No matter how large or small your company’s profit margin is, you want to cut unnecessary costs wherever you can. All businesses require a Business Phone System; you can’t simply remove your telecommunications system from your company. However, there are ways to trim unnecessary expenses surrounding your system. Depending on your type of system, you may have noticed that maintaining it costs more than you like. Should it really be that expensive to maintain your Business Phone System? Does it really require all of these repairs? Not necessarily; here are some ways you can cut out unnecessary repair costs:
Maintenance Prevention
While you don’t want to incur repair costs, you also don’t want your Business Phone System to go down. Suffering an outage is arguably more detrimental; our workday is so tied to our phones that losing them can lead to a severe downturn in profits. The best of both world worlds would be to enjoy a high uptime without having to suffer high repair costs. Luckily, there are some prevention strategies that can yield this exact result.
Backup Power Generator
You should definitely use some sort of backup power generator. Not only can an unexpected power outage leave you without phones, but it could also wipe their memories. Trying to restore memory can prove expensive or even impossible in some cases. Using a generator can save you a lot in repair costs.
Local Interference
Cordless phones use the same frequency as Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, so do Bluetooth devices, which can present issues. Putting all of these devices in the same location can cause interference, which could lead to your phone system malfunctioning.
Unified Communications
It might be a good idea to consider Unified Communications (UC). UC combines VoIP phones with other communications technology. Not only is this often cheaper, but it cuts down on network wiring. This in turn cuts down on maintenance and repair costs. In the event that you do require maintenance, because everything (including Wi-Fi) is connected, maintenance can often be done remotely.
