Avaya IP Office Voicemail messaging

IP Office Voicemail Messaging applications are vital for businesses that want to ensure that every call is answered, even after hours or when everyone is busy, and that messages are properly and efficiently managed. All IP Office Voicemail applications have been specifically designed to give your business a competitive edge by providing a total communications system. IP Office Voicemail offers three messaging applications IP Office VoiceMail Lite, IP Office Embedded VoiceMail and IP Office VoiceMail Pro supporting features such as automated attendant, conference meet me, VoiceMail, unified voice and e-mail, and networked messaging.

IP Office embeded Voicemail

On both, the IP Office Small Edition and the IP406 V2, Embedded Voicemail can be installed to provide an entry-level voicemail service. Embedded Voicemail resides inside of your Avaya IP Office base unit on a compact flash card eliminating the need for a separate voicemail PC. Embedded Voicemail is the preferred solution to enable an entry-level voicemail service, in environments like a retail or home business where no space for a PC is available or you do not want to keep a PC running all the time. On both, the IP Office Small Edition and the IP406, Embedded Voicemail can be installed to provide an entry-level voicemail service. The maximum number of messages stored is only restricted by Embedded Voicemail cards storage capacity (currently around 10 hours on the Small Edition and 15 hours on the IP406.

IP Office Voicemail Lite

IP Office Voicemail Lite is IP Office's standard Voicemail application. It can handle up to 4 simultaneous calls system-wide. VoiceMail Lite can handle the requirements of small organizations - typically up to 40 employes. Voicemail Lite provides basic voicemail for each user, no Auto Attendant feature is available with this version. (Auto Attendant provided in Voicemail Pro and Embedded)

When enabled Voicemail Lite automatically answers your telephone when you are not available to take a call. You can record your own personal message greeting to let your caller know that they've reached the right mailbox.
With IP Office Voicemail lite, you can configure messages to play as a continuous loop - without allowing messages to be left. At any time, callers can press a key to be transferred to a predetermined number - usually the receptionist.

IP Office Voicemail Pro

VM_PRO_AA

IP Office VoiceMail Pro is enabled by the IP Office Preferred Edition and is the IP Office advanced voicemail application. It can handle up to 40 simultaneous calls depending on license and system settings. Each user has the option of turning their voicemail on or off. When on, the system automatically answers their telephone when they are not available to take a call, plays a personal greeting, and records a message.

When a message has been left, the user will see a message-waiting lamp lit on their telephone and can press a retrieval button to collect their messages.

VoiceMail Pro can also ring the user to deliver any new messages. Voicemail messages are time and date stamped and the caller's number recorded. VoiceMail Pro can be configured to delete read messages automatically, unless the user chooses to save the message permanently.

Voicemails can be collected remotely by dialing into the VoiceMail Pro server. If the number the user is dialing from is recognized (home number or Mobile/Cell Phone for example), the user will listen to their voicemail straight away. If the source number is not recognized, the user will be prompted for a mailbox number and a PIN code for that mailbox, before they can listen to their voicemail. Users have the ability to set and change their own PIN codes.

When a voicemail needs to be forwarded to other users, VoiceMail Pro provides many options:

•	Voicemails can be forwarded to another mailbox, or group of mailboxes

•	Recipients can add their comments to the voicemail before forwarding to another mailbox or mailboxes.

•	Voicemails can be forwarded as email WAV attachments.

All options are available in a choice of languages; both spoken voice prompts and graphical programming interfaces and have the choice of IP Office TUI and INTUITY emulation TUI.

At the heart of VoiceMail Pro is the ability to construct call flows from a series of different building blocks. These building blocks allow automation over tasks like answer a call, listen for tone-dialed digits, make a call etc. VoiceMail Pro call flows allow far more than just guiding a user to the group or extension they require. Call flows allow VoiceMail Pro to dial back users as soon as a voicemail message is left for them, it provides remote access to phone forwarding settings should a user wish to change their Forwarding or Follow Me number from an external telephone. VoiceMail Pro provides message handling for individuals or groups, audio information to callers so assisting the operator during periods of heavy call activity and links to business applications through services such as Text-to-Speech. VoiceMail Pro provides a full telephony applications environment where call flows can be set up and interact in real time with business workflow – callers can interact via menus and data entry and VoiceMail Pro applications can speak back results. For example, users can listen to their email messages through the telephone.

Integration with email systems is provided by the VoiceMail Pro Unified Messaging Service (UMS) which is delivered to eligible users as part of the Power User Package. It enables VoiceMail Pro to interact with email systems to provide a synchronization of voicemails and their status (new/unread, read, deleted, saved) between all user devices like desk phones, mobile cell phones, the UMS web interface, one-X Portal for IP Office, the email client and other devices that are synchronized with the user’s email account. This will work for email clients that are able to use the IMAP4 protocol (like MS Outlook, Lotus Notes, Mozilla Thunderbird, and many others).

Advanced collaboration between VoiceMail Pro and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 offers voicemail storage into the Exchange message store. This is the single point of storage for all email and voicemail messages and therefore the single source for all message status information. When a voicemail should be collected using a desk phone connected to the IP Office, VoiceMail Pro will retrieve it directly from the Exchange message store. VoiceMail Pro sends the voicemails not just as emails with a .WAV attachment but as a message formatted as ‘voicemail’ so that Exchange can handle them differently from emails.

If Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 working with a mobility solution server (e.g., a Blackberry Enterprise Server) are used to push emails to mobile devices (Blackberry or similar), VoiceMail Pro will also integrate and deliver voicemails via the Exchange Server to the mobility solution. The mobile device will then be able to present voicemails on the visual voicemail interface (instead of presenting them as emails with an attachment).

A single PC based VoiceMail Pro server can provide voicemail services to multiple IP Office systems in a Small Community Network over the LAN, WAN or a Frame Relay network. This is referred to as 'Centralized Voicemail' and can reduce costs, while facilitating communication between IP Office sites. For resilience, should the main site fail, the Centralized Voicemail will automatically reconnect to an alternative IP Office site.

Other uses for VoiceMail Pro include:

•

Whisper Announce that prompts callers for information (usually their name) which is recorded and passed on to the user's extension on answer, allowing them to choose to accept the call or not. This is particularly useful on "CLI/ANI withheld" numbers - usually calls from telesales companies where somebody is trying to sell you something. VoiceMail Pro will not intrude onto busy extensions.

•	Assisted Transfer allows transfer of a call to a destination, but allows the call to return to VoiceMail Pro automatically for other options should the called party be engaged, or not answer within a pre-determined time.

•

Conditional routing of calls. Conditions are constructed from a set of basic elements. These elements can be combined within a single condition to create complex rules. For example, the Week Planner can be used to define the company's standard working hours, and then combined with the calendar to define exception days such as public holidays / vacation.

•

Call modules. Modules allow you to create sequences of actions that you want to share between a number of different call routing scenarios – like a "macro" in PC applications. These modules can be used to create a library of vertical voicemail applications or just easy dissemination to other IP Office voicemail sites, thanks to its import and export functionality.

•	Activation of the external relays on the IP Office system. For example, remotely checking the status of the office heating and then turning it on from your mobile/cell phone on your drive in to work.
