NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2024: Generative AI is now part of your phone system!

Welcome to 2024! As the calendar turns, so does the chance for businesses to redefine strategies and seize fresh opportunities in the coming year.
2023 was the year of emerging Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), like ChatGPT. So, kicking-off the new year, Clarktel and NEC want to make 2024 the year your company puts the advantages of this new technology to work for your business.
Introducing: UNIVERGE BLUE PULSE Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to dominate the headlines – and for good reason. The latest advances make it easier than ever for organizations to focus on what matters and eliminate tedious, manual tasks and processes. That’s why NEC has launched UNIVERGE BLUE PULSE.
PULSE deploys the power of Generative AI, Large Language Models, and Natural Language Processing into our solutions, like CONNECT (cloud-based business phone service) and ENGAGE (call center) to help businesses large and small enhance employee collaboration and customer care, protect their IP, and realize greater mobility, efficiency, productivity, and cost savings.
We know, it might feel overwhelming to learn about new technologies; but we assure you, we've made it easy. How? Because we’ve built this new technology right into our existing cloud business phone system's interface. Enter UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT’S AI Assistant; a partner who Saves Employees Time and Effort! Most people think of ChatGPT whenever they hear ‘artificial intelligence’. ChatGPT is a generative AI solution that allows users to provide a variety of prompts and receive a response in just seconds. NEC recognizes the incredible value of such tools, which is why UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT users now have access to their own AI Assistant – for FREE.

REMINDER: UM8000 Voicemail is now End-of-Life.
REMINDER: UM8000 Voicemail is now End-of-Life.
A number of our clients use NEC’s UNIVERGE® UM8000 Unified Messaging system to handle their voice mails. For those clients, this is a reminder that as of 12/31/2023, the UM8000 has reached end-of-life (EOL) status with NEC.
NEC recommends that you migrate your voicemail to their “InMail” voicemail solution because, at the end of this year, NEC will cease providing any service and maintenance for the UM8000.
If you have an UM8000, we think it’s vital we discuss with you options on how best to mitigate voicemail service disruption risks; even potential loss of saved voicemails in the event of a catastrophic failure.
If you're uncertain if you have the UM8000 or if you’d like to learn about your options, just give us a call at 330-869-8657 to find out more. You can also download this PDF file detailing more key information. Learn More Here!
