Chapter 19 Voice Messaging Systems

Voice Mail Integration

Voice mail allows callers to leave a recorded message, in their own voice and exact words, for
another individual or group of individuals. With a voice mail application, people can
communicate precisely and personally without having to be on the same telephone line at the
same time. Voice mail applications allow communication to take place without endless games
of telephone tag. Research has shown that only one-third of all business calls achieve direct
contact, yet 40% of all messages are one way messages that do not require dialogue. Voice
mail saves time by allowing you to leave a message immediately. Voice mail bypasses the
problems of time zones, after-switchboard hours, and other obstacles to communication in this
fast-paced business world. Voice mail allows the people in your office to better manage their
communications and time.
Voice mail features can be used by accessing the VMS directly from an extension. If a station
sets its call forwarding destination to the VMS, calls to this station are connected to the VMS,
and the messages can be registered according to the VMS instruction. In addition, the
Message Waiting lamp of the station can be turned on automatically by the VMS.
