Providence Telecoms introduces UCtel for carriers

Johannesburg, 01 Mar 2013

UCtel is one of Providence Telecoms' key offerings, which is built specifically for scaling and managing a growing telecommunications infrastructure while keeping the costs of such tools to a minimum. The platform combines all the standard services found in a typical communications system with the latest enterprise-grade features, and wraps it all up in one highly distributed and easily accessible platform.

UCtel provides flexible, new generation systems to SMEs, large enterprises, governmental organisations and carriers by unifying the most advanced and leading-edge technologies into a robust and scalable telecommunications solution. Key advanced features include auto updates, system backup, provider templates, call recordings and real-time call/agent monitoring.

"We are developing a unified vision for cloud requirements particularly focused on open, interoperable solutions for secure cloud federation, automation of cloud infrastructure, common management, and transparency of cloud service delivery."

Bring your own device (BYOD): The ability to connect any cellphone, VOIP phone or analogue phone, as the company supports traditional PSTN telephony technologies, allowing for legacy integrations. Users are allowed to connect any of their favourite devices remotely (including existing Polycom, Cisco, Android and other SIP devices) in a truly ubiquitous manner.

Restful APIs: This feature allows third parties to create software to interact with UCtel in order to manage extensions, trunks, DIDs, IVRs,CDRs, routes and tenants using HTTP protocol.

Multi-Tenancy: UCtel offers an unlimited number of tenants, allowing service providers to serve the IP-PBX market with a feature-rich hosted IP-PBX solution. Unlimited resellers, user/company self portal, and LCR are just some of the advanced features included.

Intuitive interface for easy control: This feature is extremely easy to configure with a step-by-step set-up wizard guiding users through the process. Navigating through the system to manage extensions, trunks, or queues is also easy due to a simple drag-and-drop user friendly Web interface. Allowing any user to view, edit and manage their own settings on UCtel without waiting on an IT consultant and syncronising across multiple devices.

Unified communications: UCtel brings together voicemail, instant messaging chat, faxing, SMS, online presence, centre agents, etc, to create a comprehensive unified communications solution for your organisation. This gives Providence customers extended advantage in everyday business life, with vastly improved user productivity and efficiencies.
