Yeastar P-Series PBX System ambassador

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Yeastar P-Series PBX System as our PBX, contact center, call recording and reporting. It is also integrated with Zoho CRM to maximize the contact center experience.

Linkus softphone is great, from PC, Mac and mobile. Providing mobility and maximizing security, because Yeastar P-Series PBX System provides an SBC in the cloud service to make a tunnel to the PBX, no need to expose the PBX to the internet.

Pros

  • Mobility
  • Contact Center
  • live wallboards
  • reporting
  • integrations, Zoho crm, zoho helpdesk, whatsapp etc..

Cons

  • AI transcriptions and summarize calls and meetings
  • VPN and/or SDwan services to access the PBX
  • More flexibility on the license. It is based only on the number of seats: 100, 200, 300, and more. It is not established by simultaneous calls. You should be able to purchase extra licenses by smaller packages.

Return on Investment

  • Cloud-based deployment, no hardware required.
  • Yearly renew licenses, with great support included.
  • Instant reports and wallboards of contact center activity are great for immediate responses and assure better quality of service to our customers.

Yeastar P-Series PBX System: the fully featured and flexible phone system

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Yeastar P-Series PBX System is my system of choice for my customers. It gets deployed as an appliance on site, as software on their own server or as software in a data centre.

The system is very fully featured and is constantly being developed with over 6 free firmware updates last year. Since the system itself is licensed it is nice not to be constrained by various licenses such as in the case of Avaya.

A system can start out very small and simple and grow as business needs change. As an example, a customer started at 25 extensions in late 2021 and now has almost 80 across 3 sites. We have added all manner of functionality and it was all included in the license. It was fortunate that appliances were unavailable so we installed a Software Edition for them with expandability. Due to the multisite nature of the business we will be migrating them to the cloud for greater resilience.

Pros

  • Remote users
  • Queuing
  • Deployment options
  • Handset compatibility

Cons

  • SMS could be developed a bit further to allow groups to access the queue and for system contacts to be used as recipients

Return on Investment

  • Very positive. We can offer a top tier phone system with a variety of deployment options. People still like having a box on site and it is a cheaper option than cloud.
  • Business was declining while still offering Avaya. In my opinion, it is very expensive and severely lacking in features in comparison

Excellent and saving cost UC Platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We installed Yeastar P-Series in our company 3 years ago and it has been a great solution for our hybrid work allowing us to keep the communication with our clients and coworkers in any place , and beside taking advantage of the MS Teams integration we did to use only one application in the PC.

Pros

  • Voice quality for remote users using Linkus app in smartphones or PC
  • Contact center features and reports to analyze the performance
  • Integration with different platforms such as CRM and Microsoft apps

Cons

  • I hope Yeastar release soon features for outbound call center such as automatic dialer to make campaigns
  • For the integrations with MS Teams it would be desirable not require the Linkus app running in the background

Return on Investment

  • Yeastar PBX has allows us to improve our reachability from our customers to our office numbers , thanks to all the possibilities of connection now we have a rate of 99% in terms of contractability.
  • With the call recording feature now, we can analyze and improve the attention of our sales teams with our customers

Favorite tool for tomorrow's communications

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Compelling event: With exponential growth in our client's staff and services, it was imminent to find a solution that can cater to current and future needs without sacrificing any modern telephony feature. Such as mobility, address book management, call recording, link to CRM, and traceability of calls.Most of all with an availability grade of 99.99 % Solution: After careful consideration of the client's requirement, The Yeastar P series cloud, hosted in our data center, was the best fit that can meet and exceed current and future needs. Mostly ease of use, fast deployment, and its modern and intuitive GUI. Extra: Yeastar demonstrated a great sense of partnership by exceeding the customer's expectation in developing 2 add-ons, specially requested by the client. Yeastar team did a great job in the migration phase went very fast and smoothly. Special thanks to the team led by Lena, Ann, and Pixy. The actual size of the Client base is 800 extensions and over 600 DID and 250 concurrent calls

Pros

  • User workspace
  • Linkus
  • Call recording
  • blacklist over 100000 entry (Special feature developed by yeastar)
  • Whitelist exception override (Special feature developed by yeastar)
  • Client management and address book management

Cons

  • With the recent software release there is hardly nothing to mention
  • there was a feature missing such as Call monitoring , however solved with an upgrade

Most Important Features

  • AMI that connects to CRM
  • Recordings
  • Linkus
  • Client Management

Return on Investment

  • It is not always a question of return on investment. Mostly about flexibility, accessibility, and reliability
  • In our case there was no ROI question, in fact, the client ended up paying more in cloud renting than having it on-premise
  • The client had many obligations regarding ease of use (Linkus), managing space for call recording, and the blacklist of outgoing calls towards specific numbers. That was not easily possible with on-premise point 1 above to be met.
