NEC

Our working environment is rapidly changing, with organization of all types controlling looking for new ways of generating revenue, controlling costs and optimizing productivity. What is more, the rate of change is accelerating, thanks to the development of new technologies. These advanced technologies provide innovative ways of handling new and increasing commercial and economic demands.

Communication and information technology strategies must now be converged across all media types – not just data, but also voice and video.

Communication technologies (voice, email, instant messaging, SMS IP telephony, Voice mail, video-conferencing) and their underlying networks such as the internet, broadband, Wi-Fi and 3G, are the keys that drive many of these new strategies. These are supported by a vast of desktop, moblie and handheld devices.

Although technology is an enabler for organizational improvement, the real challenge facing businesses is to embrace and harness the potential benefits of the technology available.
The technology must give practical, easy to use support, and not add extra complexity. It must be available to and used by everyone, not just isolated islands within the business. And it must empower individuals and teams, enabling them to achieve their business objectives.

At NEC, we understand these challenges and offer advanced solutions to help businesses meet and suprass their operational and business objectives. We call this holistic approach UNIVERGE360, and it is designed to efficiently, and cost effectively prepare organizations for the opportunities available today, and for those of tomorrow.

By uniting all business communication devices, (including mobile handsets, PDAs, soft phones and other IP devices) UNIVERGE360 accelerates decision-making and dramatically improves customer responsiveness. In bringing together business data through a service-oriented architecture, information is instantly accessed and transformed into real knowledge. The results? You are truly in the driver's seat.

Mobility

Mobility enables flexible working practices and allows users to work smarter. Collaboration tools will make your employees more productive and more responsive to customers' inquiries. Wherever users are located, they will be more accessible using IP phones, WLAN and web-based applications.
Manage Growth

Scalable architecture

The SV8000 Series incorporates a very scalable, open architecture with almost unlimited networking capabilities; ideal for businesses needing just 25 to 50 lines as well as for those larger corporations that need thousands of lines. In fact, a group of independent SV8000 Servers can be networked to handle up to 200,000 extensions. This unique expansion capability is essential in large businesses where geographic and with new offices and departments constantly emerging, growing and integrating.

Migration and networking

The SV8000 Series can network with your existing NEC and third party systems, so IP technology can be introduced gradually to protect existing investment.

Open interfaces

The system is also future proof. It uses a state-of-the=art open interface so new services and applications can be easily integrated – no matter how fast technology advances.
Reduce Operating costs

Converged network

The SV8000 Series provides converged communications – data, multimedia and voice over one network, which means just one set of wiring costs. One network also consolidates traffic onto existing circuits, which allows you to leverage bandwidth and software applications. It provides a single, common management system for networked system, and can reduce long distance/internal toll charges.

Server-based architecture

The SV8000 Series includes modular core and optional hardware and software components – all of which are server based, so it fits seamlessly into your IT environment. The heart of the system is the IP communication server; which is based on a true Client-server design that does not require the purchase of traditional hardware to support analogue stations or trunk circuits.

Central management

The SV8000 Series peripheral devices enable you to manage equipment in branch offices from one central location or from any web-enabled workstation. This eliminates the need for local network management staff and therefore reduce the total cost of network ownership.

Distributed office

A distributed office location environment reduces the operating expenses incurred in managing disparate equipment by consolidating them into one system. Staff can work remotely (on the road or at home) with access to all corporate voice and data resources; all of which means that you can increase your labor pool without the cost of adding office space.
Improve business continuity

High availability

The SV8000 Series offers unparalleled relibility and continues NEC's reputation for quality. The SV8000 Series is deal for mission-critical situations such as defense, government and 24hr services. Advanced fault diagnosis, uninterruptible power supply, remote telephony survivability, and many other fail-over capabilities all ensure the best availability and operational continuity in the industry.

Voice quality

High voice quality is achieved by optimizing specific functions in hardware and software. The high performance of the line echo cancellation eliminates echo signals. Quality of service parameters prioritize voice traffic and, depending on the individual communication channel, the appropriate voice volume level is automatically and centrally managed by the server.

Security

The SV8000 Series provides secure communications, including voice encryption, a variety of authentication methods, detailed audit logging, data integrity services and bandwidth management services.
Unified Communication

Powerful applications that improve business processes
