The Fertilys clinic is a medically assisted reproduction centre serving a population of 800,000 in Quebec, Canada. It is recognised for quality services and high success rate of in-vitro fertilisation and intrauterine insemination. The comprehensive, state-of-the-art technical facilities and patient-centred approach have earned them a solid reputation.
Faced with call loss due to an old telephone system, Fertilys sought a robust and reliable solution to seamlessly handle patient calls and provide superior telephone assistance. The opening of a second clinic further confirmed the need for a unified and optimised telephone system between the two sites.
해결 과제
In assisted reproduction, scheduling appointments and patient cycle tracking are essential to the fertilisation or insemination protocol and key to the success of the procedure. The clinic could not afford to continue to lose calls which was causing patient dissatisfaction and frustration.
The team of six trained operators required the most professional and flexible way possible to assist patients on incoming calls.
조치
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise and long-time Business Partner, SSP Telecom, delivered on the need for feature-rich, reliable telephony to help Fertilys succeed. Confidence in the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX® Enterprise Communication Server (OXE) as an investment for future growth was another benefit. Fertilys now offers harmonised and efficient patient call handling at its two sites with a complement of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise DeskPhones and Visual Automated Attendant capabilities.
