Challenges
As a rapidly and constantly sprouting Gujarat government marine agency, the GMB decided to develop a new corporate space at the Gandhinagar Gift City. On account of the same, they required a strong communication architecture to be installed that fulfills all the needs of a modern corporate enterprise. They required a solution that gives them a single platform unification of numerous business essentials. Their prime demands from the proposed solution can be summed up as:
- Corporate-grade Professional Communication
- Hassle-free Workow Management
- Single Box Solution for Multiple Networks
- Smooth Communication without Wired Connectivity
- Secure Business Connectivity
- Unified Services for Better Collaboration
Solution
Matrix studied the challenges in-depth and crafted a custom solution by proposing an IP-based UC platform along with IP extensions and gateways. The solution was designed to be well-equipped to manage all business communications from one place. The PRASAR UCS added in the solution suffices the much-needed – Collaboration, Communication, Messaging, and Mobility for any corporate space. Unifying all the communication networks and devices provides users with the flexibility of accessing the calls, messaging, and voicemails from any of the devices irrespective of their location.
Matrix also kept in mind the modern enterprises’ search for solutions that are future-proof, long-lasting, and hybrid in certain areas that give them a comprehensive solution. They prefer a system that is cost-effective on multiple fronts.
This led the solution to be further developed with the addition of gateways, both VoIP and PRI. Finally, the solution was fully proofed by deploying two different-leveled IP extensions as required. The IP extensions were picked with a crisp vision of balancing user convenience and advanced call management.
