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

There is no 'one size fits all' phone system for small businesses. One small company could have extremely different telecommunications needs to another, so you need to think about how you will be using your phone system. When you acknowledge your small business needs, you can discover a phone system to satisfy them. For that reason, it is very important that you as the consumer are aware of the types of phone systems available and what they can do for your business.

There are 2 kinds of small company phone system options readily available to you:

Hybrid IP PBX System

A Hybrid phone system uses traditional digital or IP handsets with the current IP innovation; 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 workplace, and all the handsets connect back to this box.

Hybrid Phone Systems work over both the conventional copper phone network or the internet. This indicates whether you have enough bandwidth to benefit from VoIP & SIP technology today, Hybrid Systems are 100% NBN prepared. Hybrid Phone Systems likewise allow you to include functions and users as required.

Another terrific feature of the Hybrid IP system is the ease of use for home/remote users. A Hybrid IP handset can be plugged into the web at a 2nd place, and will automatically connect back to the head office phone system. This enables smooth interaction, with the remote user able to work as if they were in the office. The Hybrid system also has a cellular phone app (similar to Skype/Whatsapp) that connects you to the workplace from your personal smart phone, anywhere you are.

SpringCom Hosted System

A SpringCom hosted system, likewise called a Cloud PBX phone system is an IP phone system where all the telephone call are used the internet. Excellent bandwidth was traditionally something only large services could access, however the NBN rollout has actually opened lots of chances for our clients, specifically when it pertains to small company phone systems.

The "brains" of a SpringCom hosted phone system reside in the cloud, so each handset just requires to be linked to the internet to be part of the phone system. Hosted phone systems are function packed, and whether you have 1 handset or 1000, you get precisely the same features. A number of our small business clients have actually discovered them to be very cost effective solutions because they don't require much, if any upfront investment in hardware.

A great feature of a hosted system is that as corporate phone systems for business long as an internet connection is offered the place of the handsets is trivial. Remote and house users can call from anywhere, using the exact same contact number as though they were in the main office.

The choice is ultimately yours, so call our friendly specialists and let us help you discover the perfect option for your organization.

How will the NBN affect my Small Business Phone System?

NBN voice is the process of running VoIP over an NBN web connection. VoIP has been around practically a decade, and it runs calls over the internet, just like Skype. To use 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 some cases over ADSL for a small workplace.

The huge modification with the relocate to the NBN for small workplace phone systems is that you will just require a single internet connection to make and receive calls. All of your interactions, consisting of telephone call, will run over the web (via VoIP and SIP) rather than analogue copper phone lines.

Many clients have been told that they will be needed to totally update and overhaul their present analogue phone systems. This is not real. NBN voice can run on older style phone systems - you just require to acquire an analogue telephone adapter (ATA) to allow this. The ATA adapter sits between the old phone system and the new NBN web connection, converting the data so that your organization can run NBN voice.

Speak with our friendly professionals if you have any concerns about how the NBN will affect your small business phone system.

How much are Phone Systems?

The expense of a small business phone system really depends upon the kind of system, brand and the number of handsets. With Infiniti you can purchase outright, lease or lease. If you're getting a Hybrid solution then a 4 handset system might start as low as $20-30 per week depending on the brand.

This cost would consist of setup, setup and user training. An 8 handset system may cost $30-40 each week. Twice the size doesn't equate to two times the cost. Alternatively, hosted solutions can be a lot less expensive as there is no costly physical phone system to buy and can begin with just $15 each month.

What type of phone lines should I have?

There is no one best phone line for each person. Numerous consumers talk about VoIP and SIP as a method to conserve cash, the circumstance differs from workplace to workplace. The cash conserving aspect of VoIP truly depends upon how many phone lines you have and the kind of phone calls you normally 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 web so you just need an internet connection to make VoIP calls.

If the NBN is offered in your location, then relocating to a Cloud Based PBX and using VoIP to make your calls is the method foward for your organization. If the NBN is not available a Hybrid service using traditional copper phone lines may be the very best alternative for now, and you can quickly move to the NBN when it rolls out in your area.

How many phone lines should my small business have?

The number of phone lines that your small company needs will vary. Think about the number of 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 three to one - three handsets, one line, six handsets, 2 lines, and so on. For small companies which need to make a great deal of calls simultaneously, such as realty agents, then each user needs their own line.

If your small company has a great deal of incoming call traffic then we suggest getting more phone lines than handsets. Unlike a typical house phone that utilizes Telstra's call waiting service, small company phone systems do not have this function as requirement. Envision that you have two personnel and just 2 phone lines. Now, if both personnel are presently making/receiving calls and another call comes through, the call is going to get through to an engaged tone. Nevertheless, if you have 3 lines, the call will go through to the voicemail on the other line. By having a minimum of 2 lines you have the capability to not miss out on a call.

With traditional copper phone lines each line provides 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 understand what makes up a phone line. Put simply, each phone line in your phone system is a SIP license, and to get more phone lines you simply need to add more SIP licenses to the phone system. These licenses permit you, the consumer, to have concurrent VoIP calls.

Should I have IP phone handsets or digital ones?

The main distinction in between a digital and IP handset is that a digital handset is a portion less expensive than an IP handset. Both handsets have equivalent features, with IP handsets providing a little extra functionality.

Again, the best phone for you depends upon your service requirements. If you have a variety of individuals working from another location, or staff tend to move the handsets around the workplace, then IP handsets are right for you, as they instantly re-register back into the system when plugged in. With digital handsets, the handset sockets and areas must be set into the system by a professional.

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

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