Thanks all...sounds like a good solution!  Let's see...cut their phone
bill in half and get used to call parking...or continue to pay lots of
money.  No brainer really!

Bruce,

 

Good call on this one!  I've found that users can handle small changes
if they are parallel with something they're already comfortable doing.

Bill,
Our solution was to simply retrain the users to use call parking. The
company had used a key system for more then a decade and I thought the
change would be a tough one, but for the most part people have handled
the change from "Pickup line 1" to "Pickup 71". Not an exact fit I know,
but thought I would offer it since I was in your shoes and have found
the transition easier then expected.

Is there anyway to use Polycom phones (601, 501s) to emulate a key
system - where you can have a "shared" lines that people can pick up
instead of using transfer?  This would make it easier for users used to
putting a call on hold then telling another user "so and so is on line
2".  I know "shared line appearances" could do it but obviously that's
not supported.  Any other suggestions?

 

Bill
