Partick Housing Association is seeking proposals for a hosted telephony system to support the organisation of 50 users, which includes 45 staff members and additional phone points in meeting rooms.

This is to ensure that they can provide timely on-site support if necessary. Unlimited Outbound Calling minutes with all license types (within the UK as a minimum) to aid in the predictability of ongoing telephony expenditure Ability to 'mix and match' license types to ensure that all users' needs are catered for, without the need to spend on functionality that isn't required by all users Call Reporting and Analytics: Enhanced call reporting and analytics to improve our understanding of call metrics and performance. CRM Integration with our housing management system Homemaster. Simplicity in both deployment and ongoing support to ease the burden on the internal IT team. Integration with Microsoft Teams. PCI-DSS compliant
