How Your Current Business Telecoms Could Be Overpriced To Your Company

By Enrique J. Hooks


A business telecom infrastructure is often an expensive matter. Physical phone controls are much more straightforward and more technologically advanced, but there are still many of the same needs for a business phone in an office. Businesses operate largely on communication with the outside world, other offices or even within the building over the telephone and this is still an important factor. It is only the call handling and the expectations that have evolved.

VoIP is a way of making calls with an internet connection rather than a physical telephone wire. It does not block the internet from being used by others, and people can still use the internet simultaneously. Data from the call is sent over the internet which is converted into a normal signal so that it can reach the destination phone. This call process is like a landline, but it has the extra benefits of being more affordable and having better in-call features.

One of the most impressive benefits to using VoIP as the main business telecom solution is the control it gives the user. All of the normal switchboard-side features are now loaded into the software so that the call handling can all be done at the click of a button. It is easy for every user to set their own preferences so that they can decide how they will receive their call. If this is not a desired situation, the access rights can be instantly withdrawn and settings only changed from an admin level. This makes a switchboard unessential, which in turn reduces costs and allows more business telecoms control within departments.

Some businesses get so many calls on an average work day that they need an automated business telecoms system that can ease the workload. This may also include a number of phone numbers, separate businesses that receive calls from the same center and the need for quick call diverting and forwarding. Most of these big centers rely on the work their PBX system does, and are not sure if deviating from this is a good idea.

The fact is, moving to a hosted PBX system does not change anything at all if this is what the user requires. It can be configured easily to reflect the options already used in the older systems, but it has the benefits of lowering costs. Fixing fragile equipment is no longer a problem, and staff have less complaints with their hardware.
