Sonexis Tackles Challenges for Energy and Utilities
Sonexis Conferencing Collaboration:
Energy and Utilities have some daunting challenges when trying to implement a cost-effective yet reliable conferencing solution. In the event of a major disaster or disruption in service, first responders must have the ability to collaborate quickly to reduce recovery times and bring essential services back rapidly. Any collaboration solution in this space must have a solid contingency plan in case of natural disaster or other catastrophic event to ensure first responders can collaborate quickly to restore vital infrastructure services. Finding a reliable, cost-effective solution that can preserve existing infrastructure investments while providing a built-in Disaster Recovery (DR) solution can seem impossible.
Companies in this space are also facing unique business challenges. In order to implement a conferencing solution on-premise, the solution must be able to leverage existing infrastructures so as to make the most of prior investments due to mergers and acquisitions. The Sonexis ConferenceManager™ is the solution that is cost effective and reliable while meeting the needs of the changing business landscape that is Utilities and Energy.
Sonexis has the Answers:
The Sonexis ConferenceManager™ is a fully integrated Audio and Web conferencing solution. Deployed on-premise or in the cloud, the system is cost-effective, reliable and provides Rapid ROI and Industry Low TCO. This solution works with any existing voice (PSTN) or data (VoIP) network. With our unique features such as BlastDial, ConferenceBurst™ and a Disaster Recovery Account, the ConferenceManager becomes a necessary application for your contingency planning and first responders. With our DR Account, in the event of a system or infrastructure failure, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that any and all critical communications will occur seamlessly and without disruption.

Robust Reporting Allows for Revenue Generation
Sonexis Conferencing Collaboration:
The Sonexis ConferenceManager™ is the go-to choice for both the Legal Sector and State Department of Corrections. Implemented either in the cloud or on-premise, the ConferenceManager is a fully integrated Audio and Web conferencing collaboration solution that brings Rapid ROI and an Industry Low TCO. Deployed in the cloud alleviates the need for specific telephony, power and rack requirements. If a company or organization already has an IT staff and infrastructure, as well as most of their collaboration occurring internally, then deploying the ConferenceManager in your own environment fully leverages the investments already made driving home an even faster ROI.
The Sonexis Advantage:
It has the capacity for up to 200 participants on a single call with up to 10 sub-conferences, or “breakout” rooms, for private mediation, deliberation and/or counseling. All conference controls occur within our Audio Console, allowing for management of the sub-conferences, mute individuals or mute all, put individuals or everyone on hold. With Sonexis ActiveTalker™, you now have the ability to see exactly who is talking or to identify feedback from a cell phone or headset. If you’re unsure about how small or large of a system you might need, Sonexis ConferenceBurst™ guarantees a Rapid ROI and allows you to start off with a small port amount, track your usage and add capacity as necessary without any additional hardware upgrades.
Legal Sector:
This powerful and robust solution puts the ownership of conferencing in the hands of law firms and actually allows for the solution to now be an additional profit center. With most law firms, any and all communications with a client are billable hours for the firm. With a traditional conferencing service provider, typically the cost would be passed on to the client. However, when a firm invests in our ConferenceManager, those billable hours now add true dollars and cents to the firms’ bottom line. With our Rapid ROI, this overall savings can actually be passed on to their clients, while still adding value to the firm. The key feature here is the ability, provided by Sonexis, to associate an account identifier to a conference call for accurate recording keeping. With Triple Layer security and a Sonexis disaster recovery account, you now have the peace of mind that your firms’ communications are both secure and reliable.
Department of Corrections and Administrative Hearings:
Sonexis has many customers in various States’ Department of Corrections. They have found Sonexis to be the go-to choice for their judicial conferencing communication needs. The two key features here are sub-conferences for private deliberation and counseling as well as automatic conference call recording. If desired, the system can automatically record the main conference (not the private sessions) and will automatically compress and store the recording onto the systems internal 300 GB Hard Drive, which can be retrieved for playback and/or distribution at any time. Also, a unique feature designed specifically by Sonexis allows for case identifying codes to be assigned to a conference call for accurate record keeping.
