Part of the journey was finding a Unified Communications system that would allow them the ability to ‘never miss a call’ and to work flexibly whether at their Head offices or their state of the art demonstration centre. They were then introduced to DRC a leading Unified Communications provider.
‘We were introduced to DRC over 3 years ago by one of their customers who spoke very highly of their services. We were, at the time, looking at various phone systems and investigating hosted solutions, when DRC proposed Vodafone One Net Business a hosted telephony system.
DRC listened carefully to our requirements and challenges and were able to clearly explain which features of One Net would address each area. We particularly liked the fact that One Net has a range of built in features that work across both our desk phones and mobiles meaning our team could use all the features of the phone system even when out and about or at our demo centre. This also provided cost savings as calls between all office desk phones and mobiles are free of charge with no divert charges for calls routed out of the office.
Another aspect that appealed to us is the disaster recovery aspect. If there is ever a power cut or fault on the landlines then the system automatically fails over to our mobiles so there is never a risk of us losing calls.
We would thoroughly recommend both the One Net solution itself, as it provides us with a single consolidated bill and is scalable as our business grows; also, the service provided by DRC from the first meeting and subsequent account review meetings we have felt fully supported and managed by their whole team’.

Part of the journey was finding a Unified Communications system that would allow them the ability to ‘never miss a call’ and to work flexibly whether at their Head offices or their state of the art demonstration centre. They were then introduced to DRC a leading Unified Communications provider.
Berkeley were a mobile only service customer of DRC.
Through diligent understanding of this customer and their future plans, objectives and requirements, DRC recognised an office move was part of their ongoing requirement as they continued to rapidly expand. DRC proposed Vodafone’s One Net telephony solution as part of their future Unified Communications plan.
The benefits proposed were non-geographic – the system can be moved to any location and can have landline numbers to show many locations if needed. It offers scalability; the system can grow as Berkeley does. The features far surpass any that a traditional telephone system (PBX) can deliver, and are updated automatically as and when the One Net adds new features.
Berkeley have been using Vodafone’s One Net solution for over five years, starting out with 25 users, and growing through that time to over 60 users.
As we constantly monitor all our accounts proactively, we recognised that this growth would bring new challenges. We proposed a solution which ensured that Berkeley’s increased users were always able to make and receive calls without finding that their available lines were all in use. We advised that a leased line connection for both voice with One Net and Data / Internet was installed.
This solution was implemented and has given the business guaranteed levels of available lines and a more stable data connection for all the users in their office.
