We are getting references, healthcare ones etc. Will keep that in mind regarding the vendors.
We are looking at Avaya, Notrtel, Nec primarily. The vendor is responsible for the cut all the way through.
We are talking about tag and toning the entire hospital, doing a phased cutover, putting some centrex lines into the new PBX to facilitate 4 digit dialing throughout the cutover.
We are converting our centrex to did's on pri circuits.
We estimate a conservitive savings of $10K a month. |
Our Company did a 900 station hospital not too long ago. We were replacing an old Rolm system that had been there for years. We also did the change over in phases. We put TIE t-1's between the Rolm and the Tadiran so no one would go with out phone service. We did run into some snags which were expected but other than that it was fine. We also had to get our circuits from Verizon which was a pain to say the least. Hospitals can be difficult but very rewarding after the fact. PM me if you would like to discuss some alternatives to your selection of PBX's. Just remember, just because you hear a PBX manufacturers name in commercials and all doesnt mean they are the best.
