Full Featured PBX
AltiWare OE includes the switching capability found in legacy PBX or key phone systems, plus much more. It's really not fair to call it a phone system, because even its standard features leave other systems trailing behind.

Automated Attendant
Auto Attendant may be used primary or secondary to a live operator. After hours, it can be used to relay company information or allow callers to direct themselves to a specific user's extension voicemail. Users can to access their voice mail and numerous other features using the Auto Attendant.

Voice Mail
AltiWare OE provides extremely robust and easy to use voice mail capability. With traditional phone systems, adding voice mail generally requires connecting a separate voice mail server or adding special cards to the telephone system. AltiWare OE includes built-in voice mail service for virtually an unlimited number of permanent or guest users.

Automatic Call Distribution
AltiWare OE comes with Workgroups and Call Queuing capability for informal call center applications. Until now, this functionality required a separate and very expensive add-on for most phone systems. AltiWare OE supports up to 32 workgroups, with up to 64 members per group. When no one is available in a workgroup, calls are placed into queue and distributed on a first available member or round robin basis. Callers can be played up to five separate messages, at a selected interval, while they are waiting in queue. If a call sent to a phone goes unanswered, it will be sent to the next person in that group. If callers don't want to wait in queue, they have the option of transferring out to the operator or to voice mail.

While on hold, callers hear either music or a sequence of recordings. Whether you have 3 people or 80 people, Workgroups and Call Queuing will help you handle your incoming calls more efficiently and provide customer service on par with Fortune 500 companies.
