KSU-Business telecommunications equipment consists of a switch called a Key Service Unit (KSU) that is the main "brains" of the system. Depending on the provided features and your specific needs, cards can be added to the KSU to offer features such as; Automatic Call Distribution, Caller Identification, Computer Telephony and much more.
Telephone sets for business use are generally proprietary, meaning that you can't mix and match with other manufacturers products. When buying a new system, the functionality of the sets is the most important factor to consider.
Once considered a major pain in the neck, voice mail has become a standard for offices that pay close attention to customer service. With the new features of today's systems, Voice Mail has become neccessary to compete in the business world of the 21st century.
Depending on the size of the telephone system, some features are included whereas others require cards to be added into the KSU. Additional features include;
Choosing the right vendor can mean the life or death of your communications system.
If you require a small but reliable system, be sure that the vendor can provide the necessary expansion support and products or you may find yourself with an obsolete system when your company grows. Technicians should always be manufacturer trained, certified and well versed in the latest cabling and installation technologies, you would be surpised to find out how many aren't really manufacturer trained even though the company offers 'manufacturer support.'
Ensure that you are going to recieve the neccessary product support by using an authorized dealer.
There are many "grey market" resellers who do not have the authority or resources to offer ongoing system support.
At NATG we are proud to have one of the strongest teams of manufacturer trained and certified technicians. We hold NEC's Canadian Dealer of the Year Award for providing outstanding service and support to our clients and have recently installed and configured one of NEC Canada's largest VoIP networks.
Both NEC and Nortel offer ACD (Automatic Call Distribution) software systems that will allow calls to be held in priority queue. These can be installed as an option for additional costs. Please call you sales rep or our service department for further information. 604-856-9155.
