Business Telephone Systems and Equipment
Business Telephone systems come in all shapes and sizes and different systems suit different businesses. At Corporate Choice, the focus is on matching a system to your needs; a Telephone System is a major investment and you want to make sure you get it right.
Common Pitfalls
Overdoing it: Many businesses are talked into buying systems that are too big for their needs. Some of these companies could have saved thousands of dollars by purchasing the right sized system.
Not thinking ahead: On the opposite end of the scale, it is possible to purchase a system that cannot expand with your business. If you think your business is going to grow in the next 5 - 10 years it is important to make sure that the phone system can expand with you. The system will need to be capable of increasing both the number of lines coming in and the number of extensions it can connect.
Keeping up with the times: When purchasing a phone system, it is also important to know whether it is capable of supporting the technologies that will be coming out over the life of the system. Is it limited only to analogue phone lines? Are the cards changeable if you want to change from one kind of line to the other if you move premises? Does your business need a VOIP capable system to future proof it?
Cost of accessories: Some systems can appear to be very cheap until it is revealed that the accessories required to make it work for your business are where the real cost lies. Are additional handsets going to cost the earth? What will it cost to enable the system for voicemail?
Hidden finance traps: Unfortunately the Australian Telecommunications sector has some very unscrupulous players. Some companies base their entire business model on trapping unsuspecting businesses into outrageous finance models that tie companies in for years and costing many thousands of dollars more than the system is worth
