Innovation Calling Business Phone Systems play a huge part in office efficiency. They’re the original IT – providing us with near real-time communications, instant messaging services and live chat for over 100 years. But now the internet revolution has reached the reception desk – and new IP-based phone systems offer the potential for flexibility, productivity and growth.

The connection between your fixed phone systems and company growth isn’t always direct and obvious. But when a day without your phone system means a day without orders, customer service, outbound sales, access to suppliers, and support for field staff; the link becomes a lot clearer.

Premise-Based IP Telephony Systems Improvements in computing power and IP network performance have made IP Telephony Systems a lot more intelligent than their switch based ancestors. This is the traditional on-site model for a business telephone system.

The equipment is installed on your premises and connects you with customers, colleagues and suppliers via Telstra’s PSTN and ISDN voice networks. However, modern premise-based IP Telephony Systems can integrate your voice communications with your digital world, so that you can dial contacts directly from a desktop application like MS Outlook, trigger “screen pop-ups” of your customer’s records before answering their call, and share a document or spreadsheet as part of a phone conference.

Please call the Telstra Business Centre Hills on 1300 721 400 to speak with a dedicated Account Manager and remember to tune into next month’s business technology segment

The good news is that the Telstra Business Centre Hills offers many options and, as a trusted business partner, we have the expertise to help you determine which solution will best fit your business – now and into the future.
