Telephony

Telephony covers all of your university telephone related needs; the basic service includes a handset and extension but there are also a number of additional features available to enhance the service.

These include pick up groups (to enable colleagues to answer each other's calls), hunt groups (so a whole team can be reached on one extension), voicemail (to allow callers to leave a message when you can't answer your phone) and mobile phones for working away from your desk. Cost and call summary reports are available from the Concerto call logging system to help faculties and offices to monitor call costs. A dedicated contact centre system is provided for a number of Student Services functions, which provides more advanced management of inbound calls and integration with the Student Enquiries service, especially at clearing
