Yamaha Conference Phone Enables Seamless Collaboration

by Cody Blackley

Summit Public Schools located in Silicon Valley, creates a collaborative and educational environment for over 6,000 students through the use of the most revolutionary and advanced technology available.

quote By using this advanced technology, Summit Public Schools allows students all the resources necessary to pursue what they are truly passionate about. Even with today’s most revolutionary technology the school still struggled with poor audio quality for weekly leadership calls.

YVC-1000 Gives Peace of Mind to Summit Public Schools

As CTO of Summit Public Schools, Bryant Wong quickly realized that although all proper implementations were made to the network infrastructure to support its video conferencing setip, the audio quality was lacking which hindered the effectiveness of these high-impact meetings. The echo disrupted the conversation of the meeting and the constant outages began to become too frustrating to bare.

The decision was made to get rid of the school’s inefficient conferencing system after trying the Yamaha YVC-1000. The ease of use and simplicity of the phone really took meeting participants by surprise, just plug in and it’s good to go. The audio quality and reliability of the Yamaha YVC-1000 drove the leadership team to outfit other locations with the YVC-1000. Finally, the school had a conferencing solution that restored the effectiveness of the calls and also gave peace of mind to the Summit Public Schools leaderships knowing the technology will consistently work.

How to put a call from cordless phone on hold and pick up from the base phone?

by Ying-Hui Chen

Our tech support team at VoIP Supply offers great pre- and post- sales support plus provisioning, consultations, configuration, and installation help. We get a lot of VoIP hardware and software questions and would like to share the solutions with everyone.

In previous Mom’s calling Q&A series, we have discussed: How Do I Register Cisco Phones on Switchvox Device. Today, we have more new real questions and answers from VoIP users just like you.

How to put a call from cordless phone on hold and pick up from the base phone?

Q: Is is possible to have a cordless phone (Panasonic KX-TGP600) tied to a based phone where you take a call on the cordless phone and put the call on hold and see the call on hold on the based phone to access the call?

A: You can use park zones in most phone systems to place a call on a system with “hold” and then pick up the call on the park zone. A desk phone can usually have a key that is lit or unlit based on if there is a call on park. With an Asterisk system, you could transfer the ball between phones with a transfer button or dial ## for a blind transfer. You can also park the call like I mentioned above. You would need to add a BLF (busy lamp field) on your Polycom for the park zone.

web_collaboration_tools Everyday we are looking for ways to work more efficiently and grow our businesses. With the multitude of web collaboration tools and analytics offered from VoIP service providers you’re able to gain this with your communication system.

Be in the room without being in the room!

Communication within business is crucial to the longevity of the company. One tool that sticks out is video conferencing. There are VoIP phones out there that support video right from your desktop. When you’re able to see co-workers and customers it increases the relationship between them and in turn building trust.

Seamless transfer between devices

Most VoIP service offerings allow you to download a softphone app to your phone and make calls via your mobile device. These apps are normally included and free with your VoIP system.

Instead of waiting to take a call when you get to the office, you now have different options. While driving in to work you need to take a call via your mobile device. When you arrive in to your office you can seamlessly transfer this call over to your deskphone without the person on the other end knowing. Most of the VoIP phones offer Bluetooth capability allowing you to use the same headset with your cell phone and deskphone.

Analytics at your fingertips

advanced_analytics

The path to success can’t be measured by just one thing you need to do everyday. With analytics you’re able to measure all types of activities and have them instantly available to you.

With real time analytics you can see what patterns are occurring day to day and make adjustments where necessary.

Competition amongst team members

A healthy competition between co-workers and team members can generate profits for the company. With analytics you’re able to track each employees activity and have it be updated in real time. This will allow everyone to see who is winning or losing and begin to generate more activity throughout the day.

Employees who are more engaged each and every day show higher profitability and a lower turnover rate.
