We're looking at replacing our voice mail system (MerMail) when support ends
(December, we've been told). Vendor is trying to sell us Call Pilot. Seems
like I've heard a few negatives about it on this board. Is it any good?
Are there severe problems with it? Anything we should know about migrating
MerMail to CP?

TIA, Sam

Is it any good? We migrated from Octel to CP 4.0 a year and half ago.
We expanded our feature set significantly. The only problems we've
had were related to Microsoft updates for worm/virus prevention caused
by the fact that NT 4 version that runs on CallPilot is a Nortel
Proprietary install that has to be updated by them. Amidst the Zotov
and Blaster virus outbreaks, Nortel wasn't as quick to the plate with a
software solution as I would have liked, but by taking network-based
preventative measures, there was no real issue. Like any
mission-critical enterprise system, Call Pilot has its nuances, but
it's a very reliable and very robust system overall.

As with any Windows product you must back up your CallPilot. I have
had no problems with my system and it has been online for about a year.
I would strongly recommend before you bring you CallPilot online you
install another hard drive to mirror the two. Provides great
redundancy and allows you to restore the Vmail system very quickly. I
don't think that Nortel recommends this but it is any easy install and
works with Windows NT.

Callpilot 4 doesn't run on windows nt 4. It runs on windows 2003. If you buy
enough licences for desktop messaging so that a majority of users can have
this class of service, you can be very feature rich. you can use mycallpilot
to listen to your messages over a web brower interface or intergrate it with
outlook to manage your messages through that way. It also can send you a
email that you have a message if you set up text messaging.
