BT IP Systems

BT Wholesale IP Voice Services (IPVS) – which is delivered over BT’s 21st Century Network and is embedded as a core part of their IP-Exchange – is a powerful, reliable alternative to ISDN Channels and traditional telephone systems (PBXs).

SynergyPlus were one of only ten UK providers to trial BT Wholesale’s Carrier Grade Next Generation Voice Services, which is delivered as Communications-as-a-Service (CaaS).

Our creative and bespoke solutions allow your business to utilise modern features such as Disaster Recovery, CTI, Click to Dial, Unified Messaging (voicemail to email), Call Recording, Mobile Twinning, Simultaneous Ringing and Hot Desking, all deployed across your entire business with minimal fuss. Systems can be set up on a per user basis, removing the old PBX model of spending large amounts of capital on a ‘box on the wall’ that not everyone will need to use.

What to look for in your Business IP Telephone Systems

SynergyPlus recently used the following “Critical Capabilities” criteria to gauge the solutions deployed for clients.

Important points to consider when assessing Next Generation Voice Services:

  1. Hosted IP is now considered mature technology and is now beyond the early adopter stage, resulting in more viable vendors.
  2. Differentiators should include service, support, cost of ownership, investment protection, and happy existing customers.
  3. Hands-on use of the product is worthwhile.
  4. 3 to 5 year projections.
  5. Finally, it's important to talk to users from organizations that have deployments similar to yours to best gauge actual customer experiences.
