AASTRA INTELLIGATE PBXs AWARDED
TWO ‘BEST BUYS’ FOR 2009
Leading business buyers’ publication What To Buy For Business magazine recognised Aastra’s IntelliGate for the third consecutive year with two top awards following its independent survey of the Business Telephone Systems market.
Systems from a wide range of vendors were rated in the report, and Aastra IntelliGate systems for the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market were recognised with the following accolades, including the IntelliGate 2025 & 300, which both won the coveted ‘Best Buy’ awards, in the IP PBX/VoIP category.
Key highlights from the survey, as published in January 2009 issue, included:
About Aastra IntelliGate 2025: "Great range of handsets, flexible system, users will warm to this system.”
About Aastra IntelliGate 300: “Good for minimising hardware costs and good for saving on call costs (via SIP trunking).”
Michael Calvert, General Manager for Aastra in the UK, said: “To be recognised for the third year running with two top awards from the highly regarded authority of What to buy for Business has again been another huge achievement from Aastra. The IntelliGate family of PBXs is constantly improving, adding more features like fixed mobile convergence, and tools for presence management; making it a versatile, powerful and competitive solution for SMBs.”
Aastra’s IntelliGate system range scales from 6 to 600 employees, offering the perfect solution to meet the needs of small and medium sized businesses including multi–site organisations. With increasing changes to working practices, companies can easily integrate home workers – whether for call centre agents, sales team or other members of staff – giving them the same powerful features and facilities as their office-based counterparts.
IntelliGate systems also make the integration of mobile phones into corporate networks as seamless and user-friendly as possible. A growing mobile workforce is driving demand for such integration, so that employees are easily contactable in order to provide top-class customer service and enhanced collaboration.
IntelliGate PBXs can be used on any mix of IP and traditional lines, offer a wide selection of deskphones and cordless handsets (DECT or WiFi). They can integrate with Microsoft® Outlook® so directories can be accessed for name dial and directory search from the handsets and offer applications for presence management.
