Big-Time Communications for Small-to-Medium Businesses.

With today's economy and demanding public needs, businesses are under pressure to perform everyday at their highest levels to win and retain their customers. To meet these pressures, employees need better tools for increased productivity.

NEC products and services are designed to target the small-to-medium business (SMB) needs and still maintain a business' basic need to lower costs. Every company has unique services and products; to meet the unique challenges that grow from this diversity, communications systems must be flexible enough to meet the needs these services and products require. NEC solutions that provide customized call routing, automated department access, live and voice mail backup, call coverage and after hours notification are powerful weapons in attracting and retaining valuable customers and key partners.

Many small- and medium-sized businesses are comprised of units housed in different locations. Providing both seamless communications and access to advanced productivity tools throughout the organization without wasteful duplication of investments is key to survival and growth. NEC's PBX-based SMB Solutions provide networking capabilities to allow for a single centralized voice mail system for call coverage throughout the organization as well as private networking to enhance effective team operations and connectivity between systems over a converged backbone. These capabilities are provided without large dedicated investments or high re-occurring expenses.

The versatility of the NEC products provides the flexibility to meet all the needs of small and medium businesses and protects the company's investment with modular expansion and technology updates as the business grows.

Future-Proof Your Enterprise.

With today's economy and demanding public needs, businesses are under constant pressure to perform at their highest production and service levels in order to retain loyal customers. This pressure is increased as companies try to meet employee needs for better working conditions, shorter hours, more money and continued training and education.

Communicating from one location to another within your enterprise is done via networking the systems using standard Public Switching Telephone Network (PSTN) facilities or via a customer provided Wide Area Network (WAN). This is one of the core capabilities of NEC's enterprise communications systems, which gives users large-scale functionality and flexibility within the enterprise.

NEC's Fusion Call Control Signaling (FCCS), which provides a "Fusion Link," between each node in the network, allows every system to communicate directly with all other systems within the network. The IP protocol utilized in the Fusion network allows the customer to experience the enhanced feature transparency provided by this networking protocol.

This transparency is possible because as network information is added or deleted all FCCS nodes correlate these changes into their own databases. In this manner, all nodes are aware of network changes that are made and because this network information resides locally within every node of the network, call processing/handling and feature interaction/integration is enhanced.

The versatility of NEC products meets the needs of enterprise businesses as they grow, protecting their investment as they migrate to new technologies.
