Cisco Hosted Unified Communications Services vs. OpenText CX-E Voice

It is well suited for: Clients with call managers that want to continue using Cisco and want to minimize the new CAPEX. Clients that want to outsource the platform management and support. Clients that have a variation on the number of extensions. Although, Cisco HCS, is a solution that has a higher opex than the ones supported in ISP IP Centrex.

Cisco HCS platform is to be seen as a centralized UC platforms, that can be scalable as an IP Centrex solution and as rich in functionalities as a Cisco CUCM.

We choosed OpenText TeamQ instead of acmatel CCS because of its simple nature. Acmatel CCS was having limited feature with call tracking support. Also, OpenText TeamQ is one of the better tool when you consider the fact of consistency in calling support. I am totally grateful that I had choosen this tool for our business demand.
