IRVING, Texas --(Business Wire)--

NEC (News - Alert) Corporation of America:

  • NEC's UNIVERGE SV8100 allows Humane Society Silicon Valley employees & volunteers to help more pets
  • NEC dealer General Telcom has worked with HSSV for more than 20 years
  • HSSV implemented the NEC system for its cost-effectiveness and simple, centralized management
  • SV8100 empowers 100 HSSV employees and 800 volunteers with an easy-to-use communications system to find prospective adoptive pet homes and donors

NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and integrator of advanced communication solutions, today announced that Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV), an independent, non-profit animal shelter that has been serving people and pets since 1929, implemented its UNIVERGE® SV8100 communications server to help improve employee and volunteer productivity in supporting numerous programs and services for pets.

HSSV is not only using the SV8100 to contact potential donors via outgoing phone calls, but for hosting other essential inbound call programs such as pet emergency treatment and facilitating an animal behavior help line and pet loss support group. With NEC's SV8100, HSSV's 100 employees and 800 active volunteers can seamlessly work with an easy communications solution allowing them to better pets' lives.



"Through Humane Society Silicon Valley alone, more than 300 animals are adopted into new homes or placed with specific rescue organizations each month," said Lee Tonga, IT director, Humane Society Silicon Valley. "Adoptions are just one of the many programs going on daily at our facility, and it is imperative that our employees and volunteers are able to easily communicate. NEC's solutions helped our team be more cohesive and spend less time on technical support and more time helping pets."

"General Telcom has worked with HSSV for more than 20 years. After looking at the competitive field, the Humane Society chose the SV8100 because it is easy to manage and very cost-effective," said Dennis Herman, VP Sales, General Telcom. "The outcome has been efficient communications greatly impacting their shelter and medical services programs."
