  • Sphericall provides unified messaging, call forwarding and find me/follow me functionality and centralized management, which allows Keller Williams to easily manage three offices from a single location.
  • A case study detailing the Keller Williams Realty implementation success is available online.

NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and integrator of advanced communication solutions, today announced that Keller Williams Realty, the third-largest residential real estate company in the United States, implemented NEC’s UNIVERGE Sphericall to decrease telecom expenses and connect hundreds of mobile Realtors throughout three office locations in California.

“Realtors spend most of their time out of the office showing properties,” said Chris Apsley, market center administrator, Keller Williams Realty, Roseville, Calif. “Sphericall, implemented by NEC Associate, Advanced Solutions, allows realtors to choose where and how they need to communicate, while saving the company money. Since the deployment, we have not been reprimanded in our budget reviews and have peace of mind because we no longer have outages on a routine basis.”

NEC Products and Solutions Benefitting Keller Williams Realty:

“Keller Williams Realty required a solution that would fulfill the communication needs of their agents while allowing them to use their existing IP office phones,” said Larry Levenberg, vice president and general manager, national channel sales for NEC. “The Sphericall deployment not only allowed realtors to be more mobile and work more efficiently outside of the office, but also provided a smooth transition from the company’s former communication solution and enabled simplified billing and improved service for their offices.”
