Business owners always have to search out methods in which to decrease overhead costs. Your Business Phone System is one area in which you can save. Below we have listed a few methods in which you can reduce your Business Phone System maintenance costs.
Power Source
It is vital that you employ a battery backup for your Business Phone System in the even of a power surge or outage. Not only will this enable you to remain operational during those events, but it will preserve your programming and memory. When purchasing your batter backup, be sure to buy one that is large enough for the entire system in order to avoid maintenance costs in the event of a programming loss.
Placement
There are types of office equipment that can inhibit your calls. You should think about where you put your phone in relation to other equipment, like Wi-Fi transmitters and microwaves. If they are too close to your phones, your call quality could suffer.
Power-Over-Ethernet Systems
Power-over-ethernet systems, also called PoE, decreases the cost of your cabling. This is because the foundation for connection and power are merged into one. Furthermore, this type of system also exploits the performance of a single battery backup and diminishes some of the confusion regarding your cabling.
Unified Communications
Merging all of your office’s telecommunications can also help. If you put your email, fax, and voicemail under something like VoIP, it will make the system much more accessible and manageable.
Onsite PBX System
If you install a PBX system onsite, you won’t have to pay a middle man. This way, you can manage your own VoIP system through your own network. This will eliminate your phone bill and integrate your system with your network.
