K&N Engineering | Manufacturing | 650 | $155M | United States | Cisco Systems | Cisco Business Edition 6000 | PBX, VoiP and Phone Systems | 2016 |
In 2016, K&N Engineering implemented Cisco Business Edition 6000 as a PBX, VoiP and Phone Systems deployment to address phone system, contact center, and IP fax requirements that were no longer meeting business needs. The implementation was led by Zones and targeted K&N headquarters in California, a 10 building campus of nearly 400,000 square feet, and extended to the company’s facilities in England and the Netherlands, covering engineering, product design, manufacturing, warehousing, test operations, purchasing, sales, customer service, marketing, and corporate offices.
The solution architecture centers on Cisco Business Edition UC servers hosting all virtual machines and contact center services, with Cisco Unified Communications Manager providing voice and video features, Cisco Unity Connection delivering messaging and intelligent call routing, and Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Service enabling enterprise instant messaging and presence. Cisco Jabber was implemented for IM, presence, voice, video, visual voicemail, and web collaboration, while Cisco Collaboration Edge Architecture was used to enable teleworkers and mobile Jabber users to connect without a VPN client.
Third party integrations implemented alongside Cisco products were Imagicle StoneFAX for IP faxing and Enghouse Interactive for Cisco UC for multi-channel real time communications management, both integrated with Cisco infrastructure to deliver desk delivered faxes, central archiving, and unified handling of voice, email, fax, SMS, web, and social channels. The architecture emphasized virtualized UC services on the BE6000 platform to simplify administration and to surface new reporting and contact center statistics for supervisors and managers.
Governance and rollout included Zones led consulting sessions, technical assessments, requirements reviews, and proof of concept demonstrations with subject matter experts, followed by a coordinated engineering engagement to deploy and tune the solution. Post implementation outcomes reported by K&N included improvements in internal collaboration, increased access to the global sales team, simplified communications management, greater real time statistics and reporting, more effective contact center agent and supervisor communications, and operational efficiencies from Imagicle StoneFAX such as email delivery of faxes and centralized archiving that reduced paper handling.
