Drive Productivity with the SV8100 from NEC

With the worst of the economic downturn behind us and the Canadian economic outlook improving through 2010, many owners and managers of small businesses are looking to technology to drive productivity and improve the bottom line. According to IDC Research, companies that prepare for growth in depressed economic times generally have a 9 to 12 month advantage when the economy improves compared to businesses that focus entirely on cost containment.

Productivity will be the growth driver for any organization as the economy improves and now is the time to think strategically about the tools that can be used to increase profits, manage costs and improve customer satisfaction.

ECI, in partnership with NEC, a world leader in telecommunications, has released a bold new program offering owners of older NEC systems a simple way to employ the latest technology, while simultaneously allowing them to preserve their existing investment in things such as phones, cards, and line interfaces. With applications that are sure to improve the productivity of staff as well as the bottom line, migration to the new SV8100 system from NEC is an opportunity worth investing in.

Even at its most basic level, migration to the new SV8100 from NEC offers a number of benefits to an SME currently employing an older NEC system, not the least of which is an updated voice mail system for automated attendant and messaging. The upgrade also allows for remote ECI Helpdesk support as well as a 5-year NEC SV8100 Software Assurance subscription to go along with the system's 5-year hardware warranty, meaning SME's will always have the latest software at their fingertips.

For those businesses that are ready to move beyond the basics, enhanced telework capabilities can allow for the overall organizational footprint to be expanded without needing to find or create more physical office space. At the same time, the benefits of a single phone number and voice mailbox for remote staff, and reduced costs associated with corporate cell-phone usage can be realized. Similarly, if an organization is ready to reap the rewards of increased efficiency and improved customer satisfaction, providing staff with more in-office mobility as part of an SV8100 upgrade may prove to be the answer.

Lastly, for organizations that feel the need to push productivity even further to that "next level" of collaboration, and are looking to speed up response time to customers significantly, NEC's Desktop Unified Communications Suite may be the productivity tool that has been missing.

Whatever an organization's immediate requirements with respect to technology, fundamental or complex, small businesses would be wise to stay ahead of the curve. Taking advantage of the opportunity and migrating to NEC's SV8100 now, means investing in the functionality and flexibility needed to take advantage of an economy that looks to continue its resurgence moving forward.
