Overview

A complete enterprise communications solution in a

convenient, reliable, and affordable package.
OpenScape Business enables small and medium-sized organisations
to enjoy the many functionality, cost-saving, and productivity
benefits that IP telephony and unified communications can offer.

The convenience of an ‘all-in-one’ approach

Significantly, OpenScape Business comes with everything you’d expect
from an enterprise-grade communications solution built-in and ready-
to-go including telephony, messaging, conferencing, collaboration
tools, and a contact centre. This ‘all-in-one’ approach eliminates the
cost and complexity of building your own solution, whilst guaranteeing
that all your applications will work together seamlessly.

The easiest path to unified communications (UC)

OpenScape Business is designed to allow customers to upgrade to the
latest UC technology irrespective of their underlying telephony
infrastructure.

For example, for customers new to IP communications the OpenScape

Business X-range allows them to deploy the latest UC applications
immediately while still using their existing Unify analogue, digital, and OpenScape Business offers the
DECT equipment. For those who have already invested in a voice-ready latest unified communications

A superior user experience

OpenScape Business delivers a class-leading user experience that will

bring new levels of convenience and flexibility to your employees,
increase their accessibility, and enable them to conduct their work
activities more effectively.

In particular, users will be able to view all their communications

applications and activities from a single easy-to-use interface, meaning
they will spend less time juggling between different devices and message
boxes. They will enjoy the ease with which they can receive and transfer ‘At-a-glance’ interfaces simplify
calls, manage voicemails, set-up conference calls, and view call journals communications and keeps users
and directories. While heavy telephony users will appreciate OpenScape well-informed and well-organised.
Business’s many productivity tools and labour saving functions.

HD audio handsets
Unify’s handsets cater for different user profiles, meaning
individuals will find a model configured to suit their particular
needs. All handsets share the same intuitive design that ensures
ease of use, and makes common tasks such as setting-up
conference calls or completing transfers simple and efficient. All
IP models have enhanced HD audio, and OpenScape are the only
handsets to be accredited with the Blue Angel environmental
award for their low power consumption, unique out-of-hours
‘power-down’ feature, and overall low running costs.

Supporting ‘anywhere workers’

With OpenScape Business there will be no boundaries to

where your users can work. Whether they are in the office,
at home, or on the move, your ‘anywhere workers’ can
stay connected and still enjoy all the same familiar
features they get on their office phones.

For example, mobile workers will be able to enjoy UC

features from their smart phones and tablets, with the
ability to join conferences, utilise presence, and access
directories, favourites, voicemail, and call journals,
regardless of their location. Home and remote workers
can stay connected without the need for a VPN, and get
all the same functionality and accessibility as if they were
in the office. And OpenScape’s desk-sharing solution
enables occasional office users to share a desk phone -
users simply enter a PIN-code to download their personal
phone settings.

Better customer service

OpenScape Business includes a multimedia contact centre

solution capable of providing your customers with a full range
of engagement options including voice, email, text, chat, fax,
and social media. The solution is fully-scalable to enable
customers to design a deployment that will exactly fit their
needs - from a small informal customer service team, up to a
64-seat fully-featured multimedia contact centre operation.

The solution includes ‘skills-based routing’ to ensure contacts

from any source can be routed straight to the person most able
to help them. Agents and supervisors benefit from a full suite
The ‘myAgent’ interface provides a

pop), agent availability, presence status, internal directories,
call history, and performance statistics. And the solution also
comes with professional administration features including
customised reporting, and a simple ‘drag-and-drop’ tool for
creating routing plans.

Improved efficiency

Easy to manage
OpenScape Business provides a web-based management interface,
meaning system administrators can monitor performance and
undertake common tasks, such as add or remove a user, view system
status, and view licenses and software, from any location. As a further
aid, all OpenScape handsets can be pre-configured to ensure ‘plug-
and-play’ functionality.

Reduced costs
Thanks to its advanced IP, SIP, and collaboration capabilities, Web-based management with
OpenScape Business will allow you to reduce costs by: ‘all-in-one-view’ landing page

• Consolidating your carrier connections and introducing low-cost

IP telephony via SIP trunking.
• Routing mobile calls across the office WLAN rather than on
expensive cellular networks.
• Eliminating the need for expensive conference bureau services.
• Utilising free instant messaging services.
• Providing advanced mobility, conferencing, and collaboration
features to reduce travel requirements and the need for
permanent desk space.

In addition, OpenScape Business uses license-based pricing whereby

customers simply ‘unlock’ the user capacity and applications they
want through the purchase of licenses, without the need for any
additional hardware. This means customers can match their system
size and functionality to their exact requirements and, in doing so,
avoid wasting money on overcapacity or features they don’t want.

Systems and applications ‘at-a-glance’

OpenScape Business – providing a wide range of deployment options

The OpenScape Business portfolio caters for a wide range of enterprise sizes and
requirements. Customers can choose from software-only or appliance-based, and
hybrid or pure-IP, depending on their individual needs. Sharing a common
architecture, OpenScape Business platforms can be networked together (restrictions
apply), and there is also backwards-compatibility with Unify HiPath systems to allow
these legacy PBXs to be upgraded to IP and UC functionality.

Unified communications

Making communications quicker, simpler, and more collaborative.

Unified communications (UC) brings together all the different ways you communicate - voice, email, text,
video, instant message - into one seamless user experience that can be accessed in any location on any
device. UC brings three main benefits:

Simplify. UC simplifies the user experience by making all your communications

applications and activities accessible from a single interface, meaning you will UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
spend less time juggling between different devices and message boxes.

Amplify. UC provides a range of collaboration tools - such as presence,

conferencing, and web collaboration - to amplify team performance by
making your staff more connected, more accessible, and more productive.

Organise. UC provides a range of personal efficiency tools to help keep you

organised such as a personal contact list, call journal, auto-attendant feature,
and instant access to corporate directories.

Two UC packages to choose from

OpenScape’s Attendant clients provide ‘at-a-glance’ call management

to ensure incoming call traffic is handled efficiently and professionally.

Business Attendant
Business Attendant provides an interface for receptionists and switchboard operators for the
transfer and management of phone calls. Its user-friendly design provides instant visibility of

users on the system to help optimise the management of your calls.

myAttendant (UC Suite only)

myAttendant provides a powerful management tool for receptionists, office administrators, or
team leaders. Its intuitive interface, which requires very little training, displays the presence
status of everyone in your organisation whilst making the transfer and management of calls quick

or team leaders can gain access (following approval) to a co-worker’s voice, fax, and instant
messages.

Company Auto-attendant (UC Suite version)

Company Auto-attendant provides automatic call handling by providing the caller with a
list of options (e.g. ‘Press 1 for Sales or 2 for Service’). To ensure calls can be handled in
the most efficient way, the interface allows the design of workflows which can be Watch the video
automatically ‘switched’ depending on the day and time (for example, out-of-hours calls
might be re-routed to the night position). Additionally, customised announcements can
be played that relate to the incoming phone number, for example in the language of the
caller. All announcements can be imported as self-recorded or professionally produced
WAV files, as required. A limited functionality version of Company Auto-attendant is also
