UC / Telephony Strategy
Unified Communications (UC) is often a mix of technologies, and different products and manufacturers define it differently.

Contact Centre Strategy
Getting your Contact Centre Strategy right can be the difference between winning and losing in any market. The Contact Centre is where customers go to, be served, get information, report faults, complain and most importantly, often, to make an order or reorder. Making these processes easy for the customer and easy for the business is the Contact Centre Strategy.
Why not proactively inform the customer of the information they are looking for before they contact you? Why not offer channels to your customers that don’t require more staffing resource but still meet the customer demand? Why not remove the friction from ordering to make the process easy for customers? These are all questions to review when creating an informed and outcome focused strategy.
At Alba Telecom we have helped many clients realise their goals based on real-world experience. We understand the market and through working with our clients understand the demands of the modern customer experience.

Voice & PSTN Switch Off
The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is the traditional analog telephone system that has been in use for decades. It comprises copper wires and circuit-switched technology to transmit voice calls.
The replacement for PSTN is IP-based voice services, often referred to as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or Unified Communications (UC). These services transmit voice and data over the internet using digital packets.
Many countries, including the UK, have announced plans to phase out PSTN services. In the UK, Openreach, a subsidiary of BT Group, plans to switch off PSTN services by 2025. This means that traditional landline services relying on copper wires will no longer be available.
Alba Telecommunications, specialise in helping businesses navigate the PSTN switch-off and transition to modern voice solutions. We can offer guidance, support, and tailored solutions to ensure a smooth transition.
