Our Process
Step 1
First up, there’s an initial discovery session with our Mitel technical sales and engineering team to understand your current systems and infrastructure, as well as exploring your deployment and commercial preferences (Cloud or Hybrid deployment and CAPEX/OPEX mix).
Step 2
Next, we’ll discuss any requirements that you’ve already identified from a new solution as well as suggesting new capabilities you may not yet have considered.
Step 3
We’ll then start to delve much deeper into your deployment options (Private Cloud, UCaaS, On-Premise or Hybrid) and requirement specification.
Step 4
The next step is to start demonstrating possible solutions, highlighting features and functionality that cater to your business needs and workflows. This may require other stakeholders and colleagues from your business so that we can make sure that we understand things from their point of view too!
Step 5
If you’d like to de-risk the project then perhaps a proof of concept or trial deployment (if required) to ensure compatibility with your other business systems.
Step 6
Once you’re happy with all that we’ve proposed and signed on the dotted line, we’ll get to work with your experienced Project Team who work with you on a technical plan for a seamless deployment.
Step 7
Your Project Team will start work on the various elements of the solution from cloud infrastructure, phone number porting, connectivity provisioning and call routing plans right through to end-user training and handover to our support team.
Step 8
Once you’re live on your new systems you will benefit from ongoing dedicated support to maintain and upgrade (when required) your systems, leaving you free to get on with doing business.
Step 9
Going forward, you will always benefit from a dedicated, named and field-based Account Manager.

Mitel MiVoice Connect
The Connect Client provides an effortless experience allowing users to handle calls, collaborate and set their own call routing preferences.
The Edge Gateway allows users to seamlessly have the same in-office experience when they work remotely. Staff can take their handset home or use the Connect Client as a soft phone, all without the need to connect to a VPN.
For your IT team, Connect Director is just as straightforward providing a consistent administrative experience across your estate, regardless of its size or complexity. Maintenance and MACs are done through the point-and-click GUI meaning the team spends less time managing the phones.
Lowest total cost of operation of the major UC brands, five-nines reliability and integrations to streamline productivity make MiVoice Connect a cost-effective, low-touch UC solution.
Mitel MiVoice Business
MiVoice Business is a robust, flexible UC system scalable from 5 to 130,000 users. Deployment options include on premise, hosted in private or public clouds, or a hybrid of the two.
Advanced mobility features provided by the MiVoice Border Gateway allow users to have the same experience at home, in the office, or wherever their job takes them. Single number architecture along with unified messaging solutions to fit the size of your business makes handling calls and voicemails from anywhere extremely easy without spiraling mobile costs.
The MiCollab solution provides communications and collaboration from anywhere. The MiCollab Client, available on desktop and smartphones, allows users to choose the best way to get hold of others thereby increasing their efficiency. Interactions can easily be escalated from chat to voice to video with a single mouse click.
MiVoice Business is infrastructure agnostic meaning it will work with your existing infrastructure allowing you to retain existing investments. Management of the system is simple – MiVoice Enterprise manager is web-based and fully integrates with Active Directory, saving the IT team time when provisioning and looking after users.
Adherence to industry standards, fully modular, scalable deployments and integration with business apps to enhance efficiency make MiVoice Business a cost-effective UC solution that will meet your business needs.
Mitel MiContact Centre Business (MiCC)
MiContact Centre Business (MiCC) is all about choice. It empowers your customers to interact with you using their preferred method – whether that’s social media, text, webchat, email or on the phone.
Agents can work in the office or remotely and handle all interactions from a desktop application. With built-in capabilities like customer profiling, intelligent contact routing and enterprise presence, agents can deal with customer inquiries correctly at the first point of contact.
Supervisors can see and manage agents and queues using enterprise-wide real-time monitoring and historical reporting. Workforce management, agent forecasting and scheduling tools ensure the right number of agents for expected volumes which controls costs.
Integration with other Mitel products like MiVoice Business and MiVoice Connect, a modular suite of web-based applications and out-of-the-box integrations with your existing infrastructure including most large CRMs makes MiContact Centre able to meet the unique needs of your business.
Mitel MiCloud
Mitel MiCloud is enterprise-grade communications – in the cloud. It enables you to offer unified, scalable communications to any user, on any device, from anywhere.
MiCloud is built on Google Cloud, offering proven security, reliability and uptime. This is the same infrastructure that runs Google Search and YouTube so you can depend on fast, consistent performance.
Combining Mitel’s proven portfolio of services – like MiVoice Business, MiCollab, and MiContact Centre – MiCloud integrates with your existing business applications to unify and enhance communications, removing barriers to how your users and customers communicate.
Scalable from 250-50,000 users, MiCloud is ideal for multi-site or remote workforces that are looking for a convenient and cost-effective way to move to a completely managed service in the cloud.
Deployment Options
Private Cloud
A private cloud telephony or UC solution resides on company’s internal network or in Blackstar’s hosted data centre where your system is protected behind a firewall and running on dedicated infrastructure. This can be a great option for companies who already have data centres on-site or perhaps have infrastructure as a service off-site because they can use their current infrastructure and connectivity. Private cloud offers an increased level of security and control and they share very few, if any, resources with other organizations.
Public Cloud
For Public Cloud read ‘multi-tenanted cloud’, meaning that your system runs on the same infrastructure as many other customers. The main differentiator between public and private cloud is that you aren’t responsible for any of the management of a public cloud telephony or UC solution. Your system resides in the provider’s data centres on shared infrastructure and the provider is responsible for the management and maintenance of the data centre. Public cloud provides simplicity, scale and savings.
On Premise or Hybrid
An on-premise deployment is still a popular option with many clients, especially in certain sectors where there is a high density of phones, often for health and safety reasons, but little by way of call traffic (think schools, colleges, hospitals, stadia and so on). Nowadays most on-premise deployments are virtualised, allowing customers to use their own virtual server infrastructure and provide highly available, resilient systems. If you prefer, some elements of the system can be virtualised and taken to the cloud, whilst keeping some hardware on-site for various reasons (analogue connectivity, ISDN etc). This hybrid model allows for a gradual migration to the cloud and massively improved DR for the system, the best of both worlds!
