BUSINESS PHONE SOLUTIONS FOR ORGANISATIONS ON THE MOVE

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Mobile tools are becoming a key component of business strategy and the mobility of an organization’s business phone system has a direct impact on efficiency and productivity.
Following is a very brief overview at some of the advantages of a mobile business telephone system.
Improved productivity and efficiency
Conventional PABX systems can have limitations which can restrict employees’ ability to deliver exceptional customer service.They’re unable to function optimally which will compromise service delivery.  With a cordless business phone system, staff can be contacted at any time.They can make quick decisions, answer queries promptly and generally improve the way they go about their business which means a better business as a whole.  Mobility is a crucial tool in getting your business on the road to success as it can enable freedom of movement and round-the-clock accessibility.
Improved service
Service is another key driver of success in today’s competitive environment.Customers expect superior service – all the time.  If they don’t get what they want from your company, they’ll look elsewhere.The right tools are required if staff are to deliver exceptional service.   With wireless business phone systems, staff can also contact other members of staff quickly and efficiently to answer queries or problems, making the flow of information seamless and far more effective.
Freedom of movement
Wireless solutions also ensure total coverage of premises.  This is especially important where staff are required to move between various areas and where the nature of their work makes them difficult to locate eg. warehouse staff or messengers. Mobile solutions are also most effective in areas where wired PABXs can’t reach effectively – such as factories, department stores and hospitals.
Users can move around freely without fear of dropping a call or being unavailable, with base stations strategically placed to ensure total coverage.Incoming calls to the DECT number are rerouted automatically to the handset of the staff member, wherever they are, so that they are always contactable.
Ease of integration
A cordless telephone option can be integrated with ease into existing business phone systems.Often all that is required is add-on products.
Mobile solutions also don’t require large amounts of cabling which is another benefit.Given that a business can spent up to twenty per cent of the cost of its PABX on wiring, installation of cordless technology can have a meaningful impact on cost containment.
Administrative benefits
When moving offices, employees need not change their extension numbers and the whole system won’t need reprogramming.Cost savings are also realized as business cards, stationery and telephone lists etc don’t have to be reprinted when there’s an office reshuffle.
Rejigging your business phone system could be just the ticket to accelerate some positive changes for your organization.  If you’re going places, go mobile.

Cleartel’s Local Business Phone Service

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Cleartel has switch away from offering local phone service to residential customers, and is now only offering service to business customers only. The move is a good one for them, as they were loosing money on their rsidential customers, who tended to have bad debt issues.

I checked local service for a customer in Illinois this morning, and Cleartel came back with pretty good rates. Cleartel was offering two local business plans to choose from. The first plan offered unlimited local calling, plus 2 phone features, for $29.95 per month. The second plan let you add 2000 minutes of monthly long distance to the service to the first plan for only $10.00 per month more, for a total monthly rate of $39.95.

Check for local business phone service rates in your area at Cleartel’s Website.
