Unified Communications White Papers

Non-Profit Reaps Benefits of Cisco Unified Communications With SMB Select Partner CSP

Overview The North Carolina Baptist Foundation is a small non-profit agency providing trust services for individuals, churches and other Baptist institutions. The foundation has outgrown its current phone system. With just eight full-time and two part-time employees, it does not have the technical expertise to research and deploy a new communications system. The foundation has a long and trusted relationship with Cisco SMB Select Partner Computer Service Partners (CSP). CSP was able to show the foundation how it uses Cisco Unified Communications in its own offices. By deploying Cisco Unified Communications in its own offices, the North Carolina Baptist Foundation is saving on phone and internet costs that will deliver strong ROI.
