Matt, thanks for your input. If you're curious about the click to dial... Our ops team does tons of outbound calling. Numbers are stored in an online database. Users fat finger these into their phones. Time consuming; prone to errors. Want I want is to have our users click the number with their mouse to connect them to that number.
Zultys's UC client has the ability to dial a number by selecting the text and hitting a hotkey, say F12. From any app. So, it's not really that fancy or unique imo. Simple, and I think all UC apps should do this by default. Some require the phone number to be prefix with the tel: hyperlink denotation, which is fine as well, as we maintain/design the database and can re-code it. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

That sounds expensive to me, but some of the features you mentioned are unique. (Especillaly the "Click to Dial" on web pages.) Also I don't know how much of that cost is the installation/training. I've been looking at FortiVoice as a much less expensive solution, recently. Of course, I've been using Shoretel for years, and still recommend them. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Cayze [mailto:sca...@gmail.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 08:53:41 -0800 Subject: RE: Zultus VOIP? > >> What features are you most interested in? > > > > The wonderful feature of low costs and easy implementation :) > > Some others: > > *The ability to allow our users to one-click dial from our custom > built web database.
