OpenScape Business Overview A complete enterprise communications solution in a convenient, reliable, and affordable package. OpenScape Business enables small and medium-sized organisations to enjoy the many functionality, cost-saving, and productivity benefits that IP telephony and unified communications can offer. The convenience of an ‘all-in-one’ approach Significantly, OpenScape Business comes with everything you’d expect from an enterprise-grade communications solution built-in and readyto-go including telephony, messaging, conferencing, collaboration tools, and a contact centre. This ‘all-in-one’ approach eliminates the cost and complexity of building your own solution, whilst guaranteeing that all your applications will work together seamlessly. The easiest path to unified communications (UC) OpenScape Business is designed to allow customers to upgrade to the latest UC technology irrespective of their underlying telephony infrastructure. For example, for customers new to IP communications the OpenScape Business X-range allows them to deploy the latest UC applications immediately while still using their existing Unify analogue, digital, and DECT equipment. For those who have already invested in a voice-ready IP network, the S model enables them to deploy an enterprise-level IPonly solution straight from the box.
OpenScape Business offers the latest unified communications applications, irrespective of your current telephony infrastructure.

A superior user experience OpenScape Business delivers a class-leading user experience that will bring new levels of convenience and flexibility to your employees, increase their accessibility, and enable them to conduct their work activities more effectively. In particular, users will be able to view all their communications applications and activities from a single easy-to-use interface, meaning they will spend less time juggling between different devices and message boxes. They will enjoy the ease with which they can receive and transfer calls, manage voicemails, set-up conference calls, and view call journals and directories. While heavy telephony users will appreciate OpenScape Business’s many productivity tools and labour saving functions.
‘At-a-glance’ interfaces simplify communications and keeps users well-informed and well-organised.
HD audio handsets Unify’s handsets cater for different user profiles, meaning individuals will find a model configured to suit their particular needs. All handsets share the same intuitive design that ensures ease of use, and makes common tasks such as setting-up conference calls or completing transfers simple and efficient. All IP models have enhanced HD audio, and OpenScape are the only handsets to be accredited with the Blue Angel environmental award for their low power consumption, unique out-of-hours ‘power-down’ feature, and overall low running costs.

Supporting ‘anywhere workers’ With OpenScape Business there will be no boundaries to where your users can work. Whether they are in the office, at home, or on the move, your ‘anywhere workers’ can stay connected and still enjoy all the same familiar features they get on their office phones. For example, mobile workers will be able to enjoy UC features from their smart phones and tablets, with the ability to join conferences, utilise presence, and access directories, favourites, voicemail, and call journals, regardless of their location. Home and remote workers can stay connected without the need for a VPN, and get all the same functionality and accessibility as if they were in the office. And OpenScape’s desk-sharing solution enables occasional office users to share a desk phone users simply enter a PIN-code to download their personal phone settings.
Better customer service OpenScape Business includes a multimedia contact centre solution capable of providing your customers with a full range of engagement options including voice, email, text, chat, fax, and social media. The solution is fully-scalable to enable customers to design a deployment that will exactly fit their needs - from a small informal customer service team, up to a 64-seat fully-featured multimedia contact centre operation.
The ‘myAgent’ interface provides a full suite of contact centre features from a single desktop view.
The solution includes ‘skills-based routing’ to ensure contacts from any source can be routed straight to the person most able to help them. Agents and supervisors benefit from a full suite of contact centre functions from a single desktop interface, including call queue information, customer details (via screen pop), agent availability, presence status, internal directories, call history, and performance statistics. And the solution also comes with professional administration features including customised reporting, and a simple ‘drag-and-drop’ tool for creating routing plans.

Improved efficiency Easy to manage OpenScape Business provides a web-based management interface, meaning system administrators can monitor performance and undertake common tasks, such as add or remove a user, view system status, and view licenses and software, from any location. As a further aid, all OpenScape handsets can be pre-configured to ensure ‘plugand-play’ functionality. Reduced costs Thanks to its advanced IP, SIP, and collaboration capabilities, OpenScape Business will allow you to reduce costs by:
• • • • •
Web-based management with ‘all-in-one-view’ landing page
Consolidating your carrier connections and introducing low-cost IP telephony via SIP trunking. Routing mobile calls across the office WLAN rather than on expensive cellular networks. Eliminating the need for expensive conference bureau services. Utilising free instant messaging services. Providing advanced mobility, conferencing, and collaboration features to reduce travel requirements and the need for permanent desk space.
In addition, OpenScape Business uses license-based pricing whereby customers simply ‘unlock’ the user capacity and applications they want through the purchase of licenses, without the need for any additional hardware. This means customers can match their system size and functionality to their exact requirements and, in doing so, avoid wasting money on overcapacity or features they don’t want.

