Collanos Nominated at CeBIT for the IT INNOVATION PRIZE in two Categories

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

At CeBIT 2009, Collanos and Translumina Networks will be launching LumiMagic, which is a cost-effective Linux box combining the functions of a VoIP telephone switchboard, network router, and WLAN access point. When integrated into a Collanos collaboration network, it offers companies and their partners a comprehensive communications and collaboration platform. The latest versions of Collanos Workplace and Collanos Phone will also be on display. Making its first appearance at the CeBIT (Booth A56/Hall 13) as part of the “Triple Play & more” consortium, Collanos will be exhibiting its software for electronic team collaboration among multiple organizations.

LumiMagic VoIP PBX

Collanos and Translumina Networks launch the LumiMagic telephone switchboard for SMBs

LumiMagic epitomizes the SMB (small and medium-sized businesses) telephone switchboard of the future. Oriented to the needs of SMBs, the compact, cost-effective Linux box combines the services of a VoIP telephone switchboard, network router, and wireless LAN access point in a single package. The innovative integration of the telephone switchboard into a Collanos collaboration network provides a company’s employees with the most direct communication paths and comprehensive teamwork support – all at low cost and regardless of their individual locations.

Every employee and every Collanos user at a supplier, partner, or customer location can be integrated into the company’s communications and collaboration network. Employees can thus be reached via their company phone number, and when it comes to their collaborative work with others within or outside the company, they can take advantage of functions geared toward team information sharing, instant messaging, telephone conferences, and project management. In doing so, telephony as well as Internet-based collaboration with every other employee and Collanos user worldwide is free of charge. Phone connections to the public telephone network are very inexpensive thanks to the typical low-cost VoIP telephone rates.

New Collanos Version

To be introduced at the CeBIT, Collanos’ latest Version 1.4.0.2 features many new functions and enhancements. New Premium services have been added to Collanos Workplace and Collanos Phone. For example, all users can now be reached at their own Collanos phone number from any public telephone.

Collanos Receives Dual Nominations for the 2009 IT INNOVATION PRIZE.

Collanos has been nominated for the “2009 IT INNOVATION PRIZE” at this year’s CeBIT for its innovative solution geared especially toward small and medium-sized businesses. That puts Collanos in the top three in the “Unified Communications” and “Special Awards – Switzerland” categories. The winners will be announced on March 5 at the official CeBIT awards ceremony.

Prices and Availability

Collanos Software products are free of charge and can be downloaded at http://www.collanos.com. Prices for LumiMagic vary depending on the package ordered and start at Euro 129 plus a monthly flat rate of Euro 19.

Team – It’s Time to Talk

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Collanos Workplace 1.4. integrates Collanos Phone’s voice functions. Three voice services are now available to teams.

1. Call Your Contacts/Members for Free

You can call any other Collanos user for free, if the connection can be established directly over the Internet. These direct calls can be set up in a number of ways. Generally, the command is contained in the context menu if you click on the contact or member directly. Sometimes you will also find a “Call” button in Collanos Workplace’s tool bar. When such a direct free call is established between two Collanos users, the Collanos Phone application will open automatically on both sides.

2. Call Your Contacts’/Members’ Regular Phone Numbers (Dial-Out Premium Service)

If you have purchased dial-out credit, you can call Collanos Workplace contacts and members on their regular phones. To do this, use again the context menu, but select “Dial-Out” and then one of the available numbers “Office”, “Home” or “Mobile”.

Phone Numbers in User Profile
Each Collanos user can set and change his regular phone numbers in his or her own user profile. Fill out these fields so that your contacts and friends are able to contact you even when you are not in from of your computer.

Purchase Dial-Out Phone Credit (Premium Service)
Dialing-out to regular phone numbers is a premium service. To be able to use this service, users need to purchase dial-out credit on Collanos’ secure web shop, using a VISA or MasterCard credit card.

Voice Box and Redirect Feature
Quite interesting especially for traveling users are the voice box and the call-redirect feature. Settings for these features can be made on the user’s account pages on Collanos’ secure web site.

Voice messages left for the user on his voice box are automatically forwarded to the user’s email.

Call Redirect redirects calls intended for Collanos Phone to a regular phone number, for instance to a mobile phone. Your team members and contacts will still be able to call you for free on your Collanos Phone, but the calls will be redirected to another number after a defined time. This feature is automatically available for all users that have a positive phone credit balance on their account.

3. High-quality Team Calls

There are two different kinds of team calls available in Collanos Workplace.

  • The first is based on the central conference service and supporting up to 10 participants.
  • The second is working between Collanos Phones only (no central server involved), but is limited to 3 participants.

The advantage of the central service is that conference call details such as “Subject”, “Description” and “List of Participants” are being sent by Workplace message as well as by Email to all participants. The Collanos Phone based conference on the other hand is directly calling the other two participants.

