Partner MessagingPartner Messaging, 700262058, is available as an option for Partner ACS. It comes in its own module, which fits into the Partner ACS carrier like the other line/station modules. Partner Messaging offers three functionally integrated services: 
Automated Attendant ServiceThe Automated Attendant Service answers calls with a customer-recorded greeting and presents callers with a menu of destination options (routes) to guide them to the right person, department, or voice mailbox. Voice Mail ServiceThe Voice Mail Service provides voice mailboxes in which internal and outside callers can leave messages. Mailboxes can be assigned to any extension in the system. Voice mail subscribers can: • Record a name and greeting callers will hear in the language of your choice • Choose a password to keep messages confidential • Choose a Personal Operator to answer calls when a caller dials 0 before, during, or after leaving a message • Create and send messages to other voice mail subscribers • Broadcast a message to a list of other voice mail subscribers • Listen to messages from callers • Forward received messages to other voice mail subscribers • Add comments to received messages and forward them • Delete old messages • Administer outcalling numbers • The system can be programmed to automatically place an outside call when a new message arrives in a subscriber’s mailbox (called “outcalling”) • Retrieve messages remotely from any touchtone telephone Call Answer ServiceThe Call Answer Service covers unanswered calls on extensions and incoming lines. When a ringing phone is not picked up, the Call Answer Service transfers the caller to a voice mailbox, an automated attendant, or to a recorded announcement.
Partner MessagingPartner Messaging targets small businesses and home offices that need up to 12 mailboxes and that own, lease or are purchasing a Partner ACS system. Partner Voice Messaging is a cost-effective solution for businesses with less sophisticated requirements, but who want more functionality than a conventional answering machine offers. Partner Voice Messaging comes on a PCMCIA card, which is inserted into a slot on the Processor Module. As opposed to a big messaging system, PVM is easy to program and easier to use.
Functional IntegrationMany key systems use voice mail platforms manufactured by other vendors. As a result, they may be difficult to use or drop the connection when calls are being transferred from the phone system to the voice mail system. Partner Messaging and Partner Voice Messaging are functionally integrated, which means they were designed specifically to work with Partner ACS. They operate as a unit, providing a seamless connection for callers and internal users.
