Samsung Digital Communication Systems
OfficeServ 12 / 100 / 500
 
A Powerful Voice and IP Application
Communications now means much more than making and receiving calls.
The Samsung OfficeServ is a truly convergent system that allows you to share voice, data, fax and video over the one IP network while integrating with your computer systems and applications.

In contrast to other IP systems, the Samsung OfficeServ builds on the powerful functionality of the Samsung iDCS range to have the most comprehensive voice application suite you will find as well as advanced IP applications. ISDN, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), IP extensions, home and remote working, DECT cordless technology, Computer Telephony Integration, Call Centre functionality, Integrated Voice Mail, Least Cost Routing (LCR) and the ability to link systems across multiple sites using IP are just some of the capabilities of the Samsung OfficeServ range.

The OfficeServ has the capacity for up to 600 extensions - 360 physical and 240 IP - making it an ideal solution to meet the individual needs of medium and large-sized businesses and organisations.

Samsung OfficeServ supports a range of stylish, easy to use ergonomic digital and IP handsets to provide for each user’s precise needs - from making and receiving calls, forwarding and paging, to simple navigation through the system’s extensive list of features. A key differentiator for the OfficeServ is
the common intuitive “user interface” for both the digital and IP handsets.


Investing today for your future
With a modular architecture that allows cost effective, incremental expansion you can rest assured that your Samsung OfficeServ solution can be upgraded to offer more services as your needs evolve.

At Samsung we think of our customers in terms of a lifetime relationship and this is reflected in Samsung’s design philosophy of a clear migration path for customers with current technology systems. This is evident with the OfficeServ where a high proportion of the current hardware and handsets from the Samsung iDCS systems can be reused with an OfficeServ solution.


Unrivalled Service
Service and support is at the heart of Samsung’s Australian operation. Understanding the importance which communications play in today’s business environment, we offer our customers comprehensive back up and support so that no matter where your organisation is located in Australia, your investment in your Samsung OfficeServ will always be protected.

With offices in all capitals and a network of Authorised Samsung Communications Specialists, there will always be a Samsung expert on hand to correctly determine your communication requirements, train your
staff, maintain your Samsung system to peak performance and expand your system as your organisation grows.

Samsung OfficeServ Functionality




ISDN - faster access to the world of business
ISDN is the most cost-effective way of connecting your telephone system to the outside world. The Samsung OfficeServ range supports Basic Rate and Primary Rate ISDN, allowing you to reap the functionality and cost benefits that ISDN delivers:

  • Enhanced quality - immediate, high-quality connections give you better customer communications
  • Direct Dial In (DDI) - allowing your callers to dial direct to extensions without going via reception, saving valuable time!
  • Video and data networking - the high capacity of ISDN connections enables efficient video conferencing and cost-effective inter-office data transfer, ideal for e-mail and internet access.

So Bus - voice and data networking technology
Samsung’s So Bus technology can be incorporated into your system to link networked equipment - such as PCs and printers - through the OfficeServ to the ISDN connection. This allows LAN users to transmit or receive information over a high-speed link, without the need for an additional ISDN line, and enables dial-in access to the LAN for remote users and employees at other offices.

Each So Bus provides a transmission rate of 128kbit/s, giving fast internet access, video and data communications. Bandwidth can be allocated directly to specific LAN users, or to a pool to be shared by users as and when required.


Trunk to trunk - call divert, transfer and conferencing
With trunk to trunk functionality, calls can be seamlessly and invisibly diverted from your office to a mobile phone or your home number ensuring that you are always in touch - wherever you are. Calls can also be transferred between different offices as easily as to the next desk, overcoming the problem of different departments in different locations.

Conference calls between multiple locations can minimise the time and resource wasted travelling to and from meetings, maximising your efficiency. Up to five extensions or external numbers can take part in a conference call, coming in and out of the conference as necessary.

ISDN - faster access to the world of business



Trunk to trunk - call divert, transfer and conferencing



Caller Identification & Direct Indial - talking numbers
Utilising the power of ISDN technology, the OfficeServ enables you to log and manage multiple incoming Calling Line Identification (CLI) and
Direct Dial In (DDI) numbers.

As well as displaying the number of incoming callers, CLI can also associate incoming telephone numbers with names from your system’s
internal database so that the caller’s name is displayed on the handset, enabling you always to know when your key contacts are calling.
Additionally, a single keystroke will save a caller’s number so that you can easily return their call. You can also review calls to your extension,
allowing you to simply return those calls that you have missed.

Applying DDI functionality allows individual extension numbers to be name tagged and identified by linking the name displayed on the
phone’s LCD screen with the number the caller has dialled.


