Today's businesses can have data, email and telecommunications all running across the same wire.
Simply put, most people, and that includes Telephone and Network tech's, don't understand the special needs of a VoIP
phone environment. VoIP is mature protocol set, advance and ready for the real world.
Been in use for years and years, BUT it's a very sensitive set of network protocols.
If you don't have the environment just right, you sound terrible and calls just disappear.
VoIP is a technology that requires a very controlled place to live, Nothing as fun as watching
the phones stop because someone in sales just sent an email with a 35 MB
attachment, which sucked all the available bandwidth for the next 10 minutes. Yep, that's 10 minutes
of more excitement that most people, especially us Network Engineer's can take.
We've setup VoIP with 10 year old telephone systems, and had great voice quality, worked fine.
We've seen VoIP on brand new PBX, brand new network, brand new phones, sounded horrible, why
poor understanding, implementation and installation. Ton's more money, lots of lost calls?
The bottom line is Communications is the lifes blood of most companies.
Changes, upgrades, modifications, additions all need to be planned, scheduled and
executed professionally.
Whether you're moving a phone from one office to another, or all the phones in one office down the
hall to another office, or simply moving to a new building, we can get the job done, quickly, correctly.
- Planning the backbone, cable, phone and data systems.
- Installing or repairing the cable system.
- Installing or configuring Switches, firewalls, wireless access systems or telecommunications equipment.
What about equipment choices?
To make the best choice of equipment, we really need to know a number of things;
Are we upgrading a phone system that doesn't keep up with your business?
Or are we talking about a new building, that needs a phone system?
What are we looking at budget wise?
It doesn't make sense to look at a Shoretel IP system, if you're not willing to spend the
$ 15,000. needed on switches, just to get the project started.
I can't tell you how many times we've watched a company simply state to a client, you need to move to Voip,
no cost or needs analisys, just move???
You're not going to save the money on the cable system moving to Voip, if you've already got the
cable system in the building.
Most of the time, we could have brought in VoIP and used the existing phone system, AND SAVED THEM A TON OF MONEY.
If you're thinking of making changes, upgrades to your communications system, give us a call and let us
give you a hand, planning or moving forward with your project. After all, doesn't it make sense to
pay acouple hundred dollars for a 2nd opion, before you spend thousands on equipment that
wasn't necessary?
