As your business evolves, so do your communications requirements. When making an investment in an IP phone system, your business demands a cost-effective solution that:
- Provides outstanding value in the core business applications you need today, such as desktop call management, unified messaging, call recording, fax and auto attendant.
- Lets you selectively run advanced applications to address future business opportunities and improve customer service, such as self-service interactive voice response (IVR) applications and contact center — without costly additional servers.
- Supports thousands of sites but is easy to manage, reducing administrative time and costs.
What’s more, today’s IP phone system must also deliver investment protection by:
- Leveraging your investment in the phones your employees use today — such as IP, digital or analog phones and devices — as well as soft phones, voice badges and other voice-enabled devices you may use in the future.
- Creating a seamless call experience for both staff and callers, whether employees work in the office, at home, or on the road.
- Facilitating the growth of your business cost-effectively, by letting you add users and applications in a modular and straightforward way, without requiring expensive forklift upgrades or additional servers.
- Reducing network and voice costs by leveraging integrated voice and data connectivity services like SIP trunking.
Whether you have a handful of employees or hundreds, and whether they’re located in one office or distributed across the country, the future of your business depends on the smart choices you make today. Vertical Wave — It’s the Right Call.™
A Rich Heritage of Design
Vertical Wave is the result of more than two years and millions of dollars of research and development investment by Vertical Communications, a leader in next-generation IP telephony solutions. Based on proven technologies that have met the needs of demanding customers, and featuring a range of brand-new capabilities, Wave is the reflection of Vertical’s rich heritage of technical innovation and its ongoing commitment to enhancing customer communications.
Unlike solutions that offer support for adding IP applications at a later date, but which require additional servers and other components — not to mention long deployment schedules and business disruption — Wave is unique in its Applications Inside™ architecture. Wave’s portfolio of embedded applications is included “in the box” with every Wave IP 2500 system. You choose what you need, when you need it.