Auto attendant - a 24 hour receptionist
The auto attendant can answer multiple calls simultaneously, providing different greetings for different departments. External callers are prompted by the auto attendant to enter their choice of destination for direct connection to the correct person, without the need for a receptionist to handle the call. If no extension number is dialled within a specified time, the call is automatically connected to a receptionist, or another specified extension. An ideal solution for busy or out-of-hours periods.


Hot Desking - complete connectivity for roaming staff
If members of your staff often work from different locations or departments within your office, then hot desking can be an invaluable tool. By entering individual access codes, users can move between different desks and even transfer their own personal features - such as access to voicemail, speed dials and pre-programmed functions - to the relevant handset.

For mobile members of staff, or occasions where you need to move a number of people around the office, hot desking is a simple and effective solution that keeps all your staff in touch and in control of their communications.

Hot Desking - complete connectivity for roaming staff



Samsung Voicemail - the ultimate call messaging solution
The Samsung range of voicemail solutions provides advanced call processing features such as voicemail, auto attendant and faxmail to make your business more efficient.

Samsung Voicemail is simple to use and puts the user in control.
At the touch of a button each user can, for example, record their own personal greeting; screen calls before choosing to answer them; record and send messages to a group; and record personal reminders or even conversations.

However, Samsung Voicemail offers much more. Message waiting indication ensures that users are immediately aware that messages are pending with each message 'stamped' with the date and time it was left and the number of the person who called. The system's auto forward
feature also ensures that if messages aren't accessed within a specified time they can be forwarded to a designated extension.


Unified Messaging
Unified Messaging gives you the ultimate desktop tools to manage call traffic and customise your messaging environment. Whether you’re on
the road or in the office, you can easily receive, respond to, route, transfer and forward voice, emails and fax messages.

With Unified Messaging, your staff can simply access and manage voice, email and fax messages all from their PC inbox, using great features like:

  • Forwarding voice mail messages, with additional text, via e-mail (as .wav attachments)
  • Viewing fax attachments on-screen.
  • Use of standard Inbox features to manage and file voice mail and fax mail messages.
Samsung Voicemail - the ultimate call messaging solution




Wireless Mobility - the freedom of wireless technology
Samsung wireless mobility solutions takes office telephony into new areas, giving your staff complete freedom to move around the office, while still being able to take and make calls.

With interruption free handover between base stations, your staff can roam over large industrial, retail office or hospitality complexes and remain in constant contact and manage their calls from anywhere in the building or site.

Samsung mobility solutions now provide the option of either DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephony) wireless voice technology or Wireless IP (based on industry standard 802.11b) for wireless voice and data mobility.










Least Cost Routing
The Samsung OfficeServ Least Cost Routing feature provides your business with an automatic mechanism for saving money on your communication costs. LCR automatically selects the appropriate outside line for the number dialled by any of your staff members. The comprehensive least cost routing functionality can choose from up to 16 different call providers ensuring the cheapest route is chosen for each call your staff makes.










Text Messaging - easy as ABC
The OfficeServ can also allow pre-programmed messages to be sent and displayed on the LCD screen of display keyphones so that agents or their supervisors can continue to communicate whilst involved in a call. In addition, individual operators can also leave their terminals with a station message so that any internal caller receives a text message showing the status of the
operator (e.g. out to lunch, on holiday, send to voicemail, etc.)



Samsung Hotel - hospitality solutions for you and your guests
The Samsung OfficeServ is available with a range of software applications, designed specifically for the hospitality sector, providing an integrated solution for hotels, guest houses, nursing
homes and halls of residence.

The Samsung hospitality software applications can meet the needs of most establishments, no matter their size or complexity. The Samsung hospitality software can also be linked to your existing front-of-house system.

OfficeServ Operator solutions - professional call control
First impressions count. So it is imperative that incoming calls are managed as professionally and efficiently as possible by your front line staff. That’s why Samsung has developed PC-based operator solutions that make handling high volume call traffic as smooth and simple as possible.

Samsung OfficeServ Operator solutions are fully integrated with your voice and data infrastructure to maximise the responsiveness of customers’ first point of contact with your organisation.

With the simplicity of ‘point and click’ operation, or using the optional console keyboard, incoming and internal calls can be more effectively managed to their final destination using a variety of features including:

  • Busy lamp field indication - to quickly view the status of each extension on the system
  • Extension information - displaying details of diverts set and their destination
  • Departmental queues - to help organise call traffic more efficiently and distribute calls to other operators
  • Conference call set up - initiated by the operator in an instant
  • Notes facility - a simple message can be added as a reminder before returning to a waiting caller and placing them through.

