solutions. So, build relationships with your phone users to encourage clear
communication about their needs and problems.
When you build relationships within your organization, you are able to work with others to
solve problems and create better solutions. It is essential that you work with management
and department heads within your organization to improve business performance and
support the goals, needs and strategies of your organization. Work closely with upper
management and others to learn about your organization's future directions. This is
critical for long-range planning, equipment purchases, wiring, and upgrades.
Develop strategies to increase the efficient use of your Communication Manager
system/
Publicize your role.
Meet regularly with management and department heads to find out how they work.
Establish a system to educate new users and provide refresher training for others.
Set up a communications channel, such as e-mail, messaging system mailbox, or a
web site for employees to make suggestions, ask questions, or make requests. Keep
your end-users well-trained and up-to-date to ensure that the system is being used
effectively and efficiently.
To provide your organization with appropriate communication solutions, it is important to
know your Communication Manager system. Because there are a variety of system
configurations, you should know the capabilities and limitations of your system. This is
critical in order to be prepared for any contingency. In the event of a disaster, you will
need to know exactly what configuration you have, so that it can be restored properly.
You will also want to know if your system has the capacity for growth (cables, ports,
wiring, etc.), so that you can be proactive in planning for your organization's business
needs. One of the best ways to maintain your knowledge is to keep printed records
related to all elements of your organization's communication system and services.
You should also build relationships with your telecommunication vendors. This will keep
you up to date on new products and current offerings from your vendors. For example, if
you discover that a number of trunks are not being used by your organization, you can
work with your vendors to analyze your situation and come up with a more effective
trunking plan.
Another reason to build relationships with your vendors is to keep them familiar with your
system. If you frequently experience a particular problem with a piece of equipment or a
service, your vendor will be aware of the problem and better able to help you find a
solution.
