VoIP Business Systems

At my last office job, I was the director of the art department. Since we were a smaller business, though, I was pulled in on just about every decision that was made for anything technology related. I remember when we shopped around for a new phone system and all of the equipment we bought, the multiple data lines coming in, and the servers in the control room. It was a massive undertaking and way more expensive in the end than we had ever expected. I learned more than I ever thought I would about business communications systems.

I look at things like the Packet8 Virtual Office package in absolute awe! Seriously, it makes me cringe to think about how far technology has come and how much easier everything would have been at the office if this sort of option had been available. As technologically advanced as things seemed all those years ago, we are light years ahead even now.

Packet8 is a full system that operates on an existing broadband connection. Business VoIP simply was not an option introduced to me when I was doing all that footwork to find a more efficient system for our business. VoIP, in general, was something just being improved upon at that time. T1 lines were what everyone wanted to sell me. As long as you have a business class telephone and Packet8 broadband phone adapter, then there is no software to install, and everything can be set up on your own –without brining in an expensive technician. Phones, email, fax lines, an auto attendant and varied voicemail – these are just some of the things you can add to you business with your current broadband connection. In fact, you can run a call center with this same system. All of that and from looking at their pricing options, I would say we could have done everything for about a 10th of what we used to spend.
