Availability is the be-all and end-all of telecommunications. Voice Mail Systems are
a cost-effective means of achieving that availability. Callers who have to make
several call attempts because a particular subscriber is unavailable are now a thing
of the past. Voice Mail Systems make for far more efficient telephone communi-
cations between staff members, customers and suppliers, which in turn means far
better operating results.
Even today, the most common communications aid, the answering machine, is
still an essential piece of equipment in the small office and household office sec-
tors (SOHO). In small and medium-sized companies, however, it quickly reaches
the limits of its performance capabilities. A second or third answering machine is
certainly not an ideal solution. By this stage at the latest, it is high time to consider
expanding the PBX with a Voice Mail System that provides every employee with
personal answering machine functions. That way you remain competitive and
never lose any customers.
The Ascotel Voice Mail System AVS has been specially developed with small and
medium-sized companies in mind. It is the further development of the telephone
answering machine, providing a centralized answering system for the company as
a whole. In addition to traditional answering functions Voice Mail Systems offer
callers and operators a wide range of new possibilities such as voice and time-con-
trolled recorded messages, retrievable additional information and call routing
based on the evaluation of caller number (CLIP), etc. Tab. 1.16 shows all the fea-
tures of the AVS at a glance. Further information can be found in the documen-
tation on the Voice Mail System.
Thanks to the networking capability of Ascotel systems mailboxes can also be
made available to subscribers of other PBX systems.
