1 KIPCOM Limited Contrex Service Description

2 CONTREX Contrex represents a new generation of communications platform. This new generation of PABX s is often referred to as an IP based PABX. The 'IP' refers to the fact that they use the same Internet Protocol (IP) that you use when surfing the internet or sending an . The most obvious indication of this new generation is that using an IP based PABX allows you to make phone calls over the Internet as well as over the traditional Public Switched Telecommunications Network PSTN (i.e. BT). Making a phone call over the Internet is referred to as Voice over IP or more commonly by the acronym VoIP. When upgrading to Contrex, you will find that it supports your existing phone system requirements, plus a host of new features. Low cost calls are only the beginning of the benefits of Contrex. FEATURES With Contrex, the core feature set is extensive. With Contrex, you no longer have to compromise. Features such as voic and auto attendant which previously were only available to large corporations, are now available to every business. BENEFITS The real strength of Contrex is in the benefits it delivers to your business. One of the major problems we see business's face is that their phone system leaves their clients with a negative view or impression of their company. The right telephone system will leave your clients with the impression that they are dealing with a sophisticated organisation that is going to service their needs. The advantage of Contrex is that it immediately makes your company stand out and look professional at all times. With features such as voic , customisable business messages on hold and roaming extensions, your clients will realise they are important to you and can be assured that they will always receive quality service. SAVINGS ON LINE COSTS Another benefit of Contrex is the savings on line costs. When you start making calls using Contrex using VoIP, most organisations will find that their PSTN lines are redundant. UNIFIED MESSAGING - FAX, VOIC AND Contrex provides the ability to have all of your messages delivered to your inbox. Voic Fax - Contrex can be configured to deliver any voic s directly to your client. Just click on the message and you can listen to your voic directly from your computer. - By adding a personal fax, Contrex is able to receive facsimiles directly to and from your existing client.

3 With Contrex all your messages arrive at a single location which makes life so much simpler. With a fax server, you no longer need a private fax number for receiving sensitive documents as the documents can be delivered directly to your inbox using 'Direct Dialing In' (DDI) where each employee has their own private fax number. LOW COST ACCESS TO ADVANCED TELEPHONE FEATURES. As Contrex is a new generation telephone system, it delivers new price points on standard features which make them affordable to even small business, while adding new advanced features. Previously, features such as auto attendant, call recording and voic were only available in highend PABX s. With Contrex, the same set of features are delivered to every customer, which means that even small businesses get access to the same advanced features as large corporations. MOBILITY With Contrex the definition of a telephone extension has changed. A telephone extension is no longer a fixed device at a fixed location. Employees working from home or on the move can now make phone calls to office extensions (or anywhere else for that matter) as if they were sitting at their desk in the office. The inverse is also true; Contrex can be configured so that it knows where you are and routes incoming calls to you no matter where you are. Travelling staff can pack a VoIP handset (which can be as small as a Bluetooth headset when used in conjunction with a laptop) and make calls from anywhere that a fixed or WiFi broadband internet connection is available. ADVANCED BILLING AND CALL ACCOUNTING SERVICES Contrex offers call logging at user and supervisor level so that you can keep track of each call made including source and destination number, duration etc. This can be used to track call usage of different departments. FREE INTER-OFFICE CALLS The configuration of Contrex allows a company with multiple branches to connect all of their staff to one central PABX. This means that it s very easy to connect multiple offices and route calls between them. Add a reliable IP Connection at each end and you can start making free calls between offices even if they are located nationally or internationally. SCALABILITY Contrex technology scales from small offices with 1 phone, to large scale enterprises with thousands of phones spread across the globe. This is especially important when you start talking about integrating your business systems with your PABX using Computer Technology Integration (CTI). The same Contrex technology can be used whether you are a small 5 employee business or a global enterprise, system compatibility will be maintained as your business grows.

Contrex also operates with standards based (SIP) phones so you can choose the type of phone that best suits your business operation. You can mix and match phones from multiple vendors such as Cisco, Yealink and Snom to name a few.
