Desafios

In 2017, MEWA decided to replace its very heterogeneous telecommunications infrastructure with a standardised solution for all locations. The new system would provide a modern working environment, including telephony and Unified Communications functions such as chat, voice mail, and collaboration tools, and be available on-site and remotely.

Ação

MEWA awarded the project to COM plan + service GmbH based on their concept and pilot installation. At the core of the new solution, the cloud-based, high-availability Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX® Enterprise Communications Server was installed in two separate data centres. All 45 locations are connected to this server. Desk phones and softphone clients provide the convenient functions. The robot5 Agent Line Office call centre solution from COM plan + service enables more efficient staff utilisation and flexible call forwarding. The robot5 alarm server facilitates the monitoring of processes in the production plants and industrial laundries through automatic alarming. Implementation will be completed in three phases: Following the pilot system and the server implementation, all twelve locations in Germany were connected in 2018. The solution will be gradually rolled out to the other countries by the end of 2022.
