Improved Efficiency. In Release 6.1 and later systems, you can save on 
resource costs, enhance customer service, and improve productivity in the 
following ways:
— Coverage and overflow calls can be sent to a remote system using 
calling groups, increasing the number of coverage points and allowing 
sharing of personnel and resources between systems.
— A centralized VMS/AA provides additional savings by eliminating the 
need for a voice messaging system at each location in the private 
network. 
— A centralized VMS/AA improves productivity and communications by 
allowing users to forward and broadcast messages regardless of 
location.
— Calls can be forwarded to a non-local extension providing mobility to 
personnel around the private network.
— Personal messages can be retrieved from anywhere in the private 
network using the same method and extension.
— Incoming calls on any line type at any system can be routed to another 
system for improved customer service and reduced customer calling 
expense.
