Challenges

  • The EWE Group wanted a solution to the technical difficulties and phone outages caused by its aging and complex network infrastructure. It was also looking to generate important cost savings.
  • The 250 Private Branch Exchanges (PBX) in service, few of which were IP based, came from different vendors and presented interoperability problems. Finding staff with the know-how to manage the many systems had become expensive and difficult.
  • As an energy company, EWE needed to support its teams in remote locations. It was critical that the solution offers high availability, ensure business continuity, and connect to analog radio stations.
