The Preachers

The increase in Internet speeds and the savings made on the monthly telecommunications bill are arousing the enthusiasm of businesses. Security, infrastructure, and real cost are parameters that you need to consider when you question or choose your current phone system. Here are benefits for organizations to choose or migrate to Yealink T21P-E2 IP Phone Redstar Africa Networks :

Reduced invoice

Thanks to the advantageous cost of VoIP, IP telephony offers real savings for businesses.

Investment for tomorrow

The IP-PBX business telephony market has already surpassed that of the PBX traditional automatic branch exchanges. Switching to a telephone exchange operating on an IP network is, therefore, a strategic choice for the future.

Mobility gains

With telephones that are no longer physically connected to lines, IP telephony allows the user to keep his number on the go. You can even work from home by viewing the office number. No more customer calls on your personal cell phone, outside of office hours, when customers are panicking.

Increased flexibility

IP telephony brings together all the company’s devices like telephones, videoconferencing, fax, computers, etc. on the same network and therefore on the same protocol.

Same network cabling

Sometimes wiring costs can weigh heavily on the scales. Most telephones offer a second network port on the back, which allows you to use a second cable to power your computer on the same network. So basically you use your computer network wire in your phone and another phone wire that goes into your computer.

The most popular functions

IP telephony offers a range of interesting and practical functions: recording calls, diverting calls via the phone, sending messages left in the mailbox by email, possibility of bridges between 2 or more branches, viewing call statistics inbound and outbound, fax integration with email reception, cell phone forwarding with or without schedule and much more.

What you need to know before migrating

The massive arrival of providers in the IP telephony market offers businesses a wide and increasingly competitive choice. It is the upgrade of your network that should determine the migration. An IP-PBX device allows you to make Internet telephony (VoIP), unlike a conventional PBX device using the traditional PSTN (switched telephone network).

Before making your choice, you should, therefore, perform a return on investment calculation taking into account:

• The existing telephone fleet
• The cost of maintenance (licenses)
• The cost of canceling lines at the supplier (50% monthly remaining)

When are the best times to migrate?

Depending on the real needs of your business, different arguments can argue in favor of or against an IP telephony solution. The primary advantage lies in improving the organization of work, but the sustainability of investments remains a major parameter that must be taken into account. Here are the best times to choose or migrate to IP telephony:

• When starting a business
• During a move
• At the end of a contract with a traditional telephone service
• When the company needs to renovate its IT infrastructure
• When the system in place no longer works
• Simply to take advantage of the new features

Any migration requires the acquisition of new phones. Which one to choose?
