Expensive maintenance by a system integrator, as well as dependency on the system integrator for system adjustments, were the main factors behind the decision to switch to another solution. The companies also had a great need for additional functionalities in telephones. The objective was to create a virtual European contact centre that would also be available on the usual numbers outside normal office hours without employees having to be at the office.

The user-friendliness of Mitel’s management software was a key deciding factor for Niko. According to Jan Van Moere, Network and Security engineer at Niko Group, “We can now manage our own exchange with great ease. The use of Mitel’s IP and IP DECT phones is highly intuitive, and they have a no-frills look. Anyone can pick one up and start using it.”
