CNA Seeks Future-Proof Solution to Connect All Its Offices, Yeastar is the Right Choice

For businesses with various offices distributed at different places, it’s not so easy to keep them connected in one telephony system and manage them as a whole. Though most VoIP systems can be connected via the internet using SIP trunks, setting a corporate phone network in such a way can be very complicated due to the number of SIP trunks needed to be configured. And that’s what troubled CNA — a famous Italian business association for long. After a thorough analysis of its communications demand and the current solutions available in the market, they chose the Yeastar VoIP solution to address the issue.

Background

As a business association with 8 offices operating in Rome, Italy, CNA has been providing services for craft businesses and SMEs for over 70 years. Being the largest business association in Rome with over 24,000 associated companies, keeping its teammates stay in touch with each other and ensure the uninterrupted communication between the team and its clients are of vital importance to the development of its business. In order to connect its headquarter with more than 100 users with other branch offices distributed around the country, CNA needs to seek a trustworthy VoIP solution that could help deliver high-quality and secure phone calls for its whole communications system.

Objectives and Challenges

Headquartered in Rome and other 8 branch offices distributed in other parts of the country, CNA needs a communications system to connect all these branches and allow for smooth and secure calls between extensions of any of its offices. What’s more, the unexpected crisis caused by the virus has sped up the trend for smart working, contributing to the surging needs of unified communications and smartphone applications. Under this scenario, how to keep employees connected when their office extensions are not by their side is also an issue to solve.

Why Choose Yeastar Over Other Brands

To properly manage calls between CNA’s massive number of users and their contacts, administrators need not only a phone system that could make and receive phone calls but also a reliable and flexible communications solution to safeguard its business. Comparing with all other telephony system providers in the market, Yeastar stood out with its excellency in delivering quality phone calls, providing various business-enhancing features, and most importantly, in meeting and exceeding the expectations of CNA.

After comprehensively understood the communication need of CNA, Yeastar reseller Enegan Spa recommended that 1 unit of Yeastar S-300 VoIP PBX and 1 D30 expansion board was deployed in the headquarter and 7 units of S20 VoIP PBX installed in its 7 branch offices. It was soon adopted.
