ESI VIP

ESI VIP (Visually Integrated Phone)

A unique solution for your business!

ESI VIP With VIP (Visually Integrated Phone), you combine the power of your ESI phone system and Microsoft Outlook to enhance communication in your day-to-day activities — including the ability to control calls and organize voice mail and contacts.

VIP comes in two “flavors”: the basic VIP and VIP Professional. Each configuration is licensed independently, with easy migration from VIP to VIP Professional. Each lets you intelligently do the following from your PC’s screen:

Manage your telephone calls
Manage your voice mail
Organize your contacts
Log all your inbound and outbound calls
Quickly program your ESI Feature Phone

And, with VIP Professional, you also get:

Enhanced, more informative user interface
Secure text-messaging
Auto-recording capability
Compatibility with ESI PC Attendant Console

Regardless of your selected configuration, VIP is easy to implement. It connects to your existing local area network (LAN) and is non-invasive. There’s no need to upgrade the LAN or install Microsoft Exchange® — thus avoiding a costly and impractical solution for the small to mid-size business. (VIP requires Microsoft Outlook 2000, 2002, or 2003.)
