With a growing need for simple and efficient communication between its own employees and external parties, Bendix decided the time had come to adopt a unified communications and collaboration solution. The company selected Microsoft Skype for Business which offered a comprehensive set of tools that could benefit its users by delivering increased efficiency and productivity.

However, despite the rich functionality offered by Skype for Business, Bendix needed to complement the platform with a variety of voice-enabling products to create a complete PBX replacement solution at its offices in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Among the additional requirements were:

• Connectivity with local PSTN and SIP trunk operators
• Coexistence with the existing Avaya PBX solution already in use at Bendix’s locations
• IP phones that would offer a familiar user experience while integrating fully into Skype for Business
