What kind of Small Business Phone System is right for you?

There is no 'one size fits all' phone system for small businesses. One small company might have very various telecommunications needs to another, so you need to think about how you will be utilizing your phone system. Once you acknowledge your small business requirements, you can discover a phone system to fulfill them. It is important that you as the consumer are conscious of the types of phone systems offered and what they can do for your service.

There are two kinds of small business phone system solutions offered to you:

Hybrid IP PBX System

A Hybrid phone system provides standard digital or IP handsets with the latest IP technology; enabling you to take advantage of VoIP and SIP. Like traditional phone systems, the "brains" of a Hybrid Phone System lie in a box in your office, and all the handsets link back to this box.

Hybrid Phone Systems work over both the standard copper phone network or the web. This suggests whether or not you have enough bandwidth to benefit from VoIP & SIP innovation today, Hybrid Systems are 100% NBN all set. Hybrid Phone Systems also allow you to add functions and users as needed.

Another great feature of the Hybrid IP system is the ease of use for home/remote users. A Hybrid IP handset can be plugged into the internet at a second area, and will immediately connect back to the head office phone system. This allows for smooth interaction, with the remote user able to work as if they were in the workplace. The Hybrid system likewise has a mobile phone app ( comparable to Skype/Whatsapp) that links you to the workplace from your individual cellphone, anywhere you are.

SpringCom Hosted System

A SpringCom hosted system, also referred to as a Cloud PBX phone system is an IP phone system where all the phone calls are used the internet. Good bandwidth was traditionally something only large businesses might access, however the NBN rollout has opened lots of chances for our customers, especially when it pertains to small business phone systems.

The "brains" of a SpringCom hosted phone system reside in the cloud, so each handset only needs to be linked to the internet to be part of the phone system. Hosted phone systems are feature loaded, and whether you have 1 handset or 1000, you get exactly the same features. A lot of our small company consumers have actually discovered them to be really cost effective solutions since they do not require much, if any upfront financial investment in hardware.

A terrific feature of a hosted system is that as long as an web connection is readily available the place of the handsets is not important. Remote and home users can call from anywhere, utilizing the exact same contact number as though they remained in the main office.

How will the NBN impact my Small Business Phone System?

NBN voice is the procedure of running VoIP over an NBN internet connection. VoIP has been around nearly a years, and it runs calls online, similar to Skype. To utilise NBN voice you can either utilize a Hybrid PBX, utilizing SIP trunking or a cloud based phone system, which utilizes cloud technology to make VoIP calls. VoIP calls can work on NBN and other Fiber connections, and in many cases over ADSL for a small workplace.

The big modification with the transfer to the NBN for little office phone systems is that you will only need a single internet connection to make and get calls. All of your communications, including telephone call, will run over the internet ( by means of VoIP and SIP) instead of analogue copper phone lines.

Numerous clients have actually been informed that they will be required to completely update and upgrade their current analogue phone systems. This is not true. NBN voice can run on older style phone systems - you merely require to acquire an analogue telephone adapter (ATA) to enable this. The ATA adapter sits in between the old phone system and the new avaya phone system support NBN internet connection, transforming the information so that your company can run NBN voice.

Just how much are Phone Systems?

The cost of a small company phone system actually depends on the type of system, brand and the number of handsets. With Infiniti you can purchase outright, lease or lease. If you're getting a Hybrid option then a 4 handset system could start as low as $20-30 each week depending on the brand.

This expense would include setup, setup and user training. An 8 handset system may cost $30-40 each week. So twice the size does not equate to twice the rate. Conversely, hosted services can be a lot cheaper as there is no expensive physical phone system to purchase and can start from just $15 per month.

What kind of phone lines should I have?

There is nobody best phone line for every single individual. Although lots of customers discuss VoIP and SIP as a method to conserve cash, the scenario varies from workplace to office. The money saving element of VoIP really depends on the number of phone lines you have and the type of phone calls you usually make. With a Hybrid system, you can have a mix of copper and VoIP lines. With a Cloud PBX system, all your calls run over the internet so you simply require an internet connection to make VoIP calls.

If the NBN is available in your area, then transferring to a Cloud Based PBX and using VoIP to make your calls is the way foward for your company. If the NBN is not offered a Hybrid option utilizing conventional copper phone lines may be the best choice for now, and you can quickly move to the NBN when it presents in your location.

How many phone lines should my small company have?

The variety of phone lines that your small business requirements will vary. Think about how many concurrent phone calls you wish to have the ability to make/receive.

For small businesses where everyone isn't on the phone at the same time, then we normally follow a guide of 3 to one - three handsets, one line, six handsets, two lines, and so on. For small companies which need to make a great deal of calls at the same time, such as property agents, then each user requires their own line.

If your small company has a lot of inbound call traffic then we suggest getting more phone lines than handsets. Unlike a common home phone that utilizes Telstra's call waiting service, small company phone systems do not have this function as requirement. Imagine that you have two personnel and just two phone lines. Now, if both staff are presently making/receiving calls and another call comes through, the call is going to get through to an engaged tone. If you have 3 lines, the call will go through to the voicemail on the other line. By having a minimum of two lines you have the capability to not miss a call.

With traditional copper phone lines each line offers you the capability to make/receive another call. With a VoIP/SIP Hybrid or Hosted Phone System all your calls will go through a single web connection making it tough to comprehend what makes up a phone line. Simply put, each phone line in your phone system is a SIP license, and to get more phone lines you simply require to add more SIP licenses to the phone system. These licenses allow you, the consumer, to have concurrent VoIP calls.

Should I have IP phone handsets or digital ones?

The main difference in between a digital and IP handset is that a digital handset is a fraction less expensive than an IP handset. Both handsets have comparable functions, with IP handsets offering a little additional functionality.

Once again, the right phone for you depends on your business requirements. If you have a number of individuals working remotely, or staff tend to move the handsets around the workplace, then IP handsets are right for you, as they automatically re-register back into the system when plugged in. With digital handsets, the handset sockets and places should be programmed into the system by a specialist.

As standard desk phones there are likewise cordless phones, however, if they were not created specifically for your phone system then they will have very restricted functionality, which is not perfect for service! There is another solution - soft phone apps. A soft phone app is an app similar to Skype that can be set up on your computer. Soft phone apps have all the performance of premium handsets without the requirement for hardware.

With all of these alternatives getting the ideal handsets for your small company phone system can be confusing so give us a call to discuss your needs!
