Is Voip Right for your Business?

Is VoIP right for your business?

Before jumping right into a business VoIP solution, it’s best to look at your company and its needs. Consider the following statements;

1. My company has a reliable high speed internet connection and would like to lower phone bills.
2. We make expensive long distance phone or international calls and want to minimise costs.
3. I need flexibility to grow or reduce users without incurring significant cost.
4. I want flexibility to move my phone service, while keeping my phone number, without additional fees.
5. I like the convenience of taking my phone number with me as I travel.
6. My business needs basic phone service features such as extension dialling, choice of area code, voicemail, caller ID and more.
7. I would like to have a call history of inbound and outbound calls.
8. My business needs the power of big company call management features without the high cost of their phone systems such as conference calling, call recording, and voicemail to email notifications.
9. My business needs an auto attendant/IVR system to answer and route calls.
10. We don’t have an IT person to manage an intricate phone system.

Before we provide a full quotation for your VoIP phone system, we will need to check the performance of your existing ADSL line to ensure it is suitable for a VoIP. In most cases we will recommend a new dedicated ADSL line is installed.

Other considerations we will need to take and questions:

• Do you know your existing call costs/rental etc?
• How many handsets do you require in total?
• How many phone numbers do you have?
• How many lines would one person need to handle?
• Are there any numbers that go direct to specific users?
• Is your current system Analogue or ISDN?
• Do you have a separate fax that you want to include?
• Do you have an existing Analogue line that we can put ADSL/VoIP on?
• Would you like failover to ISDN/Analogue/3G/Mobile?
• Do you have any users in remote offices or at home?
• Do you call international numbers regularly?
• Do you call mobiles regularly?
• Do users require headsets?
• Phones can be powered by POE or by mains plug, is POE required?
• Phones will work through existing CAT5, is that ok or is separate cabling required?
