Communes Dronne et Belle

Thirty One French Communities on One cloud.

Thirty One French Communities on One cloud. Dronne et Belle local government in the Dordogne serves 31 dispersed rural communes. They need secure and cost effective voice communications covering all locations with high mobility and remote working.

Communes Dronne et Belle selected the MDS Amiba/Tiptel cloud Unified Communications platform, which is marketed by Périgueux-based DMC Bureautique, as Octopus Business Cloud PBX.

Romain Lasvergnas, DMC Bureautique CTO, said “The platform is ideally suited to servicing multiple locations and allows the consolidation of voice traffic from remote sites onto a single SIP account. This eliminates individual telephone lines to many locations leading to very significant cost savings.”

The 75 users have access to full mobility and presence status inside and outside the office with iPhone and Android apps bringing desktop functionality to the smartphone. All incoming calls are centralised and distributed to the service providers by two operators with seamless free internal calls between sites and cost effective consolidation of outgoing calls on a single SIP account.

The system is installed and maintained by DMC Bureautique from its remote maintenance centre in Périgueux. This means that any changes, moves or additions can be implemented without site visits.
