Under terms of the 10-year contract, the network of voice messaging systems will connect offices throughout the United States and be installed over the term of the contract, beginning this year.
Many businesses use voice messaging systems to speed up the flow of information between employees.
Linking separate voice messaging system sites also combines the savings of centralized administration with the benefits of an on-site system, the company said. For example, a networked arrangement reduces long distance costs because messages are stored and retrieved locally, instead of in a mailbox remotely located. Sending voice mail messages between locations more quickly will improve efficiency in retrieving messages and reduce the costs associated with long distance communications. A digital system also reduces administrative time by automatically updating various system changes for all locations. Now we'll work closely with the IRS to tailor the system to its needs.