You can start a conference call by clicking on the button in Collanos Workplace’s toolbar at any time:

Central Conference Service
To establish a call based on the central conference service, use the first tab and fill in the form, such as:

  • Conference call subject
  • Conference call description (e.g. an agenda or the goals of this call)
  • PIN code to protect the call
  • Delay before the call starts (a good idea is to give a 5 or 15 minutes advance notice before starting)
  • Desired participants

After starting such a conference call by clicking on “Start” button, all participants will receive a notification message, both in form of a Workplace chat message (system generated) and email notification. The email notification has one additional element, it contains a web link to automatically join the call.

Collanos Phone Conference
To establish a Conference Call that is started directly from your Collanos Phone, as well as the audio mixed on your local computer, use the second tab.

Team Spotlight: beteo – Inexpensive Long-Distance Calls Worldwide

Monday, January 19th, 2009

beteo profits from combining Collanos Workplace and Collanos Phone with LumiPBX

From day one, the young and innovative consulting firm beteo AG has used an outsourced LumiPBX phone system developed by Translumina Networks. beteo has unparalleled expertise in the area of SAP Application Lifecycle Management and provides consulting services to international, large-scale companies that use SAP’s standard software. Specifically, beteo helps them to set up and design their SAP systems to ensure that when these are re-configured or applications need to be changed, the flexibility of the company and its IT system are not impaired in the short- or long-term.

All beteo employees use Collanos Phone, a software-only phone that is installed on a given computer. This soft-client is fully integrated in LumiPBX as well as in the Collanos teamwork network used intensively at beteo. As a result, beteo’s Collanos users can make calls to anywhere in the world at no charge. The only requirement for this phone service to function in the Collanos network is computer access to the Internet. Employees can thus be reached by phone anywhere on the planet at their own phone number or their Collanos name.

Calls made from Collanos Phone or Collanos Workplace to a public-switched telephone network are inexpensively routed through the LumiPBX switchboard. Dieter Steiger, founder and CEO of beteo, opted for this solution since Collanos Phone functions very similarly to a normal telephone and beteo’s projects require teams to have flexible and interlinked communications. As a result, beteo no longer had to consider buying a large number of phones, and employees who travel continuously from one customer to the next throughout Europe benefit from a tremendous level of flexibility.

According to Steiger, whose rapidly growing company already has more than 20 employees in Germany and Switzerland, LumiPBX is ideally suited for small and medium-sized companies. In his opinion, the system is easily managed and operated in businesses employing anywhere from 10 to 500 people. He believes that LumiPBX makes sense if a company needs a simple telephone switchboard, employees are to be reached via the company’s phone number, and answering machines or voice mail are to be used.

With a little bit of experience, getting new employees used to the system is straightforward, says Steiger. In contrast to the past when internal telephony was controlled from a complex switchboard and the assistance of an external expert was required, beteo employees are now independantly able to setup new hires or re-assigned personnel on the system. The company thereby gains a greater degree of autonomy and flexibility, lauds Steiger.

Steiger and his beteo employees don’t need a home-office connection either, since Collanos Phone or an IP phone provides them with all necessary functions wherever they are – even at home.

“Thanks to the LumiPBX-integrated Collanos Phone, we hardly use mobile phones any more for international calls. That lets us save so much money that even private calls are of no consequence,” he explains, adding, “If beteo employees make a habit of using the new platform for business and personal use, the company will definitely benefit from that.”

LumiPBX incorporates many more functions than beteo needs. beteo only uses automatic call forwarding for calls to the head office, which are then routed to the administrative department. Due to cost reasons, incoming calls are not automatically routed to mobile phones. One much-used feature is the ability to forward voice mails to employee e-mail addresses.

LumiPBX and Collanos Phone offer the advantage of using the public phone network worldwide at very low rates, while also enabling telephony to be easily integrated into beteo’s Collanos Collaboration network. “As a result, the already outstanding close collaboration with customers and project partners is now supplemented with voice services at no charge. We always wanted to have a low-cost call-out function for our teamwork environment. We finally have it and it is working out perfectly!” says Steiger pleased.

Team Spotlight: beteo – weltweit kostengünstig telefonieren (German)

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Translumina LumiPBX mit Collanos Phone und Collanos Workplace bei beteo

Die Consulting Firma beteo AG ist eine innovative, junge Firma, die seit ihrer Gründung eine outgesourcete  LumiPBX Telefonanlage von Translumina Networks verwendet. beteo verfügt über einmalige Expertise im Bereich SAP Application Lifecycle Management. Sie berät weltweit grosse Unternehmen, welche die Standardsoftware von SAP einsetzen. Es geht dabei darum, wie diese ihre SAP Systeme aufsetzen und gestalten, damit laufend vorzunehmende Anpassungen am Kunden-SAP-System die Flexiblität von Unternehmen und Informatiksystem kurz- wie langfristig möglichst nicht beeinträchtigen.

