Unified communications is changing the collaboration environment

Monday, January 2, 2012 by Jay Cutler

Improving collaboration and communication is the goal behind many of today's new technologies, including unified communications. While a massive number of collaboration tools exist, unified communications solutions can help organizations manage the increasing prevalence of fragmented workplaces, including branch and home offices, according to a Tech Leader report.

One industry in particular is experiencing significant benefits from UC solutions: contact centers. With unified communications, contact centers can communicate faster and collaborate more effectively with both other employees and customers. However, this are not the only area benefitting from the technology, the news source reported, as companies across industries are experiencing advantages by moving to unified communications solutions.

Corporations should also address traditional policies that require collaboration solutions to be thrown together on a whim for each individual project. In these instances, once a collaboration solution is chosen, it may be hard for the organization to turn back and change it if necessary. Additionally, since there are so many collaboration tools out there, employees may be using ones that can put them in a legal bind. With unified communications, executives can be sure that employees use legal programs and that each potential problem has a solution, Tech Leader noted.

Unified communications also helps improve collaboration regardless of an employee's location, as it can integrate voice, messaging, email and other communication tools together. This allows employees to work productively no matter where they are in relation to one another.

VoIP contributed more than $17 billion to VAS market in 2010, analysts say

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 by Jay Cutler

In the broadband analyst firm's most recent report, Point Topic revealed that VoIP services were the most financially valuable solutions to contribute to the growing value-added services market in 2010. The overall VAS market experienced a 14 percent increase from 2009 to 2010, growing from $129 billion to $157 billion.

The revenues from VoIP systems, not including over-the-top services, contributed the most to the VAS market, with more than $17 billion, according to Point Topic. In total more than 120 million users had subscribed to VoIP systems by the end of 2010.

"The trend we've observed since 2003 reflects the fact that more people are doing more things via their broadband connection," said John Bosnell, a senior analyst at the research firm. "We estimate that at the end of 2010 each broadband line supported an average of 1.95 value-added services. That’s almost four times the average in 2003."

According to a report by Infonetics Research, the VoIP market is expected to continue to grow, eventually exceeding $76 billion in revenue in 2015. This may indicate that more individuals and business will be using their broadband to access the voice services, especially as the Federal Communications Commission expands high-speed internet access to more Americans.

VoIP Explained Without the Tech Lingo

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 by Brittany Briggs
VoIP
If you haven't figured it out already, the IT world is full of acronyms. Here at LightBound we work with several acronyms on a daily basis like WAN, VPN, and PBX. You may not be the IT person at your company, but there is a good chance you come across terms like these. One of the latest technologies that can help your business is VoIP


Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a relatively newer tool that has been developed (like so many other recent services) from the digital era. This technology allows you to make telephone calls over a data network. The VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the data network, and then converts itself back at the other end so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number.  

What does this mean?

Simply put- your computer, along with your data network, acts as your voice service provider.

Why choose a VoIP?
  • Lower cost- No more dealing with multiple providers for separate voice and Internet access services. If you have a T1 circuit or higher bandwidth Internet connection, you don't need to maintain separate lines and to pay more to do so.
  • Increased functionality- Because VoIP is digital, it can offer features and services that are not available with a traditional phone.
  • No limitations- You can call anyone who has a telephone number, including local, long distance, mobile, 411 operating assistance, and international numbers.
  • Total solution- More functionality at a lower price allows organizations to focus personnel and budget on core business activity. 
LightBound offers VoIP services that allow for all of these benefits, along with the convenience of integrating with (most) current phone systems without the hassle of changing phone numbers, direct inward dial (DID) numbers, or toll-free numbers.

LightBound Hosted VoIP PBX Tips and Tricks

Monday, October 3, 2011 by Jay Cutler
LightBound Hosted VoIP PBX - Tips and Tricks

How do I transfer a call to someone's voicemail?
1.  While on an active call, click and hold the call details within the Personal window
2. Drag the call to the voicemail icon attached to every contact within the Contacts window
3. Release the mouse button and the call transfers immediately into the target user's voicemail

How do I perform a blind transfer?
Most IP Phones that LightBound sells support the ability to perform a blind transfer.  Regardless of your model of phone, blind transfers are performed by the following actions:

   1. Press the Xfer key or the Trnsfr key located either on the LCD as a 'soft' key or as a hardkey physically on the phone
   2. Dial the target Extension
   3. Press the Xfer key or the Trnsfr key once again before the other party answers the phone

Polycom SoundPoint 320/330 Instructions

These two phones work a bit differently:

   1. While on a call, the "Trans" softkey will be on the screen. Press the button under it, then a new menu will appear on the screen. It will have the options "Normal", "Cancel" and "Blind".
   2. Choose "Blind" and enter the extension/phone number. The call will then be sent and the Caller-ID will be the one of the party calling in. You do not need to choose the "Trans" key a second time.

Programmable Keys - Polycom


Polycom phones support speed dial configuration via the phone's interface.
Configure Speed Dial Keys

   1. Press Menu
   2. Press 1 Features
   3. Press 1 Contact Directory
   4. Press Add
   5. Fill out the settings
         1. Scenario #1 - Speed Dial an Employee
         2. Fill out the Employees First and Last name in the appropriate fields
         3. Type in the Employee's extension in the Contact field
         4. Leave the Speed Dial Index at the default value (increments automatically)
         5. Press Save
         6. The configured speed dial will appear as Line 2 (for the first contact) and increment with each new configured speed dial (Line 3, Line 4, etc)
         7. Scenario #2 - Speed Dial Park/Voicemail/Other System Extension
         8. For First and Last name - enter whatever text will help you easily identify the speed dial function (e.g. if you want to speed dial Park, type in Park and leave the other name field blank)
         9. Type in the system extension (Park = 9000, Voicemail = 8555, Group Intercom = *74+Group Extension, etc.).  Remember you can only type in ONE extension per speed dial key
        10.

            Press Save
        11.

            The configured speed dial will appear as Line 2 (for the first key) and increment with each new configured speed dial
   6. When you are finished configuring all your speed dial keys, press the Menu button to return to the default screen

Executing a Speed Dial

   1. Press the button - the phone will dial the extension you configured.

Executing a Speed Dial to a System Extension

Customers commonly wish to speed dial Park.  Once you setup Park as a speed dial on your phone, you can quickly transfer callers to Park via the following sequence:

   1. Press the softkey Txfr (may be labeled Trnsfer on some versions of Polycom firmware)
   2. Press the Park speed dial key you previously configured
   3. Listen for the Parking extension
   4. Hangup
   5. Inform the destination party of the parked extension
   6. That person should dial that extension (e.g. 9001) from their own phone to reconnect with the caller
