Telephony

Are your phone bills killing you? Not just in the office, but your out-of-office calls? It is all well and fine that each telephone provider has their own account plans, but you are giving up a lot of flexibility when you have to stick with those. Have you ever tried to cost your telephone usage? Do you have many overseas calls? Have you tried to use Skype to reduce your phone bills?

Have you thought about Internet based telephony (IP)? This is not just for large organisations, you know! We can set you up with location independent telephony, so your people will always get their calls, no matter where they are, at Starbucks, in a hotel room, at a client site. Oh and did you know your bill will be just 10% of your current cost?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you can reduce your overall phone bill by hosting your own telephony solution in the cloud. There are numerous extra benefits from this, including picking up your phone anywhere in the world, hosting your own conference calls, local telephone numbers anywhere etc. This solution saves time and money and gives your communications a sophisticated facelift!

SMS and IM

Have you tried to send the same SMS to more than one recipient at a time? Have you developed your SMS shorthand skills to avoid typing too much on your phone, but find it inappropriate for messages to clients? Have you ever had the need to communicate privately with someone on a conference call - whilst that call was in progress? SMS or IM are both very convenient for this purpose.

In the age of Social Networking short messages rule! Put the power of SMS to use for your business.

Fax

Do you use fax messaging?
