How Cisco Voip phones helped my business?

June 6, 2011 Comments Off

As a business owner who had resisted the need to upgrade my inter-office telephone system for years, making the plunge was something I didn’t do lightly. Further, deciding to go with Cisco voip phones over other, more traditional methods, was something that took some serious consideration. However, once all the benefits were weighed against standard costs for installation, the choice was really quite simple. I wanted a telephone infrastructure that could handle the growing needs of my company, and shift both inter-office and and incoming customer communications to the levels of performance required by future technologies. The answer was, resoundingly, a Cisco voip phone.

Cost

What needs can be met in the world of modern business without a budget concern? Cisco understood the need for my company to operate within the confines of my previous telephone budget, and tailored a plan that built into my existing broadband connections to drastically reduce any pricy installation costs. All this while keeping my monthly costs well within my previous telephone budget by combing my two, previously separate, voice and data plans. It really didn’t make sense to stick with my old telephone infrastructure, with it’s high costs and limited abilities.

Connectivity

Even as an avid internet user, never once did I think of making telephone connections between a customer and my firm on the internet. This has been a huge step in bridging previously standard gaps, and Cisco provided this connection in their simple “click-to-chat” telephone infrastructure. Customers routinely call the office from our website, making free calls and getting placed into easy to manage queues that only a digitally centered telephone architecture could make available.

Mobility

When I mentioned earlier that I saved a lot on installation by using existing broadband connections, I neglected to mention how those same connections ended up allowing my employees to use phones in all the different areas of my business. Places like the conference room were especially nice to have a Cisco voip phone installed, as I could reduce my dependency on expensive broadband voice chat software, and instead use the Cisco products to hold my conference calls. Even areas where phone conversations were once too much of a hassle to have, because of noise, are made easier by utilizing the high definition audio infrastructure provided by a Cisco voip installation. Literally anywhere there is broadband, whether it be a land line or WiFi, I can have a phone. That is unprecedented mobility.
