For four decades, Roland has set the global standards in music technology, and markets its products under a number of other brand names such as BOSS and Cakewalk. The phones are always busy at Roland. From development to sales and support, communications is critical to the success of their business and its customers. Roland had been using a 3Com VCX phone system, yet the music company desired envisioned a more effective solution. With a lack of ongoing technical and product support and limited software integration, Roland needed to reduce the costs, complexities and risks of its business communications system. To provide a comprehensive platform for integrating Roland's busy call center and business applications, Roland selected a ShoreTel UC Solution and ShoreTel Contact Center. Thus far the benefits include: -- Easy transition from discontinued 3Com VCX system to all-in-one UC -- Robust, flexible contact center solution for better service and productivity -- Simpler configuration and management for savings in administrative resources -- Flexibility for seamless integrations and trouble-free collaboration -- High availability VoIP with distributed architecture and simpler design "We chose ShoreTel for its functionality, excellent phone quality, its flexible and reliable architecture, and the lowest TCO.
