Did you know Genesis solutions are compatible with many different operating systems - not just Microsoft Windows?

Although many users prefer to install their software in a Windows-based environment, it is not a Genesis requirement, and indeed our applications work equally well in Linux environments.

Users who prefer Linux will be pleased to know that they can expect the same reports, ease-of-access, and simple 1-click installation and trouble-free operation regardless of the operating system they choose. Especially for larger organizations with multiple installations, the ability to manage and roll out software updates centrally makes Linux an simple, attractive option.

Hosted users can of course access their software easily from any browser equipped computer, tablet, or smart device, so if you are looking for the ultimate flexibility give us a call to get moved over to our hosted versions!

I see more and more customers choosing to go with hosted solutions as their older phone systems become obsolete and need replacing. The decision to choose hosted reporting and management applications is predictable given the common benefits - a predictable monthly cost and a consistently up-to-date, feature-rich experience.

We've seen a major change in how customers are using hosted telephone systems. While hosted users typically had limited requirements in the past, I now regularly see complex call routing, IVRs, queues, hunt groups, etc., with many customers extensively using features that were previously solely the domain of fully-featured on-premises equipment.

Mirroring this shift, we see a corresponding shift in customer needs on the reporting and management-side as well. Where relatively basic call detail reporting sufficed for smaller organizations in the past, many are now reaching for in-depth call quality metrics, analytics, and modelling previously reserved for the largest, Enterprise-sized organizations. Reliability is also becoming more and more of a concern, as businesses rely more heavily on the data for day-to-day business decisions.

These Enterprise-level reports and features have been built-in to Genesis software since 1984, and continue to be developed as customers need more and more specialized features. Our earliest customers were large Enterprises, and although we service businesses with only a few phones (and all those in between), we've always maintained that our customers should all have Enterprise-level features and reliability.

Contact us for more information on why Genesis is your Enterprise Solution, whether your Enterprise has 5 or 50,000 phones.

We are very excited to announce the release of GenAlert Real-Time 9-1-1 & Emergency Alerting Solution for RingCentral!

GenAlert is an emergency on-site notification solution which detects the moment an emergency call is made (or lockdown/alert code is entered into a telephone) and dispatches alerts to your staff in real-time (including email, SMS, on-screen alerts, speech, strobe / light or siren activation, and more). GenAlert includes location information, floor plans and other visual aids in alerts to assist staff in locating and dealing with the emergency as quickly as possible.

GenAlert can be deployed as a hosted / cloud-only solution or with additional on-site survivability, and is fully customizable based on your needs. GenAlert is compatible with most common telephone systems, and complements our other RingCentral-compatible solutions.

As many RingCentral users quickly realize, call reporting isn't as real-time or accurate as they'd like. Daily call logs are not available until the following day, and the built-in reporting can show issues (e.g. excessive missed calls) which aren't actually occurring but are a result of having more unique installations. Users are increasingly contacting us as their need for timely access to accurate information is not being fulfilled.

We've not only identified the issues that cause most users frustration, but have designed our reporting from the ground up to avoid these issues entirely, while handling the unique challenges of the RingCentral system. The interfaces available to developers - while powerful and reliable - aren't designed for ongoing data collection & reporting like what a typical Call Accounting / Tracking solution would use, and because of this, require an entirely differently designed solution.

The available interfaces however allow for features which are not possible in standard Call Accounting solutions. Some of these reduce the amount of direct administration necessary, others provide access to more timely information, and improve staff safety.

Anyone familiar with RingCentral's built-in reporting will appreciate the flexible reporting and report delivery options built-in to our fully RingCentral-designed solution. Contact us to see how Genesis Call Accounting for RingCentral improves your business oversight, safety, and ultimately, performance. 

Genesis Systems will be closed on Monday May 21 for Victoria Day.
