Nortel Networks Solution
Customers can use either Symposium Call Centre
Server or Symposium Express Call Centre with an IP-
enabled Meridian 1 (Figure 1) to leverage the power
and performance of Internet Telephony. Regardless
of their business environments – single site or
geographically dispersed – they can use Internet
Telephony to simplify management and
administration and to extend contact centre
capabilities to agents. This flexibility results in lower
operating costs and increased employee retention,
both of which improve profits.
Customers who wish to maintain an all IP
environment can use Symposium Call Centre Server
or Symposium Express Call Centre with Succession
Communication Server for Enterprise (CSE) 1000
(Figure 2). The Succession CSE 1000 is a server-based,
IP-distributed communication system that delivers
an unprecedented level of performance and range of
system features. It allows customers to implement IP
Telephony without sacrificing the quality of business
communications that an enterprise requires.
With IP Contact Centre solutions from
Nortel Networks, you can choose the technology
solution you need to conduct business today
without having to overhaul or invest in completely
new communications infrastructures.
