조치

WEHI approached ALE to help integrate the ALE telephony environment with Microsoft Teams, to create a seamless user experience for their staff, regardless of location. ALE proposed the Microsoft Teams Connector solution, with the Rainbow by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise platform. After rigorous testing, WEHI selected the easy to deploy, cost-effective solution to enable their flexible worker solution.

In this scenario WEHI’s existing Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server was connected, using Rainbow, with Microsoft Teams. This is a great option for Microsoft Teams users who want to use their existing telephony platform to unlock telephony from their desktop. The solution ensures high reliability and rich features. It also provides the essential PSTN connectivity into Microsoft Teams without complexity, at a low cost and enriched user experience.

해결 과제

WEHI uphold the highest standards and their medical research has led to healthcare breakthroughs that most of us benefit from, every day. At Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise we are very proud to have been the technology partner of choice for many years for WEHI’s mission-critical telephony and communications environment. During the pandemic WEHI and ALE collaborated closely to enable flexible, remote working, from anywhere. The lockdown directives also saw the rapid uptake of cloud collaboration applications such as Microsoft Teams within WEHI. Challenges encountered during this period included:

Incorporating a new site requiring desk sharing
Adapting existing sites requiring desktop collaboration
Support for desktop user interfaces for Mac users (95%) and Windows (5%) users with telephony integration
Integrating mission-critical telephony into cloud collaboration apps
Using desktop to call mobiles and land lines cost-effectively