OpenScape Business Unified communications Making communications quicker, simpler, and more collaborative. Unified communications (UC) brings together all the different ways you communicate - voice, email, text, video, instant message - into one seamless user experience that can be accessed in any location on any device. UC brings three main benefits: Simplify. UC simplifies the user experience by making all your communications applications and activities accessible from a single interface, meaning you will spend less time juggling between different devices and message boxes.
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
Amplify. UC provides a range of collaboration tools - such as presence, conferencing, and web collaboration - to amplify team performance by making your staff more connected, more accessible, and more productive. Organise. UC provides a range of personal efficiency tools to help keep you organised such as a personal contact list, call journal, auto-attendant feature, and instant access to corporate directories. Two UC packages to choose from OpenScape Business provides a simple path for those wishing to upgrade their voice system to provide a full UC solution. Two packages are available – UC Smart and UC Suite – both of which can be overlaid on a traditional TDM voice infrastructure.
UC Smart
Work anywhere, with any device, on any network
Entry-level UC for up to 500 users Presence
UC Smart comes pre-integrated on the X1 model for 30 users. For all other X-range models it comes pre-integrated for up to 50 users, but is scalable to 250 users in conjunction with a UC booster server. The S model provides UC Smart for up to 500 users.
UC Suite
All your communication tools in one place
Favourites Visual voicemail Conferencing Directory access Instant messaging
Advanced UC for up to 1,500 users

UC portals Depending on the selected UC solution – UC Smart or UC Suite – the following range of UC clients which offer different functions and integration options are available.
myPortal Smart myPortal Smart provides office workers with easy access to all UC Smart functions - such as presence, favourites, phone book, instant messaging, voicemail, and call journals – via a Windows PC or iMac.
All your communications tools at your fingertips
myPortal for Desktop myPortal for Desktop provides a single interface to give office workers access to a full range of UC Suite functions. For example, the interface makes it easy for users to place, receive, route, log, and record phone calls, and users can set-up a conference call in seconds by dragging and dropping contacts into a box. Other features include a full range of messaging options - voicemail, fax box, and instant messaging; the ability to compile ‘favourites’ lists which enable quick access to colleagues and the ability to check their presence status; and integration with Microsoft Outlook calendars.
Enhanced UC from a single desktop interface
myPortal for Outlook myPortal for Outlook enables UC Suite users to access their communications directly from Microsoft Outlook, including setting their presence status and preferred device, scheduling a conference, checking voicemail, or sending an instant message. This adds simplicity and value to the user’s experience, especially for those who use Outlook as their primary work interface, and makes common tasks quicker and easier.
Access your communications tools from MS Outlook
myPortal To Go myPortal To Go provides an intuitive interface for smart phones and tablets. Available in versions for both UC Smart and UC Suite, it provides mobile employees with instant one-click access to UC functions regardless of where they are located, thus keeping the user fully integrated with the enterprise communications system.

OpenScape Business Web collaboration The most convenient and cost-effective way for colleagues to collaborate. Web collaboration is quite simply the quickest, most convenient, and most cost-effective way for colleagues to collaborate from multiple locations. Unify is a world leader in developing web collaboration technology, and OpenScape Business comes with the option of a full-featured web collaboration solution specifically designed for small and medium-sized organisations. How it works OpenScape web collaboration enables users to set-up web collaboration sessions in parallel with audio conferences. Each session can be attended by OpenScape web collaboration users as well as other internal staff and even external participants. Setting-up a collaboration session is easy - it can be launched either from a ‘drag-and-drop’ conferencing scheduler, or directly from a call pop-up window. Users can then share documents, presentations, spreadsheets, or video in real-time via the desktop interface. Participants can use laptop, smart phone or tablet devices, and the solution is encrypted to ensure security.

Secure, scalable, reliable
Using web collaboration OpenScape Business offers the following two web collaboration options: Instant Meetings Instant Meetings provides customers with all the tools they need to set-up and hold real-time web collaboration sessions. Everyone in the session can view and share documents and applications, use video, and make free-hand sketches and scribbled amendments with a ‘white boarding’ feature. Secure Advisor Secure Advisor provides an on-line support tool particularly suitable for IT technical support teams. Secure Advisor enables borderless real-time support by allowing IT staff to remotely view, control, and annotate a user’s screen, resulting in reduced IT support costs, improved customer satisfaction, and faster problem resolution. Users can receive immediate support via Secure Advisor without the need for any pre-installed software, making it a quick and simple solution.
Secure Thanks to its highly-secure design, customers can use OpenScape Web Collaboration safe in the knowledge that sensitive or confidential information will not be accessible to non-participants. In particular, it offers password protected sessions, and moderators can see the entire participant list, expel anonymous participants, and even lock the session if required. All sessions are 256-bit AES encrypted to protect them from hackers, and cannot be decrypted on the server – a common weakness with other systems. All sessions are also ‘temporary’ and leave no residual data or make any entries in the registry. Highly scalable Thanks to its cascading server architecture, Unify’s web collaboration solution is highly scalable offering sessions for as many as 1,000 participants. Reliable OpenScape Web Collaboration includes server redundancy and back-up, plus there is no downtime when extending the solution for scalability or redundancy. It also includes a client auto-reconnect feature to automatically reconnect users to a session for up to 30 seconds in the event of a server connection being lost.
Key solution features
Up to 16 audio participants per conference, all listed to provide security overview. Desktop sharing - controlled by the session moderator. Remote control - enables control of the computer to be handed over to others. Application selection - determines which applications are shown.

