Wildix HWaaS: Your Stress-Free, As-A-Service Solution There is no more need for you to worry about the capital expense of purchasing new devices at the start or having to find the funds to replace them when they break or become outdated. • The PBX (brains of the Wildix system) is off-site, secure in the cloud, and protected from on-site vandalism or mishaps. • The administrator can select the right extension license for each user as needed - saving money and increasing productivity. The level of extension license that provides the user with specific functionality and rights can be adjusted up or down as a staff member’s needs change. • Your user hardware such as phones and wireless headsets are fully covered - no warranty paperwork to fill out or run out. If something breaks because of misuse, vandalism, or any kind of accident it is simply replaced at no charge…Or maybe a user wants to switch from a desk phone to a headset; not a problem - it can be swapped out at no charge. 27 Meridian Ct. Suite 111 - Kalispell, MT 59901 | 406-752-7775 | www.dcsmt.com Page 6 of 11 DCS Sales Engineer: Mendee McKeehan // mendee@dcsmt.com // 406-890-6123 Wildix System Design and Implementation DCS uses a tried and true tested template for all our new systems to insure a smooth install and warming period. The system is entirely spun up in the DCS office with all phones provisioned and tested before the phones are installed at the customer’s site. The install can take place on one scheduled day or progressively overtime. This involves adding the Wildix Collaboration Google extension on computers, loading the free Collaboration app on mobile devices, and finally connecting desk phones and headsets. The hardware can be added last because the user’s extension lives online. Once the end user has Collaboration up and running, they can begin their training and start making business calls. A Brief History of Wildix Wildix is a global company operating in telecommunications and specializing in Voice over IP (VoIP) products. The company creates and develops Unified Communications and CEBP (Communication-Enabled Business Process) applications. Wildix started in 2003 as the innovation of Steve and Dimitri Osler. The brothers wanted a way to combine their expertise into a telephony system that was easy to access, configure, and deploy. The duo created a solution as intuitive as a web browser. Already, the two brothers had designed a PBX system for a friend running a business with around 70 employees, so the next step forward seemed clear. Since then Wildix successfully developed a full WebRTC unified communications platform, with a vast collection of collaboration functions that can host up to 50,000 users on one PBX. Thanks to browser-to-browser communication (WebRTC), it doesn’t matter what sort of technology the people outside of an organization are using. Anyone can connect to the Wildix platform and have a rich communications experience. Your New Unified Communication System: In Four Easy Steps 1.
