Chelsea Piers Gets in the Game With Toshiba's Strata CIX Business ...

IRVINE, CA?(Marketwire ? Aug 7, 2012) ? Toshiba America Information Systems Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division (Toshiba) ? www.telecom.toshiba.com, has helped Chelsea Piers connect the employees and customers of its 28-acre entertainment complex with Toshiba?s Strata? CIX? IP business telephone system. Opened in 1995, Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex is a 28-acre sports village built on four historic Hudson River piers. It features a variety of sports facilities, including rock climbing walls, batting cages, ice rinks, a golf driving range, a gymnastics center, a bowling facility, indoor turf playing fields and basketball courts, a 150,000-square-foot health club, pro shops, TV production studios, marina, restaurants and more.

Stuart Sheinbaum, vice president and director of Communications for Chelsea Piers, identified the need for a business telephone system that would:

  • Standardize on a single business telephone?system to handle the entire 28-acre facility;
  • Improve communication with direct-extension?dialing, intercom, and paging across the entire facility;
  • Handle 20,000 average monthly incoming calls;
  • Provide unified communications for their sales?team, including caller ID, call history, and screen pops integrated with?salesforce.com? and the health club database;
  • Utilize fiber networking to connect all five?locations;
  • Provide emergency support with battery backup?and alarms;
  • Facilitate remote centralized management for?adds, moves and changes;
  • Report trunk and port usage and track?incoming/outgoing call volume;
  • Enable growth over time; and
  • Provide an immediate return on investment and?ongoing cost savings.

Chelsea Piers turned to Tele-Dynamics Voice & Data of New York City.?Tele-Dynamics has been an Authorized Toshiba Dealer for nearly 30 years.?Jerry Pullman, vice president of Operations, and Robert Pullman, CEO, recommended Toshiba?s Strata CIX IP business telephone system to meet Chelsea Piers? needs.?Chelsea Piers has been a Tele-Dynamics and Toshiba customer since 1993.

Solution: Toshiba?s Strata CIX Exceeds Chelsea Piers? Goals

Installed by Tele-Dynamics Voice & Data, Chelsea Piers? Toshiba business telephone system consists of:

  • A Strata CIX1200 business telephone system, which?provides telephone capabilities for five locations covering 28 acres,?including offices, sports facilities, restaurants and more;
  • More than 350 Toshiba telephones on site;
  • Strata Media Application Server?(MAS);
  • Call Manager for unified communications, plus?screen pops integrated with salesforce.com for the sales team; and
  • Network eManager? for centralized remote?management of all systems.

Result #1: Single Telephone System for 28-Acre Facility

In choosing Toshiba?s Strata CIX1200, Chelsea Piers now has a single business telephone system for its five locations across 28 acres, all connected via fiber networking.?All five locations share a centralized voice mail system and low cost T-1 service as well as easy extension dialing throughout all locations.

Result #2: Improved Internal and External Communications

With the Strata CIX1200, Chelsea Piers improved internal and external communications with four-digit dialing, intercom and paging services across the entire 28-acre facility. In addition, incoming calls can be routed to a live operator, so no call ever goes unanswered during business hours.

Result #3: Centralized Remote Administration for More Control

Using Toshiba?s Network eManager remote administration tool, Chelsea Piers? IT team members can now remotely manage the entire telephone system from their laptop or desktop computers.?They can easily make adds, moves and programming changes remotely for all five venues.

Bottom Line: Chelsea Piers Saves Time, Money and Gains Efficiencies With Toshiba Strata CIX

Toshiba?s Strata CIX1200 IP business telephone system has met Chelsea Piers? communications objectives, including:

  • Standardizing all locations within the 28-acre?facility on a single business telephone system;
  • Enabling four-digit dialing, intercom and paging?across all locations;
  • Re-using existing fiber network for significant?cost savings;
  • Reducing costs for service calls by enabling?remote centralized administration of the system;
  • Protecting their original investment by?migrating from an older Toshiba Legacy digital system to the new IP-converged?Strata CIX, which allowed the re-use of telephone handsets and interface?units, delivering a significant cost savings;
  • Eliminating costly Centrex lines, saving more?than $50,000 annually; and
  • Providing an immediate return of investment as?well as $26,000 in yearly savings.

?Together, Toshiba and Tele-Dynamics delivered on our top three goals: standardization on an affordable, reliable platform; reduced business telephone costs; and the ability to self-administrate.?It?s a winning combination,? said Sheinbaum.
