  7. OfficeReach Single number dialing with multiple landings

  8. OfficeReach in nutshell • Cingular’s OfficeReach is: • A voice-based Virtual Private Network solution for customers that use GSMTM service and devices • A database driven, intelligent platform hosted by Ericsson • Provides enterprise customers a way to control telecom costs and increase employee productivity. Specific features associated with this service include: • Private Numbering Plan – Replicates your existing PBX dialing plan and includes Mobile phone users as part of the organization’s common dialing plan • User Groups - Employees can be assigned to User Groups which are associated with certain common characteristics • Customizable Call Management - Calls may be screened based on various characteristics such as time of day, type of call (on-net, in-Zone, etc.), called or calling party number • Zone billing - Special rates on calls within one geographic campus or building • One Number Service - “Find me/follow me” service with up to 3 numbers that ring sequentially (i.e., desk, mobile, assistant, home, hotel, etc.) in busy and no-answer conditions • Call tracking on bills - Call detail will display abbreviated digits dialed for on-net calls and 10 digits for off-net calls

  9. Key Customer Benefits • Telecom Cost Control • Special rating applies to users while both users arein their Zone • Customizable call restrictions prevent abuse by selectively controlling calls • Increased Employee Productivity • Consolidating voice messages into a single voice mailbox helps employees respond more quickly • Abbreviated Dialing enables short-cut dialing for both desk and mobile phones • Ease of Management • Bills reflect call tracking of OfficeReach calls • End-user management of One Number Service OfficeReach • Improved Employee Accessibility • Customer-facing employees can use One Phone for all calls • One Number Service allows calls to “follow” the employee

  10. City Government Example • Business Challenge: City employees spend the majority of their day within the City Hall and nearby government office buildings. Meetings and other commitments require them to be mobile throughout these buildings during the course of the day. • Operating under a tight budget with strict cost controls in place. • Need to control wireless usage. • Having a way to restrict calling to city-business only • Solution: Cingular’s OfficeReach • Enables the City to better control personal or unauthorized calling by City employees • Reduce the complexity and minimize the amount of phone numbers and extensions users typically need to remember in order to reach someone • By using ONS, City employees can use their office voice mailbox as their primary depository for messages from all callers regardless of whether they call the mobile or PBX number

  11. Public School Bus Driver Example • Business Challenge: Wireless bills seem to fluctuate widely each month and have been steadily increasing since the buses were equipped with phones. • There is high degree of driver misuse of the phones for personal calls. • There is an increased administrative burden to review each driver’s bill and ask for payment for personal calls. • There is a lack of trust between the administrative office and the school bus drivers. Unless they can get costs more in line with the budget and limit the drivers’ calling to business only, they are going to have to remove the phones and go back to radios. • Solution: Cingular’s OfficeReach • Allows the school district to customize calling restrictions for the school bus drivers • Continue to enjoy the benefits they have been experiencing from putting mobile phones on each of their school buses. • Better manage the calling behavior of the drivers and have a defense against unauthorized usage and potential abuse