Providing the advanced functionality of the OfficeServ through the user’s PC, OfficeServ Operator solutions are essential for people who manage high volumes of calls, and an invaluable application for any busy office.

OfficeServ Operator solutions - professional call control



Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) - sophisticated call handling for any office
The unique integral ACD package, provided as a standard feature to all OfficeServ users, offers any working environment the opportunity to optimise the service incoming callers receive and maximise the efficiency of staff.

Calls can be distributed intelligently - using first in first out (FIFO) rules - to the first available agent within the group. This can minimise the length of time before a call is answered and ensure you keep an even flow of call traffic to all members of a group. If no extensions are free, the call
can be held in a queue, while automated messages reassure them of prompt attention as soon as the next call handler becomes available.

The OfficeServ can cater for up to 30 groups - each with a maximum of 48 agents, allowing agents to be members of multiple groups and time to complete administration before accepting the next call.

The OfficeServ can also provide incoming call statistics for a group or extension via the LCD of a display handset, giving supervisors a simple snap-shot of call traffic and activity to evaluate the performance of groups and agents for example:

  • Calls in queue
  • Waiting time
  • Agent status
  • Average queuing time
  • Total incoming calls received.

This functionality is ideal for those departments that operate as an incoming call centre with groups or teams of operators with their own terminals - such as your accounts department, sales desk or response centre.

In addition the OfficeServ can also be configured to operate within up to six time zones so that callers receive an appropriate response and are then routed to the correct destination depending on the time of day, week or year they call.

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) - sophisticated call handling for any office





Call Centre software
If your organisation has a call centre, or a busy sales or service department, Samsung’s call analysis software provides you with a powerful tool to improve the level of service to your customers, improving productivity and resource allocation.

Up to the minute, key call details can be displayed on discreet, desktop display or optional wallboards to provide all staff with an easy-to-view summary of performance parameters for groups, extensions or DDI numbers - for example:

  • Total calls received, waiting, answered or lost
  • Current longest waiting call time
  • Average and longest queuing time
  • Individual agent call handling activity
  • Average ring time before calls are answered
  • Average service time after answering
  • Warning alarms set against call criteria

For more sophisticated call centre requirements, the OfficeServ integrates with a range of call centre software applications. Consisting of modules, that can work independently or as an entity to provide a high level of call centre functionality, including skills based and intelligent call routing, hot desking, multiple queues, agent screens, remote agents, real time and historical reporting. Providing a complete call centre solution for inbound, outbound and web enabled call centres.












Call management software and account coding
OfficeServ easily integrates with Call management software, providing comprehensive historical and real-time reporting of call information.

Through detailed management reports, group and extension activity can be analysed to provide a thorough evaluation of call traffic, ensuring that you make the most of your communications resources throughout the day.

And to help you identify how your system is being used, departmental groups and operators can enter specific codes for incoming and outgoing calls to facilitate future analysis.

Coding allows you to allocate certain calls into groups or accounts so that the OfficeServ can provide a precise breakdown of calls made and relative costs chargeable for each individual account. An ideal feature for internal departments who make and receive calls on behalf of third parties

Samsung OfficeServ CTI Suite - Get smart with your PC
Voice and data communications have never been more important to your success and with barriers between telephony and IT being constantly eroded, the OfficeServ has been designed to maximise
the benefits of Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) technology.

The OfficeServ CTI application suite consists of a range of CTI applications designed to enhance the functionality and usability of the Samsung OfficeServ telephone system. Simple-to-use, the
Samsung CTI application suite will improve the operation of almost any organisation.

Supplied as standard with all new Samsung OfficeServ systems, the OfficeServ CTI application suite consists of the following applications.

  • OfficeServ Link – logical link for easy set-up of Samsung CTI applications.
  • OfficeServ Call – pc desktop telephony
  • OfficeServ Manager – simple system management
  • OfficeServ EasySet – personal extension manager


Samsung OfficeServ CTI Suite - Get smart with your PC
Samsung OfficeServ systems are also Microsoft TAPI compliant, and therefore compatible with a wide range of industry standard CTI applications.

No other phone system brings the benefits of CTI as cost-effectively, or as easily, as the OfficeServ. It simplifies CTI so that almost any organisation can experience its benefits - either individually or across your network so that your whole office can communicate more efficiently.
OfficeServ Call – desktop telephony at the click of a mouse

OfficeServ Call is an advanced desktop telephone application that enables Samsung OfficeServ users to access telephony features from their PC desktop. With OfficeServ call you can dial directly from your preferred PC directory, (for instance, Microsoft Outlook) and have incoming calls automatically“screen pop” the appropriate customer record based on caller ID information.

