Phone Systems in BusinessIn today’s fast-paced and highly technological world, there are many business tools that are being “phased out”.

Evolution is affecting your business phone system. In fact, experts have projected that within the next 10 years, traditional landlines may be completely extinct. Is your business phone system ready to survive this transition? Or do you need to make some changes?

Here are 5 of the most common signs that you need to update your business phone system.

1. Lack of scalability - Growing your business is a natural objective, therefore your business phone system should not hold you back in terms of corporate expansion. If your phone system is unable to accommodate the addition of more extensions or users, it is time to make a communications upgrade.

2. Inability to handle call volume – A successful and growing business can expect that its number of both incoming and outgoing phone calls will increase in volume over time. As a result, this may give rise to an increase in congestion within your network and possibly reducing capacity on your local services. If this is a problem you may need to start searching for a new business phone system.

Voice Over Internet Protocol3. Incompatible with VoIP telephony – Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the way of the future in terms of business and personal communications. This technology can have significant savings in terms of long-distance phone calls between the branches of your company or to non-local clients. It also supports cost-efficiency in other areas when properly implemented. If your current business phone system is not supportive of VoIP telephony, you are missing on the opportunity to enjoy more convenient and less expensive communications.

4. No multi-office support feature – Whether your business already has satellite offices or if you are planning to open other branches, it is crucial that your business phone system is supportive of multiple offices. Adding and managing phone line extensions to remote locations should not be an overwhelming, tedious, or costly task. If your current phone system is not able to treat the management of these extensions as easily as if they were on-site, you should definitely consider updating.

5. Unsupportive of mobile communications – In the modern business, there are a great deal of employees who are not always present within the actual office environment, yet still need to be able to communicate with customers. The majority of these employees will be supplied a mobile phone for making calls, but these mobile devices can be integrated into your current business phone system; allowing immediate transfer of calls. If you can’t work mobile devices into your network, it’s time for a new phone system.
