Challenge

VP Bank Group had been looking for a system that would fulfill all of its requirements in the areas of alarms, evacuation, unified messaging, call reporting and system redundancy. The system also needed to feature a high level of availability while being easy-to-use and maintain. Other requirements addressed certified interfaces, long lifespan and cost/use relationships. VP Bank also wanted the capability to notify customers and employees regarding all important bank transactions (share prices, etc.)

Solution

VP Bank Group chose a solution that combined Avaya expertise – particularly in planning and installation – with NovaLink’s NovaAlert, NovaConf, NovaMail and NovaTax products. NovaAlert is an alerting, messaging and information server that communicates with various systems over a wide range of interfaces. NovaConf is a conference system with several options: Dial In, Dial Out, Ad Hoc. A link to Microsoft Outlook is available. NovaMail is a unified messaging system (voice mail, email, fax) with special functionality for the health care and hospitality sectors. A large, interactive Voice Response System (IVR) is also included. NovaTax is an invoicing system, allowing both the automatic production of accounts and the calculation of statistics.

Results

Centralized platform. What sets the solution apart is its central platform, which deals with all varieties of events, as well as the central processing and allocation of the platform. These include, in the widest sense, critical events and information, such as fire alarms, burglary alarms or evacuation orders. Also included are information and messages, such as stock movements/stock prices, which can cause considerable financial loss if they do not reach the recipient within the shortest possible time.

Maximum speed and greatest possible reliability. The platform also handles all alarms that are “down,” such as errors or systems. In this case, the greatest possible availability is also required. When the IT systems are down in the banking sector, the cost of minutes can soon run into millions. Maximum speed and the greatest possible reliability play a central role here as well.

Diverse notification mediums. Notifications can take the form of any medium imaginable, such as voice-based telephone calls (also with the help of synthesized speech/text-to-speech), short message service (SMS), pager calls, email, DECT-paging, wireless local area network (WLAN) and workstation pop-ups.

Enhanced call reporting. Call reporting, in all its forms, has also taken up a central role in the banking sector. It is often necessary to give detailed information within the shortest possible time over a managed telephone call, since a deal worth millions can be at stake.

Ability to prioritize based on alert levels. Last but not least, the entire platform is employed due to its efficiency and its ability to prioritize on the alert level for generic communication methods such as standard voice mail, Automated Attendant, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and the sending of SMS and pager messages, as well as many other communication methods.
