There are alot of things you need to take into consideration when shopping for a phone system. Here are the main points you need to know:
- How many phone LINES do you have/need? The more incoming calls you have, the more LINES you will need
- How many EXTENSIONS / PHONES do you need? Does every employee need their own extension or can some of them share?
- Do you need CALLER ID information? This is VERY important to which phone system you can use because not all of them have caller id
- Do you need an Automated Receptionist (Auto-Attendant)?
AND Finally,
- Do you need Voicemail? Does every employee need their own mailbox or can you use general "department" mailboxes?
With these details in mind, you are better prepared to make an educated decision. And less prone to wasting critical funds on equipment that you will not use. No you are ready to start shopping!!
office equipment, you need to know what type of equipment is going to be useful to you. Telecommunications equipment is very expensive, and you wouldn't want to waste precious company funds on a piece of equipment that you're not going to use. Every company has there own way of doing things, and there own specific business model. For Example; If your running a call center that's taking heavy incoming calls, you may not need CallerID on those lines. If you do not need caller ID on these lines, your going to save $200-$1500 on the total system cost. However, if you have a Company that relies heavily on it's voicemail system, you may need a more advanced voicemail system that will offer more ports for access.
