DCS Telecom Tips on Choosing The Right Telephone Systems For Y | Page 16

Reasons VoIP Phones Make Sense for Small Businesses  No Physical Phone Switches Required On-site  In the past, companies would need to dedicate entire rooms to their phone switching equipment, with large cabinets covering walls and cables running everywhere. Multiple staff members were required to ensure everything ran effectively. Even in these modern times, automated phone switches are relatively complex systems and involve messy cabling and expensive hardware.  Improved Customer Support  New technology means the service providers have young, recently-qualified staff with a fresh perspective on the technology and the customer’s needs. Old phone companies have slow, antiquated hardware to support that takes a long time to fix and change. With new VoIP technology, upgrades and patches can be implemented quickly and efficiently, with no downtime or loss of service.  Better User Experience  VoIP systems provide online interfaces that are familiar to web users, providing quick and easy ways to manage and automate their telephony services. Features like voicemail, call forwarding and contact management can be quickly and easily configured through an online portal.
