Unified Communications

THESEUS Recovery and Rehabilitation Center operates focusing on the rehabilitation of patients who face health or functionality issues and aims at their qualitative reintegration into their prior daily life. THESEAS, through the challenges it faces daily, selected Algosystems’ for the design and implementation of proposals and solutions that would – and still do – support the smooth and seamless operation of the Center.

Needs such as integrated and quality communication with patients/relatives in real time and via video, the ability to remotely diagnose, coordinate and care for chronic patients, uninterrupted communication among executives, administrative services, doctors, nurses inside and outside of the building, the preservation of continuous and unobstructed communication and the possibility of activating additional communication features in the future, according to the Center’s requirements, played a decisive role in the design of the proposed solution. A specialized Cisco Collaboration solution designed and implemented for Theseus, by Algosystems.

With the integrated Cisco Collaboration solution in operation, Theseus now fully meets its everyday operational needs. The modern call center provides full support of the communication needs, while members of the medical, nursing and administration team are in constant collaboration, capable of working remotely from wherever they may be, on specific patient cases, regardless of the means they select (IP Phone, tablet, mobile, and so on) and of course with video capability.

Equally important is the fact that external patients have the ability to communicate with experts in real-time from the comfort of their home, using video collaboration without the use of special devices, since video call can be achieved via any modern mobile phone.

Cisco Collaboration solution, implemented by Algosystems, has effectively helped the day-to-day operation of Theseus, making communication/collaboration faster, safe and efficient, providing a better level of service offered to its customers, increased productivity and reduced operating costs.

Herakles Group’s products – cement, concrete and aggregates – play an essential role in residential development and everyday life as they are used to construct houses, hospitals, bridges, roads and monuments.

Heracles Group has decided to utilize the capabilities of Cisco Unified Communications solutions with Algosystems’ support, aiming at creating a modern telephone network to meet its increased needs, enjoying improved productivity and collaboration among its executives.

More than 800 users at the office buildings, factories and construction sites of Heracles Group and Lafarge Betton are now served by the new telephone network.

INTERAMERICAN, recognizing the great contribution of technology to the improvement of the processes and speed of customer service, has decided, with the cooperation of Algosystems, to take advantage of CISCO Unified Communications solutions, for the redesign of its telephony network.

The implementation includes the creation of a single telephone network based on Cisco Unified Communications (Communication Manager, Unity Connection, Contact Center), UC infrastructure for IM & Presence and Attendant Console, and the implementation of Call Recording solution.

The new network will interconnect all office buildings, branches and MEDIFIRST health clinics of Interamerican.

In total more than 1,500 users are supported as well as 5 contact centers with 125 positions.

The purpose of the Unified Communications solution at the University of Crete implemented by Algosystems was the development of advanced network and telephone infrastructures and services at the buildings of Voutes Campus in Heraklion and Rethymno Campus, to meet the needs of users throughout its premises.

Cisco Switches type 65xx and 45xx were used to implement the network body, while Cisco CallManager was installed in redundant implementation to support IP telephony, serving a total of more than 2,000.

Finally, an extended 802.11g/n wireless access network was installed using 125 Cisco Access Points, centrally managed by Cisco AIR-CT5508 Wireless Network operation controllers.

Generali, aiming to provide high quality services to its customers, commissioned Algosystems to upgrade its telephone network. The new network was implemented using Cisco Unified Communications technology (Communication Manager, Contact Center), UC Infrastructure for IM & Presence, Video Conferencing as well as with the implementation of Call Recording solution. The solution supports users of all main buildings (400 telephone users and 30 contact center users).

The increased voice transmission needs of a large insurance company with many points of presence such as NN Hellas have been efficiently covered by Algosystems using Cisco solutions, offering integration of the telephone services network and data network, resulting in money and management resources savings.

It is worth noting that in 2007, Algosystems has implemented NN HELLAS’ nationwide network of branches.
