“We would recommend Panasonic to anyone who is looking for a great, feature-rich, robust and reliable business telephone system at a fantastic price point.”
– Scott Savage, IT & Systems Manager, Conrad Gargett
THE CHALLENGE
Legacy communication systems could not keep up with evolving and changing needs, was not upgradable to SIP or easily expandable, lacked state-of-the-art functions, and was incurring high monthly charges.
THE SOLUTION
Panasonic’s KX-NS700 compact hybrid system integrated under the KX-NS1000 communication platform handled both present needs and also allowed for future expansion at two additional sites, provided enhanced mobility for those in remote locations, and slashed overall telecommunications bills by over 60%.
THE IMPLEMENTATION
In consultation with Com2 Communications, Conrad Gargett selected a Panasonic KX-NS700 compact hybrid system integrated under the Panasonic KX-NS1000 communication platform and supported by 132 feature-rich and durable Panasonic handsets.
Within four weeks, Com2 organised fibre, SIP, voice porting and system delivery to a Conrad Gargett site under construction, and completed actual deployment in just four days.
“With such a user friendly system, our general work day has gotten much easier. With only one training session, our staff are using the system for all of the things that we needed it to do.”
– Scott Savage, IT & Systems Manager, Conrad Gargett
