that helps remove the barriers between voice, email, conferencing, video and instant messaging. It's an Office-in-a-Box. 
Why do I need it?
officeCUBE saves you time and money by simplifying, consolidating and streamlining you business commuications. officeCUBE is aimed at the small business from 2 to 20 users but there is no limit to the number of users that can be added to the system. Scale-ability is designed into officeCUBE. officeCUBE is a single hardware platform which provides all your companys' IT,telephony and security needs. It enables a small business to take control of its communications costs, substantially lowering them by reducing the following costs:
With Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Automated Call Handling, calls to your office, on any of the 10 DDI lines provided, are never missed and are directed efficiently to the correct person whether they are at their desk, or to a mobile on the move or voicemail. Email is SPAM and VIRUS checked so your electronic communication is secure. officeCUBE enables your small company to present a professional, big business image to its customers whilst saving your company thousands of pounds a year. When you are starting up a new business or moving office it can be a daunting and time consuming process having to liaise with the many suppliers required in order to get your email, Blackberry, fax, telephones, printers and PCs working, let alone working together efficiently as one communications system. Sure you can pick up the Yellow Pages, and phone around getting various quotes, but if you are not technically savvie, its nearly impossible to be sure that you are getting what you want and also if its value for money. It's even harder to predict the on-going costs. And on top of all that who is going to maintain and run it for you? The officeCUBE concept aims to address these issues by simplifying what you need in order to get all these services running. In its simplest form you will need a single piece of hardware called the officeCUBE appliance, a broadband connection (supplied by us so no need to source yourself), a few IP telephones, some PCs and a printer and that's it. Your office is ready to go. No expensive server or application software and therefore no recurring license fees or no limit to the number of users of the system. You will get 10 DDI telephone lines with numbers of your choice so if you want a London number and you are based in John O'Groates… no problem, as an added bonus these numbers can be moved with your officeCUBE appliance so if you're moving offices again you can take your numbers with you at no extra cost. You can of course port your existing BT business number as well. There are no recurring line charges, only what you pay for the broadband connection which is a business grade circuit, 16Mb fully managed, and with no download limits or minimum contract. Think about that for a moment, you pay BT for the analogue line used for the ADSL circuit at £10.50 a month and a monthly charge for the ADSL circuit of £87 per month and for that you get 10 telephone lines to use as you please with an 16Mb ADSL circuit. BT would charge £710 a quarter just to lease you 10 DDI lines and that's ISDN 2e, if you use ISDN30e you would be looking at about £60-£125 per line per quarter with minimum of 8 lines. Have a look at the one off setup fees for both these services ISDN price list. Actually trying to decipher the costs for connection fees, various charges, and the confusingly many different pricing options makes trying to workout what you will pay extremely difficult. With the officeCUBE it's simple. You pay for the ADSL line rental and call cost from 1p per minute. No tie-in periods or minimum contract lengths, you cannot get more straight forward than that. The officeCUBE appliance provides the ability to synchronise your email across your PC, laptop and mobile phone, that is Blackberry like functionality with no fees to be paid to Blackberry or us for that matter, of course you will have to pay the data costs of your mobile provider but we can help get you a price plan which includes data in it. All your files can be shared and also your printers. Even better your data and emails are all virus and spam protected with free daily updates. The officeCUBE system has the highest levels of security built in, with a total of three independant firewalls protecting the system. However the system allows secure remote access for home workers allowing them to access company data remotely, including their emails. Remote workers can also have “extensions” at home so they can literally work as if they were in the office. Your clients will never know that your workforce isn't sat at their desks potentially being more productive elsewhere and generating you cash. In these days of high traveling costs, remote working can be a real time and money saver as well as increasing your revenue stream. Finally, the officeCUBE appliance provides added security to your business premises with a surveillance and monitoring system capable of the highest quality recording and playback of triggered alarms and events. The system's images can be viewed remotely from any internet connect computer and even from your mobile phone.
