Why is ServiceMark Telecom offering Univerge Blue Cloud Phone Systems from NEC?

Univerge Blue Cloud Phone Systems from NEC satisfies ServiceMark’s objection of a lack of concern for quality and reliability of connectivity of other cloud offerings.

 
Quality and Reliability of Connectivity.

ServiceMark has a rich history of installing reliable on-premises NEC phone system to phone service that works close to 99.999% of the time, and we’re concerned about poor call quality over best effort internet connections. After we install a solution, we actually want it to work!

Generally speaking, VoIP cloud providers don’t want to even talk about the quality of connections. For an example, at the time Bruce Gibbs (president of ServiceMark Telecom) was interviewed for a podcast with NEC, Bruce conducted a Google search of “Cloud vs. On Premises Phone Systems”. After reviewing 9 articles that appeared first, there was only brief mention buried in one article about even questioning the quality of a customer’s internet connection as a means of connectivity to the cloud phone service. It appears that other providers are so eager to sell the customer and gobble up market share without doing their due diligence to determine if the service will actually work over the customer’s internet connection. Generally speaking the churn rate of unhappy customers that have tried other cloud providers is unacceptable, and ServiceMark has worked with many of these customers that have had ServiceMark replace their failed cloud experiment.

NEC and ServiceMark’s concern for quality and reliability is different than other cloud providers. NEC won’t even proceed with the installation of the cloud phone system solution until ServiceMark installs a diagnostic tool that measures the quality of a customer’s internet connection as a means of connectivity to NEC’s UNIVERGE BLUE cloud-based telephone system. This diagnostic tool is installed at the customer’s place of business for a minimum of a week while it collects diagnostic information. Information is obtained by the tool placing internet based phone calls from the customer’s premises to NEC’s UNIVERGE BLUE cloud-based telephone system to determine if a customer’s internet connection provides the stability to maintain high call quality. After testing is complete, ServiceMark shares a diagnostic report with the customer. In contrast to other cloud providers, NEC has NO CHURN OF ANY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS that have installed a cloud phone system solution using NEC Cloud Services.
