NEC Australia has introduced a desktop unified communications client for use with its range of IP PBX products that it says creates "an additional challenge to IBM and Cisco."
The product, the UC700 is billed as "an enterprise-ready, functionally rich software application that allows users to individually customise their communication preferences and presence." NEC claims that the UC700, in conjunction with its other UC products and services gives it "the most complete unified communications offering in the market.
The UC700 client is billed as a complete desktop suite providing: presence management; integration with third party applications with embedded click to call functionality; integration with Microsoft Outlook and IBM Lotus Notes; unified messaging; single-number reach and unified voicemail.
NEC claims to have sold its SV8000 range of IP communications servers to 4500 customers in Australia since its launch 18 months ago. NEC introduced the low end model (700 extensions), the SV8100
in July 2008 . This was followed by high end SV8500 (192,000 extensions)
in February 2009 . NEC also offers the mid rangeSV8300.
