OTTAWA, Canada - (Business Wire)
Objectworld Communications Corp. today announced that its
Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition will enable businesses to receive a return on investment in as little as 15 days, with enhanced productivity and reduced operational costs. Small- and medium-sized businesses can choose to keep existing phones, PBXs, message stores, voice paging speakers or they can deploy UC Server Standard Edition with a new IP-PBX system.
Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition for a 100-seat business costs roughly $75/user, plus installation and training (for a total system cost between $10,000 and $15,000 depending on the professional services required). The pricing estimate includes Objectworld software and third-party hardware to work with a PBX system. Based on a recent survey from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly wage for non-supervisory employees is $18.20. With the added productivity boost of unified messaging, employees will save on average 40 minutes a day, or about $10 every day for each employee. In just 15 days, 100 employees earning $20/hr will have saved their business the cost of the system.
“With Objectworld, voice mail and call-flow management are completely integrated into e-mail and fax – it is not just a ‘bolt-on’,” said Jerry McConnell, manager of technology with Wall Street Systems, a financial services firm based in Manhattan. “Managers love having the flexibility of being able to get all of their messages without having to come into the office. Additionally, voice mail truly becomes voice ‘mail’ – not just telephone tag. We saw productivity improvements almost immediately.”
Objectworld UC Server bundles unified messaging, Windows-based administration tools, integrated fax, point-and-click call control, a service creation environment, excellent support for mobile employees and teleworkers, and more, all as a single software application for Microsoft Windows. Objectworld UC Server Standard Edition also requires no significant changes to existing infrastructure.
“Delivering value to our customers is the driver for everything we do,” said Ray Nelson, chief technology officer for Consultedge, a leading Avaya Platinum Business Partner. “The Objectworld UC Server can integrate email and voicemail with Avaya’s PBX, expanding the technology options we can use to design and implement the best communications solution for each of our clients.”
In addition to unified messaging, the solution provides a number of additional ROI-driving features and capabilities.
- Integrated fax capabilities: Objectworld reduces the capital costs involved with fax machines, paper and toner, but also cuts approximately $40 for every fax line out of a business’ operational expenses every month. For school divisions, legal practices or real estate and insurance brokerages, this can save some businesses hundreds to thousands every month.
- Simple, wizard-based deployment: Objectworld’s wizard-based installation, bulk user import into Active Directory, simple legacy PBX integration, open, standards-based hardware and Windows-based software make it very quick to deploy.
- Windows-based administration: Businesses save approximately 1 hour/desktop/year, for a savings of approximately 100 hours/year on moves, adds and changes over traditional PBX-based administration.
- Service creation environment: businesses create phone-based applications that automate repetitive requests for information, freeing employees to do other, higher value work. Business can also build phone-based applications that drive revenue generation.
“With the economy slowing in the United States, a lot of our customers very rightly want to know how unified communications will deliver to them a return on their investment,” said David Levy, president and chief executive officer at Objectworld. “With Objectworld UC Server, most customers can see a return on their investment in a couple of weeks, even more if they have multiple fax lines, require Blackberry support, or need to support a number of branch offices or teleworkers.”
