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 business could have very various telecoms requires to another, so you need to consider how you will be using your phone system. Once you identify your small company requirements, you can find a phone system to satisfy them. For that reason, it is essential that you as the client know the types of phone systems readily available and what they can do for your service.

There are two types of small company phone system services readily available 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 standard 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 means whether you have enough bandwidth to take advantage of VoIP & SIP innovation today, Hybrid Systems are 100% NBN all set. Hybrid Phone Systems also enable you to add functions and users as needed.

Another terrific function 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 2nd area, and will automatically link back to the head office phone system. This allows for seamless interaction, with the remote user able to work as if they remained in the office. The Hybrid system also has a mobile phone app (similar to Skype/Whatsapp) that links you to the office from your individual cellphone, anywhere you are.

SpringCom Hosted System

A SpringCom hosted system, also called a Cloud PBX phone system is an IP phone system where all the call are made using the internet. Great bandwidth was generally something only large services could access, but the NBN rollout has opened up numerous chances for our clients, particularly when it concerns small business phone systems.

The "brains" of a SpringCom hosted phone system reside in the cloud, so each handset only needs to be connected to the internet to be part of the phone system. Hosted phone systems are function loaded, and whether you have 1 handset or 1000, you get exactly the exact same features. Many of our small business consumers have actually found them to be really cost effective options since they don't need much, if any in advance investment in hardware.

A excellent function of a hosted system is that as long as an web connection is readily available the area of the handsets is not important. Remote and house users can call from anywhere, using the same contact number as though they were in the main office.

For more on the distinctions between hybrid phone systems and cloud phone systems and which is the very best for you have a look at this look these up post.

The decision is eventually yours, so call our friendly specialists and let us assist you discover the perfect service for your organization.

How will the NBN affect my Small Business Phone System?

NBN voice is the procedure of running VoIP over an NBN web connection. VoIP has actually been around almost a decade, and it runs calls over the internet, much like Skype. To utilise NBN voice you can either utilize a Hybrid PBX, using SIP trunking or a cloud based phone system, which utilizes cloud innovation to make VoIP calls. VoIP calls can operate on NBN and other Fiber connections, and in many cases over ADSL for a little office.

The huge change with the move to the NBN for small workplace phone systems is that you will only require a single internet connection to make and get calls. All of your communications, consisting of call, will run over the web ( through VoIP and SIP) rather than analogue copper phone lines.

Numerous clients have actually been told that they will be required to completely upgrade and revamp their existing analogue phone systems. This is not true. NBN voice can operate on older design phone systems - you just require to purchase an analogue telephone adapter (ATA) to allow this. The ATA adapter sits in between the old phone system and the new NBN internet connection, transforming the data so that your company can run NBN voice.

Speak with our friendly professionals if you have any questions 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 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 weekly depending on the brand.

This cost would include setup, setup and user training. An 8 handset system may cost $30-40 each week. Two times the size does not equate to two times the price. Conversely, hosted options can be a lot more affordable as there is no expensive physical phone system to buy and can begin with just $15 monthly.

What type of phone lines should I have?

There is no one best phone line for every single person. Numerous customers talk about VoIP and SIP as a method to conserve cash, the circumstance differs from office to office. The cash saving aspect of VoIP actually depends on the number of phone lines you have and the type of telephone call you typically 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 just require an web connection to make VoIP calls.

If the NBN is available in your location, then transferring to a Cloud Based PBX and utilizing 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 best option in the meantime, and you can easily migrate to the NBN when it presents in your location.

How many phone lines should my small company have?

The number of phone lines that your small business requirements will differ. Think about how many concurrent telephone call you want to be able to make/receive.

For small businesses where everybody isn't on the phone at the same time, then we normally follow a guide of 3 to one - three handsets, one line, 6 handsets, 2 lines, and so on. For small businesses which need to make a great deal of calls at the same time, such as real estate agents, then each user needs their own line.

If your small business has a lot of inbound call traffic then we recommend getting more phone lines than handsets. Unlike a typical house phone that utilizes Telstra's call waiting service, small business phone systems do not have this feature as requirement. Think of that you have two personnel and just 2 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. Nevertheless, 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 ability to not miss out on a call.

With standard copper phone lines each line gives you the ability to make/receive another call. With a VoIP/SIP Hybrid or Hosted Phone System all your calls will run through a single web connection making it hard to understand what makes up a phone line. In other words, each phone line in your phone system is a SIP license, and to get more phone lines you just require to include more SIP licenses to the phone system. These licenses permit you, the customer, 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 offering a little additional functionality.

Once again, the best phone for you depends on your service needs. If you have a number of people working from another location, or personnel 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 locations should be set into the system by a service technician.

As traditional desk phones there are also cordless phones, however, if they were not developed specifically for your phone system then they will have extremely restricted functionality, which is not ideal 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 options getting the best handsets for your small business phone system can be confusing so give us a call to discuss your needs!
