businesses, large and small, into a single server compact system. All connections are made through standard interfaces. The MX250 integrates the functions of many applications into one Unified Communications platform without the requirement of several disparate adjunct servers. By integrating these functions into a single unit, Zultys delivers a cost effective, easy to provision, easy to use system that is also easily managed and expanded.

The MX250 combines the functions of an Internet gateway (switch and router) with classic PBX functionality: PSTN line interfaces, analog circuits, auto attendant, call routing, voice mail, and Automatic Call Distribution. It further adds support for video calls and multi-media files, such as text-to-speech announcements, automatic conversion of voice mail messages into WAV files, and MXIE, Zultys’ award-winning unified communications client application. The system uses SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to communicate with IP devices on the LAN or across the WAN. This industry standard protocol permits the connection of desktop phones, conference phones, and other SIP endpoints from many manufacturers. Administrators use a single intuitive GUI on a PC to configure and monitor every aspect of the system.

With the MX250, workers are accessible on a central communication system from any location with an Internet connection. Direct connectivity among all users is easily achieved, regardless of their location within a building, campus, city, region, or country. Users of the system have full access to all system features when logging in at the office, from home, while traveling, or from a different site, while retaining their own personal user identity.

All users, regardless of their role within the organization, enjoy a high quality voice system with access to productivity tools designed to increase their ability to get more done in less time. The system offers powerful applications such as presence, instant messaging, unified messaging, call handling, screen pops, and detailed call logs. These tools can operate on a single system or among multiple MX systems of varying sizes for a centrally managed platform that painlessly scales to support large enterprises.

The MX250 connects to a standard Ethernet switch, along with the connection of computers and IP phones. The connection to the LAN is made through one or two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports on the MX250 main board, thereby providing redundancy. Additional redundancy is available with dual hard discs in a RAID 1 configuration, and AC and DC power inputs.

The MX250 provides three module slots that support the connection to the PSTN, legacy PBXs, and analog telephony devices.

SIP and Open Standards From The Beginning
The MX250 was designed and built from its inception to be an open standards IP PBX platform. Most similar products were either originally designed with IP in their core with telephony services added on top, or they are traditional PBXs designed with telephony at their core with VoIP added in later development. Systems of these types typically use proprietary phones and have closed architectures. Conversely, the architecture of the MX250 has been optimized to combine voice and data technologies while using standard interfaces and phones.

Expandable in capacity and function without purchasing additional hardware

Up to four MX systems may be connected together to create a single IP PBX for the support of up to 10,000 users in a single system. Once clustered, all systems are managed as a single system through the Administrator UI application. An additional MX system may be configured to provide full-scale redundancy for a

Zultys MXmeeting™ optional appliances are powerful productivity tools for the MX IP PBX platforms. There are 4 models in the MXmeeting family.

Pain Solutions Treatment Centers chooses Premise-Based IP Phone System from Zultys

October 29, 2008 by Michael Kirchhoff

Doctors Realize Significant Productivity Gains and Rapid ROI after Linking Offices with Zultys VoIP Solution

ATLANTA, GA., October 28, 2008 – Zultys, Inc., a Silicon Valley company known for its open standards IP communications and telephony products, today recognized an innovative solution devised by Alliant DataTel, Inc. for a four office medical practice in metro Atlanta, Georgia.

Pain Solutions Treatment Centers., Inc.( www.painsolutionscenters.com ) with a network of north Georgia offices needed to quickly replace its communications system while maintaining its investment in Polycom IP telephone sets. Alliant DataTel, Atlanta, GA ( www.goalliant.net ), a Zultys dealer since August 2004, was selected for the project.

Donna Rice, Pain Solutions Treatment Centers, Director of Admin Operations stated; “our hosted Digital Agent telephone system was becoming expensive and difficult to administer. We chose a Zultys MX250 and MX30 media exchange after a couple product demonstrations and validating provided Zultys references. Donna went on to explain; “Michael Kirchhoff, of Alliant installed the hardware, worked diligently and was an asset to get all running smoothly. He held multiple training sessions before we went live and was here throughout the deployment. In addition to an enhanced IP-PBX with dynamic features, we have presence icons. I know when anyone on my team is speaking with a patient, engaged in a meeting or at lunch.

