Choosing a Polycombusiness phone system can be a daunting chore. Whether you're a small business just entering the market, or a large business upgrading to a new and feature rich Polycom PBX, the choices have never been wider and the options have never been more impressive.
You should ask yourself some questions: What sort of internet connectivity does your business phone system need? Would you benefit more from having it on site, or having a third party host it? Will you need to have your service handle multiple physical locations, and possibly forward calls to cell phones or other remote locations?
Answering some of these questions can be vital to finding the perfect fit for your business, and its PBX. To help you find those answers, here's some food for thought...
You really have to be prepared for anything, to run a successful business. It is a bit ironic to be considering cutting edge business phone systems, and realise that it's going to be driven by a power supply from a power grid engineered to the needs of the last century. An worse, a modern computerised system can be brought to its knees by a power outage. Luckily many modern PBX systems come replete with their own integrated UPS (uninterruptible power supply") to prevent this from stopping your communications. Even in the event of a blackout, the hub of your communications will be left unscathed.
Modern software has seen a flood of high quality open-source development, and the PBX market is no exception. The "Asterisk" project is a suite of high powered, feature rich software PBX tools, very popular with many businesses. The software runs on a standard PC, along with specialized interface cards to connect you to the outside phone system (including everything from standard phone lines, through ISDN or T1 lines.) Features are rich, including robo-dialing, auto-operator menu systems, voicemail, voice over IP, and much more.
Of course this doesn't come without downsides. You'll either need to administer all of this yourself, or hire an expert to setup and administer the system for you. With the full features of the suit, also comes a sometimes difficult and time consuming process of installing it.
Making sure your business's telephone system is up to snuff is a crucial factor in ensuring your business's ability to communicate and survive. Delving into the features provided by today's PBX systems is exciting and can bring huge rewards in terms of increasing your business's capabilities, productivity, and overall ability to communicate, whether it be with customers, or inter-office communications.
