Server-Based Phone System: Televantage

No matter what your company does, it's a communications company. Because how you stay in touch with customers,staff and vendors has a huge impact on what you can accomplish. Telephone connections can enhance your image and dramatically improve productivity-or they can have the exact opposite effect. You need a telephone system that has the features and flexibility to help you grow. A system that works the way you want-so you're in complete control of your calls, messages and accessibility. Does such a phone system actually exist? Absolutely.

A software-PBX differs from a PBX, PABX or Key System because the telephone system's intelligence is driven by software instead of hardware. Because the feature set is driven by software, more features can be provided at a fraction of the cost of a similarly equipped PBX. A true software-PBX, TeleVantage is based on open industry standards. TeleVantage runs on a standard PC (within your LAN environment), uses industry-standard line cards from Dialogic, an Intel Company, runs on the Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems and works with virtually any standard analog or CLASS feature telephone. Legacy PBX systems, and even some PC-based telephone systems, are based on proprietary equipment, requiring you to buy their hardware, their telephones, and their expansion cards.

Since its market debut in March 1998, TeleVantage has quickly become the leading software-PBX system among NT server-based phone systems, the fastest-growing segment of the computer telephony market. Ranked #1 product of the year by Computer Telephony Magazine, TeleVantage has been hailed by both users and industry leaders as the strongest, most intelligent software-PBX available.
