Legacy Voicemail Users – Know Your Options

Many IT professionals today are advocating the replacement of older voicemail systems that don’t support the mobile work force or are based on obsolete proprietary platforms or technology. Others, unfortunately, continue to bear the burden of the increased maintenance and support costs of legacy voicemail systems that simply do not integrate with new technologies within the organization, nor meet the needs of the modern enterprise.

If you are charged with researching a replacement solution for your first‐generation voicemail system, make sure you KNOW YOUR OPTIONS!

Look for a replacement to your current voicemail system that offers a flexible solution for integrating, automating and improving your business processes. CallXpress was built to achieve maximum return on investment by:

City of Phoenix Case Study

The City of Phoenix, Arizona’s capital city, is the fifth largest city in the nation with over 1.5 million residents. With more than 40 departments and functions throughout the city including the Police Department, City Hall, the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and the Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Phoenix has over 14,000 employees who depend upon a reliable, easy to use voice mail system.

“We realized early on that in order to meet the needs of our 14,000 users today, we needed to be able to deploy a robust, highly scalable and cost-effective solution in a short period of time and with minimal disruption to our current users who are scattered across more than 40 city departments and functions," said Linda Henderson, IT Supervisor for the City of Phoenix.
