one-X alone doesn't have corp vmail

penelope · August 30th, 2007, 12:25 AM

We are pretty far along with our RFP process and we just found out last week that the one-X phones that Avaya proposed for our five Regus facility offices (building provided internet access) would have NO connectivity to the corp vmail. They could not send or receive vmail from anyone else in the company. Basically, it's like an answering machine. I am really disappointed with Avaya's actions on this since it has been stated over and over that getting EVERYONE integrated onto the corporate vmail system is a major driver of this project. What's the point of getting all new systems or upgrading everyone so that we can have centralized voicemail and pbx admin when the offices that have NO access now really STILL wouldn't have access?

They have now revised their quote to install G250 gateways in those locations with up to maybe 5 people.

Why not put a small office in. If these are networking back to a definity, there will be no problems with centralized vmail. And I think they will be cheaper.

one-X is a distributed gig. there is no centeralized voicemail... as i understand it

Exactly. Its a peer to peer system. Not peer to definity...... Avaya should have looked at the RFP a little closer...

What do you mean by a "small office"? They have changed their proposal to put G250s in the small locations instead of the one-X.

Yes, they should have looked closer, not to mention all of the discussions about vmail to EVERYONE being an issue.
