Multi-Company Variant

12. Multi-Company Variant
Communications systems are frequently shared by several companies. These com-
panies want to jointly use the existing infrastructure (e.g. the existing lines and fea-
tures of the system), while at the same time they wish to organise and pay for their
communication completely independently of one another.
This “multi-company variant” can be implemented using the Aastra 800 within a
shared office, for example.
In the multi-company variant, the companies are essentially completely inde-
pendent of one another. This allows them to have their own trunk lines, which is
useful for billing purposes. The Aastra 800 software is used equally by all the com-
panies, however. It is possible to configure the Aastra 800 for each company and
define the extent to which the features of the system may be used.
In brief, the features of the multi-company variant are as follows:
■ Up to five companies can be configured at the same time.
■ Every user of the Aastra 800 is assigned to a company.
■ Each available bundle (trunk group) or SIP account is uniquely assigned to a
company so that incoming external calls can be transferred to the correct
internal subscriber.
■ For each company, every route can have its own code. For example, it is pos-
sible to activate different routes with the code “0” for different companies. This
enables separate charging for outgoing external calls, for example.
■ An individual exchange (“operator”) can be set up for each company.
■ Each company can maintain the communication data of its business partners
in its own company telephone book.
■ The charges can be billed individually for each company.
