The Advantages of an Office Telephone System
One of the biggest alternatives to an office telephone system that has come into play recently is the use of individual cell phones rather than a connected integrated phone system. There are however a lot of advantages that an office telephone system can offer over some of the alternative choices. Here are some of the advantages an office telephone system can offer:
1. Shared Resources
One of the biggest advantages to having an office telephone system is that all of your workers will be sharing the same voice resource. This means that functions such as transferring calls to one another is a breeze. Functions like these are great for ensuring that a business runs smoothly and efficiently without running into communication issues. Other communications options do not have this option and can result in a lack of fluid communication throughout the workplace and can also seem unprofessional to potential customers.
2. Cost Efficiency
When you own a small business every dollar counts, and office phone systems have shown to be the most cost effective option for communications. Having to pay for individual phones and phone numbers can add up incredibly quickly but an integrated phone system is a great way to cut down on your communications costs and reduce the number of monthly invoices that need processing. Using one phone office system also allows you to better track any charges which seem out of the ordinary to pinpoint if a telephone system is being used for unauthorized phone calls or any other problematic calling patterns.
3. Added Features
There are a few nice features that you’ll find in an office phone system that you won’t be able to find in any of their alternatives. Here’s a list of some of the top features you can find in an office telephone system:
- Voicemail to Email
- Recording and Reviewing Employee Calls
- Transferring to Mobile Phone Numbers
- Music on Hold
- Call Conferencing
- Call Waiting
These are just some of the features you can expect with an office telephone system, but there are many more as well. Contact Network Telecom today if you’d like to learn more about the features you can take advantage of by switching to an office telephone system.
Why you should upgrade your old office phone system
If you are currently using an office phone system in your workplace, depending on how long it’s been installed, you may want to consider an upgrade to a newer system. If you’re using an older Analog system, you’re missing out on a lot of features that are available with newer digital and VoIP systems. The newest VoIP systems are not only great for giving you some amazing new features, but they’re much more cost-effective than their older alternatives. In week three of this series, we’ll be covering a lot more about the differences between these three systems so be sure to check back then for more information.