Alle Mitarbeitenden von beteo benutzen Collanos Phone, ein Telefon, das als Software auf dem Computer installiert ist. Dieser Soft-Client ist vollumfänglich sowohl in die bei beteo intensiv eingesetzte Collanos-Teamwork-Netzwerk wie auch in LumitPBX integriert. Telefonieren zwischen Collanos-Nutzern ist dadurch für beteo überall auf der Welt kostenlos. Die einzige Voraussetzung für das Funktionieren der Telefone im Collanos-Netzwerk ist der Zugriff des Computers aufs Internet. Damit ist der Mitarbeitende überall auf der Welt unter seiner eigenen Telefonnummer oder seinem Collanos-Namen per Telefon erreichbar.
Bei einem Anruf von Collanos Phone oder Collanos Workplace  ins öffentliche Telefonnetz wird der Anruf kostengünstig über die zentrale LumiPBX abgewickelt.
Da sich Collanos Phone  in seinen Funktionen nicht von einem normalen Telefon unterscheidet und für die Projektteams von beteo eine flexible und vernetzte Arbeitsweise unerlässlich ist, hat sich Dieter Steiger, Gründer und CEO von beteo, für diese Lösung entschieden. Somit fiel der Kauf von Telefonapparaten für beteo weg und die Mitarbeitenden, die permanent bei Kunden in ganz Europa unterwegs sind, geniessen grösste Flexibiliät.

Gemäss Dieter Steiger, dessen stark wachsendes Unternehmen bereits über 20 Mitarbeitende in Deutschland und der Schweiz beschäftigt, eignet sich LumiPBX ganz speziell für mittelgrosse und kleinere Unternehmen. Bei einer Grösse von 10-500 Mitarbeitenden erachtet Dieter Steiger das System für absolut überschaubar und einfach zu handhaben. LumiPBX hält er für sinnvoll, sobald ein Unternehmen eine einfache Telefonzentrale benötigt, die Mitarbeitenden über die Firmennummer erreichbar sein und Telefonbeantworterfunktionen oder Voice-Mail genutzt werden sollen.

Mit ein bisschen Erfahrung sei die Einbindung neuer Mitarbeitenden ins System einfach, meint Dieter Steiger. Deshalb nehmen die beteo-Mitarbeitenden bei einer Neuanstellung oder einem Mitarbeiterwechsel die Einbindung der Personen ins System gleich selber vor. Im Gegensatz zu früher, als die interne Telefonie noch von einer komplexen Zentrale aus gesteuert wurde, sei man nun nicht mehr auf einen externen Fachmann angewiesen. Dadurch gewinne das Unternehmen an Autonomie und Flexibilität, lobt Dieter Steiger.

Einen Home-Office-Anschluss benötigen Dieter Steiger und beteo-Mitarbeitende nicht, da sie mittels Collanos Phone oder eines IP-Telefons alle benötigten Funktionen überall, also auch zuhause, bequem nutzen können.
„Dank dem in LumiPBX integrierten Collanos Phone benutzen wir international kaum mehr Mobiltelefone und sparen dadurch so viele Kosten, dass selbst Privatgespräche überhaupt nicht ins Gewicht fallen“, erklärt er. „Machen sich die beteo-Mitarbeitenden das Nutzen der neuen Plattform geschäftlich und privat zu Gewohnheit, können wir als Firma unter dem Strich nur gewinnen.“

LumiPBX deckt insgesamt viel mehr Funktionen ab, als beteo braucht.
Die Möglichkeit, Gespräche automatisch weiterzuleiten nutzt beteo nur im Fall von Anrufen zur Zentrale, welche zur Administration weitergeleitet werden. Eingehende Gespräche werden aus Kostengründen nicht automatisch an Mobiltelefone weitergeleitet. Gerne genutzt wird hingegen das Weiterleiten von Voice-Mails auf die Emails der Mitarbeitenden.

LumiPBX und Collanos Phone bringen nicht nur den Vorteil, das öffentliche Telefonnetz weltweit zu sehr günstigen Tarifen zu nutzen, sondern ermöglichen auch die einfache Integration der Telefonie ins  Collanos Collaboration Netzwerk von beteo. So wird diese ausgezeichnete Möglichkeit zur Zusammenarbeit mit unseren Projektpartnern und Kunden nun kostenlos um Sprach-Services ergänzt. „Diese günstige call-out-Funktion für unsere Teamworkumgebung haben wir uns immer gewünscht und nun endlich bekommen. Das ist wirklich hervorragend!“, freut sich Dieter Steiger.

After migrating the supporting infrastructure to this new version, it is now required for all users to upgrade to Collanos Workplace 1.2.
