Hilversum, 28 June 2010 – NEC Unified Solutions today introduced Business ConneCT Mobile Client and XML Terminal Client, two new state-of-the-art Unified Communications solutions that extend the functionality and capabilities of NEC’s communications servers to smart phones and desktop terminals.

Mobile Client and XML Terminal Client are part of NEC’s unique all-in-one UC solution Business ConneCT (BCT), which offers Unified Communications, Contact Center and Operator Attendant as one fully integrated and affordable solution for all NEC’s existing and future communications platforms.

BCT Mobile Client transforms smartphones into fully integrated UC clients
By combining Unified Communications and Mobility, BCT Mobile Client takes business productivity to a next level and integrates mobile workers with the organisation. Organisations save on mobile phone costs as mobile calls are always routed through the office telephony infrastructure. Mobile phones become true office extensions and are transformed into UC clients, enabling businesses to communicate more efficiently, increase productivity and reduce travel expenditure. With access to features such as corporate directory and presence services, employees can be reached by a single number and a single voicemail box, regardless of where they are or the device used.

“BCT Mobile Client provides our mobile workforce with an excellent tool to stay in touch with colleagues wherever they are”, says Rob Dinnissen, Product Manager at NEC Unified Solutions. “Everybody in the company, including our Operator Attendant, can see whether I am in a call on my mobile phone. I only have one telephone number on my business card and use only one voicemail box.”

BCT Mobile Client is easy to deploy and extremely user friendly, running in a web browser on a variety of mobile devices and platforms such as Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android, Nokia and Windows Mobile smartphones.

BCT Terminal XML Client enhances the user experience with UC on desktop phones
Also on the desktop NEC is enhancing the user experience. Based on state-of-the-art XML technology, BCT Terminal XML Client delivers Unified Communications to NEC’s much appreciated DT700 range of desktop phones, which includes the DT710 Economy, DT730 Enhanced and the DT750 Sophisticated terminals.

From their phone, users can search company, external and personal directories and can update and add contacts. The company directory provides real-time Presence status showing whether a contact is available, absent or on the phone. To dial a contact one simply presses a button or (on the DT750 terminal) uses the touch screen. A list of voicemail messages, missed and answered telephone calls are also presented.

Uniquely positioned to integrate UC across the organisation
BCT Mobile Client and XML Terminal Client are available from NEC and its business partners as part of Business ConneCT Release 4.5. “We are now uniquely positioned to provide organisations with Unified Communications on desktop computers, Polycom SIP phones, IP DECT handsets, DT700 desktop terminals and on mobile phones, all as part of one integral solution”, concludes Dinnissen.
