Choosing the Right Telephone System for a Small Office

By Saul Saresi


Let's start by dispelling a common myth. Just because you have a smaller office than your competition does not mean you cannot compete on the same stage with, and take some of their market share from them.

This is a particularly important fact to remember when it comes to choosing the right telephone system for your business. The internet has changed the way we communicate across the board, and nowhere more so than with telecommunications.

Internet telephone systems have drastically changed the way that businesses both small and large communicate. But even still, there are a large number of businesses who are not aware of the advantages offered by internet telephone systems.

With an IP system you will be part of a much more powerful network that is able to deliver you not just voice, but also video and other important data, as well as a range of other business-essential communication, applications and tools.

An IP network means you only have to manage one network - which is more efficient and less expensive - as well as allowing you to use your data network to make very low cost domestic and international calls.

An IP network also means you can grow your business very cost-effectively, allowing you to increase from 5 to several hundred employees on a single site. This enables you to build on what you have, as opposed to other systems which require you to replace all hardware and technology in order to keep up with growth.

This system enables you to build on what you have, an essential element for any start-up business. IP systems also have the advantage of requiring only minimal staff training whilst also affording you the opportunity of taking advantage of other services such as security and management tools.

So now you have all of the information that the big boys have. The only question that remains is how are you going to use this information? The clever entrepreneur looking to build for the future will realise that any system which affords him massively reduced call costs and increased quality along with the ability to grow at a rate to suit the company's growth, is surely a system worth serious consideration. And so surely the only question that remains is, how clever an entrepreneur are you?
