Putting the System to Work
This chapter provides a variety of sample business scenarios to help you
understand your existing system and other configurations you may want to
consider in the future. The following examples are discussed:
■ Scenario 1: A Small Office (Key Mode). A private medical practice.
■ Scenario 2: A Large Professional Office (Hybrid/PBX Mode). A law firm
with some special needs and concerns, including covering calls and
restricting outgoing calls.
■ Scenario 3: A Dual-Location Company (Hybrid/PBX Mode). A
dual-location direct marketing company with a group of telephone order
agents, faxed and electronically mailed orders, a field sales force, and a
group of customer service representatives. The company also requires
voice and data connections between the locations.
Each scenario includes some general background (a description of the company’s
staff, particular needs and concerns, and a floor plan) and then descriptions of
some of the major aspects of the system as set up to meet the company’s needs,
for example, equipment, methods of call coverage, and calling restrictions.
To better understand your current system, review the scenario that is most like
your own. When you are planning system expansion, review one or both of the
other scenarios that involve system aspects for which you are planning.
NOTE:
For more information about the system equipment used in the scenarios,
see Chapter 3, ‘‘
System Components’’. For more information about system
features and applications, see Chapter 4, ‘‘
