Upgrading Phone Systems during an Office Relocation
Upgrading your Business Phone Systems - what to look for
There's lots to think about when planning an IT Relocation to ensure that productivity is not affected throughout the office relocation, and that all business phones are up, running and working on the first morning in the new office.
Some companies use an office relocation as an opportunity to review their business phone systems in order to upgrade to the latest technology, improve productivity - or simply to save on costs. If you have decided to change your business phones before you move office, there are some things for you to consider in order for you to select the right phone system for your business:
Durability
A business phone system needs to withstand years of continuous use, so it needs to be durable and functional. You don't want to skimp on a phone system that will need to be replaced again sooner rather than later.
Multiple Features & Functions
It should provide a variety of functions and integrate with your mobile phones and IT systems.
A well-known manufacturer
Choose a recognisable manufacturer, and if it's a brand you haven't heard of, do your research to check whether it has a good track record for business use.
Affordability
Whilst it may be tempting to go for the cheapest product, more often than not, you get what you pay for. More importantly, when it comes to affordability, you should be looking at saving money on your overall business phone bills, and closely consider cost versus productivity.
User-Friendly
Choose a device that is easy-to-use and easy to handle so that staff can operate it without any major training issues. Remember to train your staff on how to use it before you move office so as to avoid any delay when you arrive at the new office.
Choosing a new phone system for your business can be a daunting and complicated task. We strongly recommend you take independent advice from an IT & Telecoms Company if you are considering reviewing your business phones. They will select a range of systems that will be compatible with your business structure and new office environment.
