(Newswire.net — July 15, 2013) Wylie, TX —Your current phone system may be hindering production, causing lost sales, and effecting your bottom line far more than imagined. VoIP (Voice over IP) systems create the ability to work from anywhere and make or receive office calls on mobile devices when out of the office. Jay Ferguson, owner of Just Call the IT Guy, highlights why every business might want to consider an upgrade to a hosted PBX solution using VoIP.
1-Make use of what you already have by combining your phone and high speed internet. Most businesses fail to make the connection that their internet can also improve their communication.
2-The cost savings can be significant. Whether you are a startup or an established business; VoIP only requires the purchase or lease of phones. Many plans offer free unlimited calls throughout the US and some include Canada. Combine this with the lack of a high maintenance infrastructure and no maintenance contract and the savings begin to add up.
3-Ease of installation is also a benefit. Once your phone numbers have been ported and requested new numbers assigned, you simply plug in your phones if they have been preconfigured or you contact the provider for an assisted and very easy setup configuration.
4-Ease of use makes the VoIP solution a winner. If you are converting from an old PBX model you will recognize familiar features. If this is your first experience with VoIP you will discover ease of use through simple on-line tutorials and downloadable printable text. Most IT companies provide their clients with in-house training and links to webinars.
5-Useful features of VoIP technology brings together what businesses have come to expect from an enterprise system. Automated attendants answer and route every in-bound call. Hunt groups ring multiple people at once to ensure no call goes unanswered. Call recording allows you to record and replay your calls on demand. Click-to-call connects phones with Outlook and Lync, replacing dialing with clicking. Conference calling simplifies collaboration and reduces business travel.
6-Incorporating multiple locations on the same system is possible. VoIP provides the way to tether locations by implementing call groups to specific locations through extensions and allocation of phone numbers.
7-Ease of management is handled through a control panel which simplifies moves, and allows adding users, making changes and performing other admin tasks all in one location. Mobile and remote users are also managed from a control panel.
8-Mobile capability lets you connect from any location with features that automatically forward calls to your mobile and other numbers when you’re away from your desk. You can respond faster with voicemail-to-email features, and enable a smartphone, tablet or laptop to make and receive calls using your company phone number.
