VoIP system live at Weston Williamson Architects

Campbell-Lange Workshop developed a customised VoIP solution for Weston Williamson Architects, which went live on 1 October 2007.

Weston Williamson needed a VoIP solution that was both personal but also takes advantage of VoIP server software capabilities such as out-of-hours rules, personalised voicemail and remote voicemail retrieval, simple but powerful conferencing and flexible ring group configuration. CLW's solution has no per-handset call limit or per-handset costs.

Weston Williamson can take advantage of an open-ended system allowing least-cost routing, free site-to-site calls, voicemail to email and additional automatic routing options as their business grows.

EPLabel in the news

The July edition of the Association of Building Engineers' journal provides an article on the Eplabel Online service. [July 2007]

The article begins:

For the first time a demonstration website will allow the public sector to measure their buildings' energy performance and CO2 emissions. Users can determine a building's energy performance, its CO2 emissions and produce a demonstration version of an energy performance certificate suitable for display. Currently buildings are responsible for nearly half of all the UK's CO2 emissions...

A sample of the journal can be downloaded here.

Information about the EPLabel Online system has been posted on the UK Goverment's site for Local Government, which promotes a "safe, healthy and sustainable environment for all". [June 2007]
