Nortel (News - Alert) is unveiling new powerful unified communications solutions that let today's mobile worker connect more quickly with colleagues, make faster decisions, and increase responsiveness to customers while helping enterprises make better use of their mobile communications budgets.

 

“Companies are deploying mobile unified communications for many reasons, but primarily because it makes people more effective," Brent Kelly, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research said in a statement.

 

Kelly continued: "With a mobile unified communications solution, call completion rates can rise 30% - 50%. Companies can also trade savings from mobile phone charges for an increased spend in Wi-Fi networks, dual-mode phones, customer-based equipment or licenses to support a mobile unified communications deployment. The key is that organizations can do a lot more with a similar spend."

 

The Nortel unified communications solutions also help workers eliminate the time wasting frustration of managing multiple phone numbers and voice mailboxes.

 

"Many business people use about six different communication devices and almost as many software applications on those devices - but that's not helping people to better connect," said Joel Hackney (News - Alert), president of Nortel’s enterprise solutions division, in a statement. "By bringing together all of the devices, phone numbers and inboxes, Nortel is simplifying the work environment and allowing more real-time interaction."

 

Moreover, Nortel's unified communications solutions can also help bring down mobile communication costs by up to 30 percent through more efficient handling of mobile calls using corporate enterprise dial plans.

 

"Nortel has been a key collaborator in providing technologies that power TDC Sweden's communications solutions and allow our customers to benefit from the most advanced and cost-efficient technology," said Jeanette Jager, product and marketing director, TDC Sweden.

 

Jager continued: "We are excited about the value Nortel's new mobile extension capability will provide to our customers by enabling them to transform their businesses with lower cost mobility, and tighter integration between mobile phones and enterprise-based applications. In fact, we have recently seen deployments with customer savings of more than US $5 million annually when implementing Nortel's unified communications solutions featuring mobile extension capabilities."
