Applications

The Enhanced Conference Bridge by Toshiba -Strata Meeting

If you rely on outside services to host conference calls or if you want to enhance your conference calling capabillity, Strata-Meeting- The Enhanced Conference Bridge- is a prime application that integrates with the Strata CIX™ business communication system.

Some of the Useful Functions and Advantages:

  1. Reservationless and Scheduled Meet-Me Conferencing—enables conferences to start quickly and can be organized easily and flexibly.
  2. Outlook Calendar Integration—allows meetings to be easily scheduled and invitations distributed to all participants.
  3. Web User Interface for Moderators—enables moderators to schedule conferences
  4. Conference View Feature—shows moderators who’s in their conference and enables the management of individual participants
  5. Web-based Reporting—enables managers to have a view into the impact of audio conferences in their business.
  6. Audio Recording Capabilities—enables audio conferences to be recorded for later playback or archived for record retention.
  7. Flexible Configuration From 8 to 24 Ports—provides cost-effective small conferencing systems for small and medium size businesses with room to grow and expand.


Strata-Meeting is a "meet-me" conference bridge. This means that there's no "controlling party"- no one has to set up a conference and no one even needs to be inside the office.

Enter a conference using a Toshiba telephone set by:

- Calling a special extension number

- Pressing a pre-programmed key on your phone

- Clicking a pre-programmed virtual key on your Toshiba "Net Phone" interface

Outside callers can enter the conference by:

- Being transferred into the meeting by another extension

- Entering a special PIN number when answered by the automated attendant

- Calling a special Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number

A big benefit is the ability to exit and re-enter the conference call in the event you're called away from the meeting or need to take another call. Often times with traditional outside conference calling, if a party hangs up, they're disconnected and must be brought back in by the "set-up" person. If you're the "set-up" person and you disconnect, all outside parties are dropped. With a conference bridge, since there is no controlling party, no one is disconnected and re-entering the meeting is possible. "Rooms" can be easily scheduled and locked (for security). Many clients have found that in addition to the sheer convenience of an on-demand conference bridge, hosting their own meetings subsidizes the cost of the unit.  

Strata-meeting can be installed on any Toshiba CIX system with software Version 5 or above. Contact your GCC Account Executive for more information and pricing for Strata-Meeting or any other telecom application. Call us today at (781) 756-5100 or email info@generalcom.com for more information.

•  Network Automatic Call Distribution - enhances multi-site contact centers enabling them

    to work together as one integrated call routing system. Allows  contact centers to distribute

    agents over the network and route calls to available agents on any CIX system on the

    network. Network ACD provides look ahead routing to check the status of agents in other     nodes before it routes the call to those agents. The MIS reports include agents and calls

    over the network. It also extends the functionality of Net Phone over the network to

    support features such as Network DSS/BLF and/or Chat between users in multiple nodes.

•  Multimedia Web Callback - enables online customers to initiate a “call-me-back” request by

    providing their name and phone number on a company’s website. When a company’s

    contact center representative becomes available, this Strata ACD application then

    automatically calls the customer. Enabling customers another method of accessing a

    company’s contact center, this application can provide better customer service, can reduce

    contact center hold times and can help reduce companies’ contact center operation costs.     The Web Callback service easily integrates with a customer’s existing web pages. This

    tools, auto reports, and more using any of several PC-based

    reporting solutions that are ideal for use with ACD

    applications. On-line displays and reports are an important addition to ACD, to provide

    enhanced supervisory monitoring of ACD activity. You can view screen displays and generate

    printed reports on call statistics and agent performance.

•  Call Router - optimizes your business’ communications and

    customer interactions. Your customers want to spend as     little time waiting and go through as few steps as possible

    when they call your business. You want to minimize call times

    to keep your telephone bills as low as possible. With Call

    Router, your business rules combine with specific caller

    information to deliver calls to the appropriate destination

    within your organization.  Call Router uses caller information,

    or automated application to improve service and satisfaction while minimizing call times. Also

    includes screen pops and call archiving.

•  Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) - combines the capabilities of the Strata CIX

    phone system with custom functionality provided by computer applications. This leverages

    the power of both devices to bring a more effective tool to the desktop.

•  Chat/Instant Messaging - Chat is an instant messaging tool that can be

   purchased as a standalone product or as a standard feature of Net Phone.

   Chat is a great tool for getting a message to someone when they are busy on

   the phone or to get information in a less intrusive manner than calling the

   person.

•  Net Phone - manages incoming and outgoing call functions and synchronizes

   with a company’s operations, CRM or contact software. When a phone call

   comes in, Net Phone triggers the software’s database and automatically

   launches (pops-up) the caller’s corresponding contact information.
