OREANDA-NEWS. December 27, 2011. Datagroup, the leading telecommunications operator in Ukraine, presents a new solution to the fixed-line segment for the corporate sector. The essence of service lies in the fact that the company outsources to Datagroup its telecommunications infrastructure.  Instead, the operator provides the client with advanced virtual telephone exchange with a complete set of functions that are necessary for a modern office: telephony, video calls, chats, short numbering, phone book, file transfer, control of presence at the workplace, etc. The full range of functions can be managed by you yourself ¬– the operator’s specialists install the intuitive Web-interface. To activate the service you must have access to the Internet. 

The new solution will run on the Iskratel SI3000 softswitch and the IskratelBusinessCommunicator application. 

The main advantage of the service lies in that the client does not need to buy additional telecommunications equipment, and then invest in its modernization. Accordingly, the costs of power, rent of the additional office space, technicians wages will then be reduced. All works will be done on the side of the operator – service provider. Datagroup offers a simple model of monthly payments, the amount of monthly fee depends on the volume of services consumed. The service will be the most cost-effective service for midsize and small businesses. 

"At this stage of development our customers require from us not only innovative solutions, but also reduction of the cost of services. The new Iskratel solution, which was first implemented in Datagroup, is a worthy example of how to combine technology with the minimum cost of services," – Mr. Alexander Danchenko, the Datagroup CEO, has stated. 

Iskratel studies have shown, that the companies who use this offer, have managed to reduce by 26 per cent the costs of the voice services and 32 per cent the costs of the long distance calls and the international calls. 

In addition to financial savings, the solution IskratelBusinessCommunicator provides new opportunities that were unavailable when building their own corporate telephone exchange. For example, a user ID, instant messaging, status of presence at the workplace, the ability to manage their personal settings.
