On-premises phone systems were built for an era where most work happened in the office, and voice was the primary mode of communication. In today's changing business environment, the traditional work style of going into an office everyday has morphed into a hybrid one — office, office & remote, or fully remote. The modern workforce requires a flexible and mobile workspace – where they can use a multitude of communication tools to stay connected with colleagues and customers – and work from wherever life takes them.
With UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT BRIDGE, you can extend your existing NEC phone system with cloud-based voice via desktop and mobile apps creating a seamless all-in-one communications experience. It enables you to collaborate in the office, at home, or anywhere in between with integrated video conferencing, chat, and file sharing/backup.
See InfographicCONNECT BRIDGE is a hybrid cloud/on-premises solution designed specifically for NEC customers.

CONNECT BRIDGE enables inbound and outbound calling via desktop and mobile apps, PLUS includes an integrated suite of collaboration services.
Keep your teams and your customers connected with the critical communication and collaboration tools they need in one fully integrated desktop and mobile application.

The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) in Eugene, Oregon, needed to expand its customer service offerings but was unable to do so thanks to an existing communications system that had reached the end of its life cycle.

Migrating to a new communications system can be a daunting task. Black Box engineers and solution architects make it easy.
