A few of the features include:
- Dynamic Extension Express that allows a user to set up their mobile phone like an extension of the phone system, allowing for calls accepted on the cellular device to transfer, hold and conference as they would from their desk phone.
- A “Meet Me Conference” can be scheduled ahead of time, and users can call into the conference phone number or extension at the designated time.
- Hot Desking, a feature that allows sharing of a telephone by multiple users, such as shift workers. When a user needs to sit down to work, they log into the phone of choice and all of the programming and voicemail associated with that user is displayed on that handset.
- UVM Email Synchronization provides voicemail to email feature synchronization, with an approved email platform such as Exchange or Google.
- Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) SIP Device Support– This improvement provides the Mitel Phone Manager softphone client the ability to be set up as a contact center agent and answer incoming calls as part of an ACD hunt group. This feature is the perfect solution for customers looking for a softphone client for their agents either in the office or working from a remote location.
- SIP Device Security– As SIP devices are becoming more popular on the network, Mitel saw a need to provide stronger password format in this newest release.
- Multimedia Integration– Release 6.1 is the beginning of a new initiative to integrate voice with video in the MiVoice Office 250. As this technology continues to become more affordable, it is being pushed down to the Small Medium Business (SMB) sector. The first step has been to support the MiVoice Video Phone. Mitel’s intention isn’t to provide the video in this scenario, but to provide the integration of the voice for existing innovative video solutions. The first step with enhancements expected to continue due to the H.264 High Profile (HP) codec. The H.264 HP has an algorithm that provides better image quality while utilizing lower bandwidth. Multimedia Integration opens up new opportunities for video solution providers for new or enhanced products and for the SMB market to provide video solutions that will be more cost-effective.
