 Integrated mobility - with fixed mobile convergence mobile phones are integrated into the call manager, so that employees can enjoy the features usually provided by an office desk phone on their mobile handsets, making them more responsive and reachable via a single number. Productivity enhancing tools - tools such as advanced messaging (for voice mail, fax mail and unified messaging) and call screening enable a more user-centric communications experience. Solidus eCare Lite™ - a specially packaged version of Aastra's multi-media contact center solution for enterprise is offered on the MX-ONE Compact, which can be converted to the full enterprise version with just a license upgrade.
