The Mistakes Made with Small Business Hosted IP
PBX and Hosted IP telephony

It was only a matter of time before the VoIP service went to small business.
This can be a great asset in both communications and in savings for a small
business.

I did some looking into this technology and I continued to come across some
mistakes made, either in the implementation of the product or just the decision
to use it or not.

These tips that follow may help both with your decision to go with hosted IP
PBX or to better use it and take advantage of the many features and uses.

Some people feel that they do not have the time to research and figure out
this new high tech communications service.

The biggest thing that you will have to do is to just go to the Internet and read
an article on the basics of the VoIP system and how it works.

By understanding the basics you will be able to come to a better decision as to
weather this will be good for your business or not. This will also allow you to
know enough to ask important questions of the service provider.

As with most small business owners, you may so focused on growth that you
are in the dark when it comes to the benefits of having this service for your
business.

Many times, the business owner may be thinking that he is stuck in the long
term contract that he has with AT&T. You need to be aware that these VoIP
providers can offer some of the services as an overlay to your current phone
service.

You can get services like Find Me, Follow Me, Auto Attendant and much more
to enhance the level of service.

Many small business owners tend to underestimate the power of having
Hosted IP telephony.

The first power it has is to save one a large sum of money, even though the
initial outlay may be an expense, the long term benefits are many and long
lasting and can increase productivity immensely.

If in the future the company may need increased bandwidth or new SIP
phones, you will be ready for these features and they can be implemented in a
flash.

As with most people you may not realize that you can save a large amount of
money in communications with Hosted IP telephony.

If you have done any research on this, you will know that you can save up to
50% by moving to a hosted server.

You must realize that when you are already using the Internet in the office,
when you add Internet phone service it will put a strain on your current
capabilities.

By moving to a hosted service you can actually increase your bandwidth and
have room for even more growth.

Here is one thing to be careful of when you do go with a hosted Internet
communications service.

You will have to purchase the SIP phones to use with the new hosted IP PBX
service. Chances are that down the road you will need or want to switch
service.

Not all the phones are transferable or compatible with other services, so make
sure that the phones that you purchase are compatible IP phones so they can
go with the switch without purchasing the equipment again.

When you are doing you’re shopping for hosted IP PBX service or Hosted IP
telephony, make sure you are doing a fair comparison, and make sure the
services are the same.

Do not forget that you may need that extra bandwidth someone is offering you
for a little more per month.

If you outgrow the service you buy into, then what do you do, it is better to look
at the Cost and not just the Price.

Granted, the initial change to a hosted IP telephony service may be an
expense, but if you plan on your business growing, you will want to look at a
little expense today to be ready for tomorrow.

Better to be ahead of the curve on this one than lagging behind. This is just
an investment in the future of your business.
