The two giants, Alcatel and Nokia, have announced a collaboration which extends Alcatel’s business telephony offering to the mobile workforce by way of the Nokia Eseries, a range of business class devices. The Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel, is a Nokia offering designed to integrate Nokia Eseries devices into the Alcatel IP Communication server.
Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel capitalizes on the capabilities of the Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise as well as the power of Nokia Eseries. With the solution, popular desk phone functionalities are available to the mobile user. For example, employees manage just one business number, and control where and when and on which device they receive their calls. Additionally, the benefits of the office phone, such as call conferencing, call back, and dial by name are delivered with the ease of use of Nokia Eseries, within the enterprise environment.
While employees enjoy the freedom to work from any location, enterprises can enjoy the increased accessibility of employees and profit from substantial cost savings. The IP telephony infrastructure enables companies to take advantage of Alcatel’s Least Cost Routing capabilities, significantly reducing international mobile calling charges and providing greater control of overall communication costs.
The solution brings added transparency to the company’s telephony cost structure by making the billing records easily available, and can help companies identify costly elements in their telephony system. The information provided by the solution can assist a company to plan and build the most efficient telephony system for its business.
The new Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel offering is part of the Intellisync Mobile Suite from Nokia. The Nokia business portfolio also features the high-performance Nokia Eseries devices which combine attractive and easy-to-use designs that appeal to individual business users with underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings, corporate applications and data, and software that enable mobile applications such as email, enterprise voice and device management.
Alcatel’s OmniPCX Enterprise is an integrated, interactive communications solution that delivers Alcatel’s Cellular Extension software to enable Intellisync Call Connect. Currently, Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel utilizes the cellular network to connect to a company’s PBX infrastructure, and will be enhanced to support both cellular and WiFi networks with dual mode phones in the near future.
The solution will be available during the fourth quarter of 2006 through Alcatel and Nokia resellers.