Key Features & Functionality:
- Up to 200 Participants in a single call
- Up to 10 Sub-conferences in a single call
- Audio Console for complete conference control
- Mute, Mute All, On/Off Hold Music, ActiveTalker
- ConferenceBurst for guaranteed ROI and capacity
- Deployed in the Cloud or On-premise
- Disaster Recovery Account
- Scheduled or Ad-hoc Calls
- Triple Layer Security

Sonexis Leverages Investment with Dynamic Bursting
Sonexis Conferencing Bridges:
In this modern day of regularly weighing the pros and cons of own vs. lease, consumers and purchasing managers are deciding which will provide the greatest overall value. In terms of ownership, how quickly will they see a return on their investment? Unfortunately, for those who choose ownership in regards to their conferencing for conference calls, often times the unexpected happens and the allotted amount of capacity they purchased doesn’t handle the occasional larger than normal conference. In that time of confusion and search for quick relief, the company often finds themselves paying their service provider to pick up the additional needed capacity at a very high cost. Alternatively, many companies are tricked into thinking that their “needed” capacity is without a doubt their absolute peak port usage. Even if that amount of ports is only used once a year for a handful of hours, these corporations have to find the budget to purchase a completely over-sized system for those calls that occur <1% of the time.
Audio and Web Conferencing with Sonexis:
Thankfully with Sonexis, we have a solution for that too. ConferenceBurst™ with Sonexis provides the peace of mind that all managers, IT personnel and purchasing agents are looking for. ConferenceBurst™ is an over-provisioning feature that seamlessly opens up the additional audio and web ports only when it’s needed. It allows the conference to burst over the number of ports owned to the amount required. If the occasional usage becomes more normal, the customer can determine if they believe that usage will continue and if so, they can purchase the additional ports and reap the financial ownership benefits.
Call Sonexis @ 888-476-6394 and Talk to Josh (shown below) Today!
Sonexis Provides Peace of Mind for Audio and Web Conference Calls:
As for the cure to chronic port over-reserving, ConferenceBurst solves that problem too. Traditionally, with a fixed number of ports, scheduled conference calls can create a false number of available ports during the same time slot as the scheduled call. For example, if a customer has an 18 port system and someone schedules a call at 2pm for 12 ports but only 10 people show up. At 1:30pm someone tried to reserve just 8 ports, but their system didn’t allow it seeing only 6 “available” ports. Both calls could have occurred totaling their full capacity of 18 with 10+8, but instead the latter call was unnecessarily postponed. With the Sonexis ConferenceManager enabled with ConferenceBurst, both of those calls could have been scheduled with 12 ports reserved and 8 ports reserved at the same time. Despite only owning 18 ports, the customer would not be charged any overage because the system recognizes that only 18 ports were used, despite the over-reserving which fully leverages the ports you own.
The Sonexis Advantage:
To sum up this conferencing breakthrough, this cost-effective collaboration solution makes the most of the robust features that are in the Sonexis ConferenceManager™ platform while keeping your conferencing costs under control. When we run a Free ROI Analysis and prepare a system quote, it is sized to fit your average usage in terms of ports. Your organization is therefore not charged on a per user basis, as it is with some service providers. Rather you truly only pay for what you need and for what you are going to use, and with Sonexis you’ll enjoy the benefits of perpetual license ownership.

Philadelphia Emergency Management Summit 2013
Sonexis Emergency Management Solutions:
Sonexis Technology has introduced to the market several emergency management solutions in the past few years. In an effort to learn more about the industries and sectors we serve, Sonexis is excited to have the opportunity to attend its first Emergency Management Summit in Philadelphia on April 23, 2013. Held at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel, this day-long event is the one-stop shop to meet and network with the communities first responders. “This regional event will gather top leaders in emergency management, public safety and homeland security and provide a forum to share best practices, renew relationships and work on new solutions in the Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania for both the problems that are anticipated—and those that aren’t.” –e.Republic
As disasters and emergencies are continuing to have a greater national and at times global impact, a new trend of risk planning is taking precedence. Many companies and community leaders are jeopardizing their future because they have little to no telecom disaster recovery planning measures in place. It is often too expensive for many small firms to invest in offsite facilities to ensure business continuity and larger private and public organizations are faced with a diverse infrastructure that cannot be handled efficiently by one solution.
