How to Choose the Right Small Office Telephone Solution

By Saul Saresi


So you're the new boys in town; you've got drive and determination in spades and you think you've noticed a gap in the market just big enough for you to fill. But there is one major problem - your competitors are bigger and richer than you and you need to compete with them.

Well, at times like these a little lateral thinking and a lot of creativity will serve you well. Firstly, you need to realise that there are certain areas where you can immediately compete with bigger budgets, and no area more important than that of telecommunications.

Well, although PBX phone systems have proved popular with a lot of start up companies, an IP (Internet Protocol) phone system offers far more features and options for your money.

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 phone system offers you incredible flexibility with how you decide to grow your business, affording you the opportunity to plan for the unexpected and expand at your own rate. With an IP network there is only one network to manage, meaning a much more efficient service.

Furthermore, with an IP network you have full control over how you grow your business, allowing you to build in a cost-effective manner and increase as and when you see fit from a mere handful up to several hundred employees on one single site.

And finally, IP systems allow enable you to leverage the numerous management tools and services offered by your service provider - with more being created each day to try and tempt customers to choose their service.

So whether you are the new kids on the block looking to compete in an already crowded marketplace, or a start-up with a niche market and no obvious competition, the importance of being aware of the latest business technologies is crucial to helping your business get one step ahead of the competition, and stay there.
