Mitel: Ensuring Round-the-Clock Support for City of Mesa
Charlie Haynie, National Account Manager at Mitel, discusses the unified communications platform that powers one of Arizona’s fastest growing cities

TL;DR
- Mitel's OpenScape platform has been the backbone of the City of Mesa's communication network for over a decade.
- The platform supports a complex environment with over 15 departments and approximately 4,000 stations, catering to both desk-bound and mobile workforces.
- A recent major platform upgrade for Mesa was completed with minimal disruption, significantly under the planned maintenance window.
- Mesa works directly with Mitel, fostering a collaborative approach that allows for centralized control and departmental flexibility.
- The city's stable communication foundation allows for the future integration of AI-assisted capabilities without a complete platform overhaul.
