Europe is amid a migration from analog and ISDN networks to the Internet Protocol (IP) standard. In some countries, the switchover has already been almost completed, leading to the switch-off of ISDN. Whether it is telephony, television, video, or mobile communications, very soon all communication channels will speak only the Internet Protocol, hence the term All IP.
For this reason and to anticipate the future needs of our customers and offer innovative solutions, Mediterranean Consulting has reached an agreement with Innovaphone AG, a German manufacturer of IP solutions and unified communications. We have been certified as an Innovaphone environment that will serve as a demo center for our customers, allowing them to experience the concept of Unified Communications in a real and practical way.
Companies need an optimal IP telephony and a Unified Communications solution that is easy to implement, manage, administer, and cost-effective. Typically, companies have a limited number of IT resources and a smaller budget compared to their larger competitors. However, to stand up to the competition, they require a flexible IP telephony system and intelligent Unified Communications capabilities.
Innovaphone AG, with its IP PBX, offers a mature telephony system adaptable to companies of any size and almost unlimited, which can be supplemented with numerous IP telephony functionalities, Unified Communications elements, and applications. Unified Communications and IP telephony are already a reality in the corporate world, where employees and business partners are connected to exchange information in the most immediate way possible. Through various communication strategies, availability is improved, business efficiency is increased, and corporate processes are accelerated. This is only possible with a unified and comprehensive communication structure, and Unified Communications by Innovaphone is precisely designed to provide that. The different Unified Communications modules that make up the Innovaphone VoIP PBX create a complete and mature communications solution.
Application integration capabilities
An essential part of the Innovaphone product philosophy is the support of standard protocols and interfaces. The open interfaces of the Innovaphone PBX allow it to be seamlessly integrated into any type of solution, whether it is an extension of an existing system or a completely new one. The high performance of the Innovaphone PBX application platform enables the development and use of specific Linux applications in conjunction with the Innovaphone PBX system’s own applications. This makes it possible to configure third-party applications and existing programs directly on the gateway via the Linux application platform. The myPBX Web Client plays a central role, unifying several UC elements in its simple interface: classic telephony, audio conferencing, corporate directory, connection protocols, presence status, instant messaging, collaboration sessions, desktop video telephony, or conferencing. Everything is possible, whether from the office, teleworking station, or on the go. Unified Communications are much more than that: as an alternative to analog fax, the Innovaphone PBX allows faxes to be sent directly from the computer to Outlook, all without the need for additional software or interfaces.
Mobility functionality also plays an important role. Mobile telephony can be seamlessly integrated into the PBX, thanks to the Mobility application, making it a true extension. You can make use of all the functionalities of the PBX that can be operated via the myPBX Unified Communications Client (myPBX Mobile), which, as a web client, is compatible with all smartphones. The Innovaphone Voicemail ensures that all employees are always available and reachable, so that not a single call is missed. It is a professional, integrated, server-independent, and network-independent Voicemail solution for all Innovaphone PBX users.
