Pricing may be found by utilizing the attached link to the SPC website. This is great news for the nearly 200 SPC Telecommunications Program participants. If your organization is not served by Call One, we strongly encourage you to look into the program.
Call One’s voice product portfolios include:
• Hybrid VoIP system that can be PBX/Digital technology enabled, allowing municipalities to make use of older existing infrastructure without requiring a complete cable or data hardware upgrade;
• Pure VoIP solutions that meet the requirements of the most advanced network requirements of our members; and
• Hosted solutions that are engineered with the equipment managed and maintained in a “cloud” environment with only desktop instruments, software or cellular devices for employee access.
The pricing schedule for voice product equipment will be based on a minimum discount of 35% off the manufacturer’s MSRP. Additional promotions, discounts and specials may periodically be offered directly from the manufacturer which may potentially decrease the procurement price further.
Call One Professional Services is based on offering participants all four phases of a complete process that includes assessment/IT roadmap, consulting, remediation and management. Every member’s telecommunications needs are unique and will be addressed as such with customized solutions.
