Intelligent business communication: a smart phone system with AI assistants

The managing director of Zöllner Büro- & IT-Systeme GmbH explains how companies can connect availability, call control and recurring service processes with AI assistants. The central question: how can telephony be designed as an integrated part of modern workflows?

What sets the futureSAX Innovation Forum apart

futureSAX positions the Innovation Forum as a format for impulse and networking aimed at Saxony’s small and medium-sized companies. The focus is on integrating AI into new working environments and its effects on structures, processes and business models. The programme combines discussions, compact pitch sessions and space for direct exchange.

For companies, that connection is what counts: AI delivers value not as an isolated tool but when it works sensibly with real communication channels, existing applications and the people in the team. Intelligent telephony is a concrete use case – from the first call through recording the request to a targeted handover to staff.

Why smart telephony belongs to New Work

New working environments need communication processes that are reliable, transparent and adaptable. When AI assistants answer calls, capture information in a structured way and route requests appropriately, teams can spend more of their time on the conversations where personal expertise really counts.

Peter Gemander’s talk therefore looks beyond the technology. It shows how a modern phone system can become a building block of digital work organisation: with clear handovers, better availability and a service shaped around each company’s processes.