From an administrative standpoint, Michael has been very helpful in answering questions, allowing me to learn the various features. We can now make routine changes to the phones, add, edit and delete users without waiting on a tech to arrive on-site. We have increased the response time to our patients with centralized appointment scheduling and improved the efficiency of our employees.”

By deploying an IP telephony solution from Zultys, Pain Solutions Treatment Centers solved its business communications issues between their four practices. As a result of the cost savings with the Zultys solution, Pain Solutions should pay for their investment in four to six months. The MXIE interface on the PC enables operators and co-workers to view the presence and availability of schedulers regardless of their location. Each individual staff member can set up rules governing how their calls are handled, allowing the Zultys system to locate them for important phone calls even if they are away from their desk.

“We are thoroughly pleased with our investment in the Zultys solution,” said Dan Hurd, Telecom Manager for Pain Solutions Treatment Centers. Zultys MXGroup breaks down the barriers of distance between our offices and allows us to operate as one efficient organization. The PSTN voice quality via Paetec SIP trunks is excellent and we could not be happier with our decision in selecting Zultys and Alliant.”

Zultys’ award winning IP PBX systems offer an all-in-one system with pre-loaded software that does not require additional or external servers. It supports PC, Mac, and Linux equipment. Companies interested in learning more how they might benefit with a Zultys MX may contact Alliant at 1-770-441-9999.

Why Record Your Calls?

October 13, 2008 by Michael Kirchhoff

Why Record Your Calls?

In today’s global economy with ever-increasing pressure to compete and improve performance while maintaining compliance with stringent laws and regulations, call recording just makes sense. While large enterprises could generally afford the technologies to meet these needs, smaller organizations were shut out of the market. Now, SIP Print offers every businesses a world-class yet affordable solution to meet and overcome these challenges:

Regulatory Compliance
Businesses of all types face growing regulatory requirements. Today, many businesses are simply required to record phone calls for an undisputable record of transactions. Others find that implementing a call recording solution offers the most effective and affordable way to demonstrate a pattern of compliance.

Enhance Customer Satisfaction
It’s easier to keep existing customers than to find new ones. That’s why so many companies use SIP Print to coach call center employees and other front line employees with recorded examples of high-quality customer interactions.

Using SIP Print to increase customer satisfaction drives operational efficiencies, reduces costs and reduces employee attrition. SIP Print empowers managers to:

•Evaluate and improve the effectiveness of customer service policies
•Ensure employees provide the promised level of customer service
•Create the positive customer interactions that are at the heart of a successful business
Limit Legal Liability
Recorded telephone activity provides a degree of legal protection to both the company and the consumer. SIP Print helps companies limit liability by documenting verbal requests and authorizations, verifying contractual compliance and arbitrating disputes.

In regulated industries, SIP Print play a key role in many companies’ ability to verify compliance with: the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other regulations that require comprehensive information security planning by affected companies.

Improve Employee Productivity
SIP Print’s call monitoring and recording software solution has proven effective in evaluating and improving employee productivity. Reviewing recorded calls with employees provides managers with a powerful training tool and a concrete, objective measure of employee performance. SIP Print allows managers to coach customer service agents with real-life examples of high-quality customer interactions to ensure that employees are operating at peak productivity.

Increase Security
The majority of security threats are created by employees intentionally or unintentionally distributing confidential information. Workplace monitoring and recording encourages employees to be more aware of what they are saying and doing, and helps prevent unauthorized verbal or electronic dissemination of confidential information.
SIP Print helps prevent abuse by encouraging employees to rise to a new level of vigilance. In the event of a security violation, SIP Print provides an undisputable record of activity to help identify the source of the problem and prevent recurrence.