Multifunction Notification Requirement Compliant:
Sonexis Technology Emergency Communication System is an on-premise or hosted solution that provides a secure, easy-to-administer, cost-effective emergency ringdown line system 
that brings rapid ROI and Industry best TCO. Sonexis is JITC Certified and has achieved DoD Unified Capabilities APL and exceeds FAA and Air Force requirements for Airfield Operations.
“This is a challenging yet exciting time to be in the community of first responders. The Philadelphia Emergency Management Summit brings together people from all levels of emergency management, public safety and homeland security for a unique opportunity to learn about and share ideas on strategic and innovative solutions. I encourage your attendance and look forward to seeing you there.”
Samantha Phillips – Deputy Managing Director, Emergency Management, City of Philadelphia
Everyone here at Sonexis is thrilled and honored to be a sponsor of this event. Only in its’ 2nd Year for Philadelphia, the expected attendees list has already doubled last year’s turnout. “Whether emergencies are storm-related, man-made or just the day-to-day challenges in large urban and suburban areas, government organizations are expected to have the answers. The Emergency Management Summits bring together the whole community of public and private-sector leaders to help predict, mitigate and better handle crisis situations in order to save lives and property.” –e.Republic

Sonexis Web Conference Systems:
Sonexis Technology now offers full conferencing collaboration in the form of Audio-only conferencing, Audio and Web collaboration or Audio and Video. Buyers of companies, regardless of size or revenue need as many options to be presented to them as possible. Buyers need to be educated first on the options and then allowed to arrive at the best solution for their needs, not by force but rather with guidance.
All too often we read stories of companies, organizations or even government organizations who implement a large-scale deployment and a budgeted capital outlay, only to find out that their resources were misused or the buyers were misinformed. This is a technology era and everyone has the right to make informed decisions when it comes to their IT needs.
Sonexis Brings Rapid ROI and Industry Low TCO:
Gone are the days of snap and go solutions, and one-size fits all vendors. Today’s procurement teams know that information is important on all levels and can better recognize when a vendor respects those boundaries.
The above are excerpts from a Gartner, Inc. Press Release which can be fully viewed here.
Let Sonexis Guide you to the Best Solution for your Needs
Enterprise Connect 2013 in Orlando Florida
Last week Sonexis Technology announced and demonstrated their partnership and collaboration to bring to market a telephony trifecta. This unique collaboration can be deployed as either a cloud based solution, an in-house solution or a hybrid offering for audio and video conferencing collaboration.
Sonexis Booth # 530 at Enterprise Connect 2013
This partnership represents the beginning of a new chapter in the telephony industry whereby both Sonexis and its parent company, Compunetix, can fulfill the exact needs of the customer driving pure value, fast ROI and lowest TCO.
Through this partnership with Compunetix, the industry will also benefit from all new and
prexisiting relationships giving the end-user access to the best minds of the industry and access to the right products and services to meet their conferencing needs.
Audio, Web and Video Conferencing Collaboration
Below is an excerpt from Wainhouse Bulletin highlighting those exact partnerships and the benefits that are sure to follow.
Compunetix, Inc.’s Video Systems Division (VSD) and cloud-based video provider Vidtel are partnering to deliver solutions that unify traditional video conferencing equipment with WebRTC-based browsers, Google Talk, and Skype. The partnership, enabled through Compunetix’s CSP Chorus Call and Vidtel’s Gateway services, is designed to offer an alternative to traditional collaboration options with a focus on high-touch, specialized (and presumably managed?) environments. The news out of Compunetix never slows down these days, either, as Compunetix and its subsidiary Sonexis, which focuses on in-house audio and web conferencing platforms for the enterprise environment, announced an audio-video platform integration solution. 
The integration will link the VSD EVERGREEN MCU and the Sonexis ConferenceManager via open and flexible APIs, and is being shown at Enterprise Connect this week. Compunetix also announced an alliance with Taiwan-based AVer, which makes HD video conferencing endpoints, document cameras, and streaming devices to jointly develop, market, and sell collaboration solutions. That one could be worth watching, as it — along with the Vidtel deal — signals a refresh on Compunetix’s front regarding partnering for market development. And Compunetix’s VSD is now a Circle of Leaders level member of the Visual Communications Industry Group (VCI-G).