Functions such as on-screen dialling, call forwarding, tele-conferencing and speed dialling are all accessible at the click of a mouse.




OfficeServ Manager – simple system management
The OfficeServ puts you in control by allowing you easy management of your telephone resources using its windows based administration application. No longer do you have to call your telephone hardware provider to make simple every day changes to your telephone system.

The Samsung OfficeServ range systems also provide a comprehensive variety of management data, including cost reports and full details of inbound and outbound calls. Systems can be programmed to restrict certain types of calls (eg. premium rate, mobile or international numbers), helping to eliminate unauthorised telephone use and minimising bills. Reports on telephone usage can be generated which can be used to monitor your system and fine-tune the way it is used by staff. A well-configured phone system will streamline communications and reduce overall costs.

And to ensure you have back up support when you need it, systems may be remotely programmed, upgraded and diagnosed via modem to ensure that your system is in optimum condition at all times, without the need for an engineer to visit your office. Remote diagnostics and management guarantees you the best back up support no matter where your organisation is located.

OfficeServ EasySet - your personal extension manager
Samsung makes it as easy for each user to take control of their communications and utilise the full breadth of functions and features the OfficeServ has to offer. EasySet is a windows-based application that empowers each user to manage their own extensions set up for features like call forwarding, diverts, speed dials and messaging.

By facilitating this process through a user-friendly browser on their PC users can not only learn more about the capabilities of the system but also improve the way the system works for them, enhancing efficiency and staff productivity.

Get connected - converged network solutions
The true power of the OfficeServ lies in its enhanced networking technology, offering your organisation a range of powerful options to link systems, share functionality, and exploit your existing data infrastructure.


Branching out with IP telephony
The internet is transforming the way we all operate, opening up a whole world of information and opportunities. The OfficeServ is at the forefront of
this communications revolution, creating more effective applications with converged Internet Protocol (IP) technologies and reducing the ongoing
costs of call traffic between linked sites.

Voice over IP (VoIP) vastly reduces communication costs by encoding your telephone and fax calls into Internet Protocol then routing them in the same way that data is sent - utilising spare bandwidth on existing data links.

However, OfficeServ IP solutions can offer much more than purely cost benefits. Using IP protocols including H.323, G.711 and SIP, the OfficeServ
builds applications that share and can utilise the full functionality offered by the system whether it is an individual handset or an entirely separate office, creating one central solution that reaches every user.

With the ability to easily connect individuals and groups to the OfficeServ through any data connection in any location OfficeServ makes home, branch and multi-site working a simple reality.
Get connected - converged network solutions
Branching out with IP telephony



OfficeServ IP handsets
The OfficeServ IP revolution provides opportunities beyond the traditional barriers of internal business communications. IP handsets can be connected to the OfficeServ via a LAN/WAN network, and can also be connected via external data links, such as DSL - liberating you and your staff from the rigidity of the conventional corporate infrastructure. For example, previously isolated individuals and departments working from home or satellite offices, regardless of distance, can become fully inclusive members of the internal communications system, with exactly the same handset functionality as an internal digital handset.

Samsung has continued their focus on a “user friendly” interface with its IP handsets which operate in exactly the same way as the digital handset range. Aside from your staff finding it easier to access the full power of your Samsung system, a standard user operating environment for both IP and digital handsets reduces time and resources for staff training.

Based on the industry standard 802.11b, Samsung's Wireless Voice and Data Solution expands the horizons of traditional office mobility. With Samsung Wireless IP handsets staff can be totally free to work around the office without having to sit at an allocated desk, they can send and receive data, connect to the internet and make normal voice calls. This solution provides a truly mobile office.

OfficeServ IP handsets OfficeServ IP handsets



Multi-site Networking - Seamless integration
For Multi site environments, the OfficeServ uses Samsung Proprietary IP Networking which enables up to 50 OfficeServ systems to be networked across multiple locations over data connections (WAN) to create a high level of feature transparency.

Using multi-site networking, incoming calls can be routed between sites, for example a branch network across a region or territory. This enhances the customer service provided to incoming callers, with their calls being forwarded seamlessly to the nearest office and managed oppropriately based on the CLI and DDI information.

Samsung networking also allows all users to benefit from the cost effective sharing of selected features across the network. They can access centralised functionality - from simple call forwarding and transfers to advanced features such as centralised operator services, voice mail, automated attendant and ACD across connected sites.
