Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The individual components of Business One are integrated with each other and with the Vodafone network so that, when an employee's fixed number is called both mobile and desk phone ring and the call can be answered from either.
If that person is in the office the call routes as a fixed call via the IP PBX, if outside as a call to a mobile on the Vodafone network.
When the Blackberry is used to make a call from within the office that call routes via WiFi and the IP PBX and displays the caller's fixed line number to the called party. A single voicemail box services both fixed and mobile numbers.
Martin Chadban head of converged products told iTWire that Business One would be offered only in major metropolitan areas. The initial offering is for a single site business only, but he said future plans would include packages for multi-site customers.
Stuart Kane marketing manager for Business One, said that the initial configuration of the system, including porting of numbers from a customers previous suppliers was included at no additional charge under the four year contract, with a mid term review option.
Kane said: "Most of the research we have done shows that PABX have a life of three to five years so it was simple transition to match the voice services to 24 + 24 months."
While the initial expansion plans for 2009 are simply the same package of services for larger businesses, Kane hinted at plans for additional functionality, and the Cisco ISR is designed to support a very wide range of services making it, as iTWire pointed out earlier, an ideal foot in the door from which Vodafone and its channel partners should be able to expand their relationship with small business customers.
