Voice. Data. Internet.

It's the triple play of modern-day business communications. It's what separates the contenders from the pretenders in the high-tech wars.

So, wouldn't it be amazing if you could get it all - voice, data and Internet - in one converged technology solution that has been tailored to suit your business?

Oh, you don't think that's possible?



Think again. And spoil yourself.

SSP Converged Solutions, a Calgary dealer, has aligned itself with communications giant Alcatel to deliver a sensational product that is designed to take your business's communications to a new level.

Meet OmniPCX Office, the next generation in communications technology for small and medium-sized businesses. The triple play of communications technology that will leave your competitors in the dust.

In a nutshell, OmniPCX Office is the world's best all-in-one solution for voice, data and Internet. And the best news is that this all-purpose, cost-effective communications technology that has already taken Europe by storm is now available in Alberta.

"Most companies today are looking at new ways to improve their competitive edge and we've got the answer all in one box," says Alfredo Wong, Territory Manager for SSP Converged Solutions (www.goalcatel.com). "This one box allows businesses to do typically everything they need to do today."

Omni PCX Office is essentially an e-communication appliance that provides all the regular telephone capabilities you could possibly want to enhance efficiency and bolster productivity. And that's not all. It also has VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) capabilities. This appliance in a single box can manage data, Internet, voice and converged applications such as Internet services, call management and mobility.

The challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises is to manage increasing information flows from different networks and to optimize telecom equipment costs. The Omni PCXOffice is geared to meet the challenge.

The system is easy to buy because its an all-in-one solution. It's easy to install and easy to maintain, which makes it a perfect match for companies that don't employ IT managers.

Other features of the Omni PCXOffice system include:

* An integrated call centre with just about any feature you could possibly imagine;

Alfredo Wong, of SSP Converged Solutions, has the answer to your company's telecom needs with the OmniPCX Office.

* Unified messaging in which voice mail, e-mail and faxes are provided on one easy-to-use user interface;

* Total mobility around the office and around the world;

* A system that is easily and quickly scalable, meaning it is easy to expand one system just by adding a module, adding a board or enabling a new software key;

* Compatibility to the Linux operating system that has broad acceptance across the computer industry. Linux is open to many applications and especially to Internet services and it integrates with the main Internet protocols; and

* Flexibility that enables customers to customize the system to their exact requirements. For instance, you may expand the network with the external LAN switch offer.

Most importantly, the OmniPCX Office won't cost your company a fortune. "What most companies are focusing on is the dollar, because you just can't keep dumping money into technology without knowing that it's going to pay off," says Wong. "Our products are designed to save money for our customers while enhancing your company's communications efficiency."

Since 1986, SSP Converged Solutions, which also has offices in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, has been consulting, designing and building networks across Canada for customers in various sectors from health care to the financial.

"Alcatel provides the products that provide virtually all the solutions one requires," says Wong. "For example, if you require wireless capabilities, Alcatel can accommodate you.

SSP has the expertise to provide the solutions to fit your business requirements and integrate these products into your business. Basically, SSP Converged Solutions is the one-stop shopping centre where customers can have all their needs fulfilled.

"SSP Converged Solutions is able to take previously separate technologies, such as networks, voice, Internet, telephony and unified messaging, and combine them into unique solutions for each customer," explains Wong.

"The OmniPCX Office has most of the functions that companies are looking for today and we can provide all of these features in one product so the customer doesn't have to purchase multiple products."

The beauty of Alcatel's OmniPCX Office is that it allows you to build your own customized system at your own pace.

"You can start off with a phone system," says Wong. "Then typically you may want to add Internet access and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Once you're on the Internet, you have a firewall that protects you from intruders. It also gives you the ability to have e-mail and an e-mail server. If you have a sales force, the sales force can have access to e-mail and voice-mail when they're away from the office."

If you run a small to medium-sized business that employs between six and 250 people and you're looking for an edge over your competitors, you'll have an opportunity to get a first-hand look at this communications 'triple play' in a box. Alcatel will showcase the OmniPCX Office and other products at a Calgary seminar on Dec. 1, co-hosted by SSP Converged Solutions.
