Phone Systems

There’s no point having and paying for a quality business phone system without necessary maintenance.

It is much like buying a Ferrari without insurance, well maybe that’s a bit extreme, but what we’re trying to say here is that if you're paying for a business phone system, to invest in maintenance or care is just plain stupid.

Supporting the health of your business phone system is just important as supporting your own, without it your business productivity is sent into a whirl spin and could seriously cause down time on your day.

Does your current phone system excite you? No? Then you must be seriously undersold.

Between you, your staff and your customers, having a reliable form of communication is probably the most important aspect of a business.

After all, business is built on communication, and although our forsaken phone systems are often seen as the traditional or even ‘out-dated’ communication tool – they are still the first step for any business to conquer in the telecoms realm. Even before your broadband connections.

Phone systems are kind of a big deal, our beloved old-fashioned PBX models have discreetly been vastly evolving along with the rest of technology, and now integrate more than enough modern day features to allow you to sync with your business mobiles or even with your broadband.

Elitetele.com built its business on phone systems, from industry leaders Avaya, Panasonic, Siemens, Toshiba and Swyx, we recognise the importance of offering a variety when it comes to finding reliable phone systems.

With each phone system providing unique attributes, you can benefit from our feature rich services that can be tailor made to fit your business.

Your company could be unnecessarily wasting money simply by not checking regularly to see if they are getting the best deals on their phone systems.

Elitetele.com can provide you with a telephone system whilst also searching for the best package to suit your business needs.

Research carried out by YouGov on behalf of NewVoiceMedia stated that over a third of SME decision makers admitted to not having reviewed their system in the last 12 months, meaning that businesses are potentially missing out on huge savings as the telco market continues to fluctuate.

There is an extensive and exhaustive list of telephone systems that may be beneficial for your company, but there may also be ones detrimental to your business outlook – picking a phone system is much like picking a pair of shoes, you have to find the perfect fit.

The range of phone systems may seem daunting but on a professional level, it is a blessing in disguise as it provides the widest choice to be able to crucially narrow down and tailor the ideal system to your company.

Office phone systems can age just as we do, if you haven’t updated or reviewed your system in the last 12 months then not only could you be playing with your system’s physical health, but you could also be losing money by not properly assessing such a changeable market.

If you don’t have one at all, then the chances are you’re wondering why your business isn’t growing.

Why is it important? The telephone is a common household appliance but business phone systems require more than the ordinary telephone at home.

These phones are specifically geared to handle a large volume of calls from customers, and help your business expand at the same time. So contact Elite Telecom today and see the improvements in your business potential for yourselves.

We’re obviously not referring to the offering of a shoulder to cry on should your phone system be hit with a bout of depression, but more often than not, as much as we hate to admit it through clenched teeth; technology isn’t perfect.

In fact, it can be the total opposite. Through no fault of ours or yours, your phone system may just decide to call it a day. But we won’t let it. We know how important communication is to a business; without communication there is no growth. And if it has lived long past it’s life expectancy then we can also supply you with a brand new phone system.

Businesses may be disrupted at any time, but it’s important to have not only an effective business continuity plan put in place, but as part of this plan, provide a maintance package that covers your office phone system.

Elitetele.com can supply you with a maintenance contract for your phone system, where we will offer not only our soul, but complete back-up and recovery services to ensure minimum loss to your business and avoid the wrath of angry customers.

Companies currently installed with VoIP hardware across their systems as part of an attempt to boost productivity may find that virtualisation could assist with their operations.

Project director at IT body Intellect, Ian Osborne, explained that virtualisation helps businesses in developing more flexible environments in order to adjust their application services in terms of priority.

“Virtualisation is very popular as a way of [making] more efficient use of resources,” he said.

He continued by explaining that this approach would benefit businesses by improving their energy-saving methods.

“If you switch off servers as a result of consolidating your work onto fewer servers, you’re definitely using less power,” he added.

A recent survey polling 544 organisations across the UK, France, Germany as well as the US found that 39.4 per cent of these businesses had virtualised their servers.

CEO and president of Veeam Software, Ratmir Timashev, stated that more firms will hopefully recognise the potential of virtualisation and adapt their IT and phone systems – as well as their possible VoIP solutions – in a way to benefit the move.

What VoIP services do you currently use?  If not, have you considered learning more about the different software and hardware available?  For more information on VoIP, call Elite Telecom – we’d be happy to answer your queries.

A recent study has stressed the need for up-to-date knowledge of IT skills in order to manage data more efficiently.

The National Audit Office found that the IT skills of at least 40 per cent of civil servants employed at the Department for Work and Pensions, Education, Farming and Rural Affairs and the Treasury fared as “fairly or very significant”.

Spending per employee in the furthering of IT skills came to £547, with little evidence to confirm whether or not the training made an impact to the productivity of workers.

At least £275 million was spent by the government on training during the 2009/10 tax year, with contributions towards the salaries of both departmental learning and development staff – however, only 48 per cent of those polled noted minor improvements in carrying out their work duties.

“IT is seen as a non-essential cost so traditionally it is an area the government doesn’t invest a lot in.  But the pay-off of increasing spend on training would be greater efficiency savings,” said Sid Barnes, executive at employment agency Computer People.

Manage your data more effectively by keeping up-to-date with the latest phone systems and unified communications as well as advancing technology trends – by keeping up with the UK’s leading telecommunications provider, Elite Telecom.

Customers of VoIP hardware are part of a growing number of people realising the benefits linked to recycling their old equipment.

According to creative brand manager for Envirofone, Jon Butler, he acknowledged the increasing demand of advertising campaigns and social media as the fundamental contributing factors behind this growing trend.

Whilst he proposed that interest has “certainly” risen across the UK technology customer spectrum, there is currently still “a long way to go before the recycling message gets through to everyone.”

Butler also further explained that the nation is only recycling “a fraction” of their unused electronic gear, including phone systems and business mobiles, however, he confirmed that steps are being taken to improve their environmentally-friendly approach.

This is following a report produced by IT research outfit Gartner, where they found that worldwide IT spending in 2011 is expected to increase at a much higher rate than originally predicted.

Vice president of the organisation Richard Gordon stated his surprise at the results, highlighting the fact that whilst the Japanese tsunami had caused countless financial and technological damage, this natural disaster still could not put a dent in the rate of expenditure within the industry.

Many employees could soon reap the benefits of sustainability of working from home thanks to VoIP technology.

Through the patching of voice over Internet protocol phones to the homes of employees within a virtual network, they can be allocated their own office extension number without customers knowing of their remote location.

This type of system can be especially useful for business such as estate agents where workers are often out of the office showing customers various properties, or engineers who will frequently be out on visits.  By targeting resource consumption, you can save time and money on unnecessary office space and bulky phone systems, and instead reduce costs such as extra employees as well as the additional gas and water bills that would add up if you had a larger workforce.

Programme coordinator for environmental organisation Groundwork Dominic Wood, explained that these types of resources would be perfect for those looking to improve sustainability.

“Begin with legislative obligations, as these reduce liability and the prospect of prosecution,” he said.

“Then look at other areas of the business where improvements can potentially be made.”

Look at other areas of your business and let Elite Telecom help you make those potential improvements.  For a range of bespoke communication solutions, call one of our advisors today.