OpenScape Business Technical strategy Delivering a communications strategy for today’s enterprise Investing in a new communications system can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Crucially, you will need to be clear on your long-term communications strategy in order to make the right choice. Recognising this, Unify has designed OpenScape Business to fullyalign its customers with the latest strategic design principles of a modern communications architecture - IP, native SIP, open services oriented architecture (Open SOA), and virtualisation. In adopting these principles, OpenScape Business provides a ready-made futureproof enterprise communications strategy capable of meeting all your operational needs. An open standards-based architecture Core to OpenScape Business’s technical approach is a full commitment to an open standards-based architecture. This approach means Unify’s solutions can provide maximum flexibility, choice, and cost-effectiveness to its customers. OpenScape Business integrates seamlessly with all industry-standard data networks, servers, and desktop applications, which makes integration straightforward whilst optimising the value of your existing communications equipment. Crucially, an open standardsbased approach also prevents you from being ‘locked-in’ to a single vendor solution, instead allowing you to shop around for best-of-breed applications and services from other suppliers.
Meeting the CIO’s agenda
Provide a secure, reliable and scalable infrastructure. Drive out complexity and risk through a standardised model. Provide common communications services across the enterprise. Centralise core services into strategic data centres. Reduce costs via on-net calling, SIP services, and virtualisation. Provide office, mobile, and home flexibility. Provide a flexible, professional, and robust customer service solution.
OpenScape Business provides a ready-made enterprise communications strategy.

Why IP communications? IP is now the acknowledged global standard in enterprise communications technology. In particular, IP solutions are easy to deploy and manage and do away with the constraints of older, proprietary systems. Suddenly it’s easy to quickly install the necessary technology, activate new users, move employees from one location to another, support virtual and remote workers, install third-party business applications, and adapt to changing circumstances as needed.
Why virtualisation? The OpenScape Business S model and server-based Xmodels have been designed to enable server virtualisation, via Vmware and Hyper-V, which eliminates the old ‘one server, one application’ approach by enabling the flexible sharing of hardware resources. This means reduced hardware and energy consumption costs through a reduction of physical servers. Indeed, some studies show that virtualisation can result in a 70% increase in hardware utilisation and a 30% reduction in energy costs. Other benefits include easy data back-up and restore, enhanced availability and reliability, and improved scalability and monitoring.
The right strategic choice
Why Open SOA? Open SOA improves the reusability of software assets and increases the ability to respond to market and user demands. It accomplishes this by repackaging individual units of functionality into software-based ‘services’ that can be accessed on-demand through open protocols and standards. This Open SOA approach creates organisational flexibility by allowing you to select the exact communications services you want, make them accessible to your users anywhere on your network, and consume them using a license-based pricing model. Why SIP trunking? OpenScape Business is designed to use SIP trunking as its primary connectivity method. SIP trunking is fast becoming the global connectivity standard for enterprise communications and will bring a number of key benefits as follows:
Lower costs. SIP trunking eliminates the need for expensive analogue and digital trunks by allowing the use of SIP communications through an Internet Telephony Service Provider. Greater efficiency. Unlike ISDN PRI’s 8-channel minimum, SIP can be bought one channel at a time to match exact capacity requirements. Moreover, this capacity can be shared across sites and dynamically allocated for either voice or data. Rapid deployment. With less hardware involved, SIP makes connecting parts of an overall communications system very easy thus enabling rapid deployment. Also, ISDN PRI requires a 30-day lead time, whilst SIP channels can be increased via instant remote ‘turn-up’ allowing rapid ‘right-sized’ deployments.
You are not just buying a communications system you are buying into a long-term communications strategy. Significantly, OpenScape Business will align you with all the key strategic developments in communications technology, whilst providing a technical solution capable of meeting your operational requirements for resilience, flexibility, scalability, cost reduction, service improvement, and enhanced productivity. OpenScape’s non-proprietary industry-standard approach will not restrict or limit your future options and allow you to grow and adapt your solution in line with market change. It will bring you all the costsaving benefits of IP telephony, SIP trunking, and virtualisation whilst providing your users, both officebased and mobile, with the latest value-added communications and collaboration applications. Its Open SOA and SIP-based approach also means new capacity can be added by simply acquiring new licences rather than purchasing and installing new hardware, thus enabling ‘right-sized’ service delivery and greater agility. All these attributes make OpenScape Business the right strategic choice for today’s enterprise.
