From internal communications between employees, to collaboration with remote branches, to incoming calls from clients or customers, the backbone of a business phone system is their PBX, or "Private Branch Exchange." From the rudimentary days of the old plug-in, manually operated switchboard systems, to the modern computer controlled business phone systems of today - it's more than just a means of communication - the PBX is how your business stays relevant in a fast paced business world. Let's have a look at what it takes to bring this technology into your company, or upgrade its existing system.
The first step you'll need to take is to enumerate the phone system needs of your business. With the huge array of options out there, you don't want to get blindsided by unforeseen necessities in the future, after your system is entrenched in your business. The business environment is constantly on the move, you want a PBX that can expand and grow with your needs.
Employee salaries are the price of doing business. However, paying someone just to answer phones, or taking time away from an otherwise skilled employee to perform this menial task is really a waste of funds. You'll be glad to know that most of the same features can be taken care of by many of the business phone systems these days, both cheaper, and better than a human. At the most basic level, these "Auto Attendant" features includes options such as allowing the caller to navigate a (potentially huge) menu system, reach specific extensions or access information recordings. Now if only they had a PBX that will brew a pot of coffee...
Having your phone system perform automated tasks can save you time and money. Auto-dialing provides a means for the system to place calls (and more) all on it's own. At the most basic level, many of us associate PBX auto-dialing with robo-calls, or telemarketing. However, the systems can do much more than that, with tasks like sending text messages to cell phones automated for informative personal, departmental, or company-wide alerts and notices. Recordings or messages can be delivered as well, and many packages even provide text to speech for reading messages to the recipient, such as crucial e-mails, news or stock alerts, and more.
Cisco Systems have the reputation for being one of the leaders in networking for years now. Having been known as one of the "four horsemen of the internet," for their powerful and stable routing devices, the same attention to detail is apparent in their PBX systems. With a focus on security and stability, they are a popular choice among many businesses, large and small.
The Cisco "Unity" line are one of the more interesting offerings on the market these days. The devices focus on providing expandability and flexibility at many business sizes, and for meeting a wide variety of needs. They also bring budget PBX power to the market with their SPA-400 and SPA-9000 which can work in conjunction to provide a wide range of features on a small business budget.
Modernizing your current system, or installing your first, it doesn't matter. Upgrading your business phone system to harness the power of the current offerings is a no-brainer. Delving into the features provided by today's PBX systems a huge edge in today's competitive world.
