Portica supports a virtually unlimited number of mail boxes making it an ideal solution for enterprise-sized applications.

Multiple messaging and notification options provide custom solutions for voice and fax messages. Because of sophisticated message processing and extreme flexibility, OnviNet VMIII and OnviNet Portica functionality surpasses all other unified messaging systems on the market.

End users receive information through a variety of communications:

Pager
Email
Cell Phone
Home or Office Phone
Fax Machine

With unprecedented message control, end users can access messages, adjust call volume, stop, fast forward, rewind and undelete messages via a telephone keypad.

Features:
Auto Attendant
In circumstances where more than one class of service is being provided or operation is only during daytime hours, OnviNet Portica can forward calls to an attendant/receptionist or to an auto attendant.

Multi User Greetings
Callers forwarded to the OnviNet Portica auto attendant receive a personal greeting from their intended party and can elect to leave a message. Users can make operator assistance an available option for accounts during off hours.

Fax Messaging
Faxes can be sent directly to callers with OnviNet Portica fax-on-demand. By calling a designated phone number, a menu of available faxes can be heard and then selected individually for delivery via fax. Users can easily send documents accessed to numerous recipients worldwide with OnviNet Portica fax broadcasting.
Fax mail users can receive and store faxed documents which can then be retrieved (up to 20 at a time) from a remote location. A user can be notified immediately once a fax has been received. Faxes can be retrieved by calling from a fax machine or they can be forwarded to another fax machine of the user's choice.

Call Screening
When enabled, OnviNet Portica will request the name and company of a caller before transferring the call. The call can be accepted, forwarded to another user or a message can be initiated.

Scheduled Greetings
Schedule greetings to change at various times during the day, week, or year. Up to ten different events, such as holidays, vacations, and meetings can be scheduled in advance.

Follow Me
For customers away from their stationary phone, the follow me feature allows them to enter alternative phone numbers that can be dialed concurrently or consecutively until the call is answered.

Trunk to Trunk Transfer
OnviNet Portica's unique trunk to trunk transfer capability does not require a front end switch! Callers can be automatically transferred or given the option to transfer outside the portal to a cell phone, home phone or alternate extension. Users with call screening can accept or reject a transferred call. With trunk to trunk transfer a rejected call can be sent back through the portal to voice mail.

Group Partitions
OnviNet Portica can be programmed to forward messages to grouped email accounts to ensure that messages and notifications are provided to all intended recipients. Fax messages can be forwarded to email in a .tif file format while voice messages are sent as compressed .wav files. OnviNet Portica can support up to 72 call processing ports in a single chassis, an unlimited number of mailboxes, up to 1500 simultaneous connections (log on) to the server (from operator stations on a LAN) and utilities for "plug and play" for over 60 different switches.
