The
IP Office - Small Office Edition (SOE) supports
the use of the VoiceMail Lite and VoiceMail
Pro applications just like the big units.
In addition, there is a 3rd voicemail option
available on the SOE - an INTEGRATED voicemail
card. This is a solution that "splits
the difference" between Voicemail Lite
and Voicemail Pro. Voicemail Lite is basically
a glorified answering machine (a voicemail
box for every user but nothing more) and Voicemail
Pro is a highly powerful, ultra-programmable
messaging system with unlimited auto-attendants,
call recording, enhanced call queuing, integrated
messaging and much more. The SOE integrated
voicemail, on the other hand, puts a few of
the most commonly used features of Voicemail
Pro into a package that costs a few hundred
dollars instead of $1500. In addition to a
mailbox for every user and group in the system,
the SOE voicemail also has ability to do up
to 4 auto-attendants, each with 3 different
time-profiles (day, night, weekend, for instance).
