Phone System Features

PBX features Phone systems developed by Database Systems Corp. are state-of-the-art call processing systems that handle outbound dialing and inbound phone calls.

Our phone systems support both analog (Wizard Series) and digital (Pacer Series) phone lines and can be configured from 1 analog line to 500 digital lines.

Developed with industry standard components, our phone system has features and functions that can only be found in large PBX systems.

  • Outbound Dialing System - Phone systems from DSC are capable of performing outbound calling functions including voice broadcasting, dial on demand, predictive dialing, progressive dialing, and preview dialing - all at the same time.


  • Inbound Call Handling - The DSC phone system processes inbound phone calls and distributes these calls using our ACD (Automatic Call Distribution) system. With our IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system, callers can perform self-help functions without speaking with an individual by making simple selections using the keypad on their phone set. Our phone system can even connect calls to your employees who are working at home or in remote offices.


  • Blended Call Processing Operation - Both inbound and outbound calling functions can be performed simultaneously. This blended call capability makes our phone system ideal for call centers.
