We are your complete resource for information on
Business Telephone Systems. Learn about features,
options and special considerations for
your specific business’ needs.
The most important aspect of choosing a phone
system is getting one that is right for your size
business. A system that's too small will quickly
frustrate your employees and can have a negative
impact on your business. And one that's too big is
just a waste of money.
Small Business, 5 - 10
Employees
KSU
(Key Service Unit) phone systems are the least expensive
type of business phone system. They offer standard
business telephone features without a central
control unit: their features are run by the phones
themselves.
While their low price may seem attractive,
they're generally not expandable to support your
business as it grows. They also don't offer advanced
features and may not have good support by telephone
vendors
Medium Business, 10 - 40
Employees
If
you're business is likely to stay at a fairly
constant size, a key system is the most
cost-effective choice. However, for growing
businesses, hybrid key/PBX systems are expandable
and provide all the features you'd need.
Think through your long term plans: if you plan
to open multiple offices, grow to 50 or 100
employees, or expand your telephone activities, make
sure the phone system you buy is scalable and
capable of meeting your needs for years to come.
Large Business, 40 + Employees
As
your business grows, basic features like voicemail
and auto-attendants are must-haves. Many businesses
with 40 employees or more can take advantage of
advanced features such as automatic call
distribution (ACD) and computer-telephony
integration (CTI).
For the ultimate in phone system expandability
and functionality, PBX systems are the only choice.
The PBX system provides all the power your business
will need – no matter how large you get.
As your business grows, your technology decisions
become more and more interrelated. Your phone system
needs to work with your teleconferencing provider,
call center software, and sales force automation
system.
Do you have multiple locations,
in the US or internationally?
- Small businesses with multiple locations
should consider a VoIP phone system, instead of a
traditional set up. VoIP (Voice over IP) lets you
use data networks instead of regular phone lines
to connect your calls.
- There are two primary advantages of VoIP phone
systems. First, they provide the full features of
your phone system to every phone on the system –
even remote offices or home workers. Second, they
completely eliminate calling costs between your
locations.
- Don't confuse these systems with VoIP service,
like Vonage or Skype. Those companies replace your
business phone service, your connection to the
outside world. A VoIP system in your office simply
connects your internal phone network.
Do you have many mobile workers?
- If you have some employees who are often on
the road, mobile connectivity is an important
consideration. In addition to carefully comparing
cell phone services, ask the phone system vendors
you're evaluating what features they offer to
support mobile workers.
- One helpful feature is the ability to forward
calls from a phone extension to a cell phone after
a certain number of rings. This "automatic call
forwarding" or "follow me anywhere" feature lets
callers contact the people they need to reach
without worrying about where they are.
Do you have an inbound or outbound call center?
- Any group of telephone-centric employees can
be considered a call center. Customer service
specialists taking incoming calls and telephone
salespeople alike can benefit from call center
features.
- The most important is CTI – Computer Telephone
Integration. CTI is what allows callers' account
information to be automatically called up on your
employees' screens as they answer the phone. This
makes your call center reps more efficient and
increases customer satisfaction.
- For larger call centers, detailed reporting
features help you track how long employees spend
on each call, average hold times, and other
important metrics.
