PABX
System for your business
As a result of recent
technological advances and Telkom deregulation, there are now over
20 PABX suppliers, 18 Telephone Management System supplies, 8 Voice
Mail vendors, and many Cellular phone service providers as well
as numerous licensed PABX maintenance organisations in South Africa.
This may pose the
dilemma as to where or whom do you approach when seeking advice
concerning your telecommunications needs.
Most companies rely
on busy senior management to investigate their telephone requirements,
thus wasting many hours in discussion with a variety of equipment
sales people and or their dealers.
We, at Bridge
Telecommunications, are constantly investigating new
products, comparing after sales service and studying business trends.
Our knowledge of both business requirements and available technology
allow us to form virtual companies made up of leading solution providers
to meet each client’s unique requirements.
With more than 50
years combined technical and marketing experience in the South African
telecommunications industry, we are able to offer a professional
consultancy service. If you are considering acquiring a PABX system
(new or second user), expanding or upgrading your existing equipment,
moving premises, investigating telephone monitoring systems, Voice
Mail, Cellular Routers, or any aspect concerning Telkom liaison
for your telephone services you should consider using our services.
Our approach is:-
- Business Focused
- With maximum
personal contact
- Forming an interactive
partnership with our client and other solution providers
- Very strong service
ethic
- Core values
There are many benefits
attributable to making use of our services and we would welcome
an opportunity to discuss these more fully with you at your earliest
convenience.
Company
Background
Bridge
Telecommunications is the Broker division of Racale Consulting,
which was formed in 1987 to provide assistance to people looking
for telecommunication equipment.
Many large PABX projects
have been completed by our company since then, these have included
both voice and data applications. While the majority of these are
in Durban, a recent local client has been VISTA University – where
we designed a network to link 9 Campuses throughout South Africa.
After a lengthy tender process we selected the vendor and have to-date
arranged and have just completed the project management for the
installation of the first three systems. The balance will be installed
at some time in the future.
Our association with
Telkom is excellent and this special relationship is utilised to
provide the best service possible for our clients.
We offer an objective
and professional consulting service with no fees whatsoever attached
to our service. Advice on any aspect of communications can be provided
including PABX, Voice Mail, Paging, Cellular Routers and Telephone
Management Systems.
Training
In order to maximise
the benefits of the client’s telecommunications investment;
Bridge Telecommunication provides high level training for System
Managers, Attendants and extension users.
Our instructors
and course developers focus on extensive customer input and
feedback, and structure our individualised programs to meet
both general and specific, targeted needs.
Service
Bridge
Telecommunication runs it’s own support company [RACALE PABX
Services] which provides remote support, dispatches technical
assistance and implements escalation procedures.
This
together with our technological superiority, backing of global
technology giants and the passion for service excellence makes

We
realise how mission critical your telephone system is, and our
team is ready to assist and to re-establish your vital communications
links when required. Our service packages can be structured

Telephone
Management Systems
With
the ever-increasing cost of telephone calls, the ability to
manage and control this workplace tool has become of paramount
importance. However, not at the expense of precious time from
managers wading through reams of paper or information.
Our
systems have been developed to provide concise and accurate
management information while offering the facility to drill
down into clearly identified problem areas. In addition we are
able to offer the telephone management of multiple sites without
the fuss and bother generally associated with such systems.
This means that a head office or central site is able to monitor
the telephone usage at all branches while each branch will still
retain the management of their own site if required.
We
can also offer various reports, customised to suit your unique
company requirements, including reports that could provide strategic
information on voice networks and the efficiencies of inter-branch
communications
Telephone
calls are paid directly out of profits, and by using our Telephone
Management Systems, we are able to offer you the latest technology,
including internet enabled application to put money back onto
your bottom-line through effective management of telephone costs,
and maximum benefit from least cost routing.
