For Renaissance Healthcare, opening a new headquarters in Houston, Eagle Broadband is implementing a hosted Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) solution based on a COVAD IP-PBX (Private Branch eXchange). This implementation includes an eighty-person call center where telephone operators will be calling insurance companies to confirm patients' medical coverage plans. A key aspect of the project will be the software integration between the VOIP PBX and the TELREX call center software solution, thereby ensuring that call center operators are fully informed with supporting details for all inbound and outbound calls.
According to Vinh Pham, Executive I.T. Director for Renaissance Healthcare, "Eagle was able to offer COVAD's Unified Messaging Dashboard as part of an integrated all-IP call center solution which meets our operational needs."
For Harborwalk, a waterfront real estate development on Galveston Bay, Eagle Broadband is installing a complete managed IP network servicing offices, the marina and restaurants. In addition to deploying all of the operational communications equipment and wiring, Eagle will provide ongoing active 7 by 24 remote management services to ensure that these network components perform in a nonstop mode.
"IP network implementations are an important component of our total solution set," said Dave Micek, president and CEO of Eagle Broadband. "As we roll out increasingly sophisticated IPTV and Set Top Box solutions, these advanced IP networking skills will be critical to ensuring successful video technology implementations."
