Voice over IP
It’s all in the network
In the old days, a direct connection was made via copper wire between 2 phones. Then came digital
dialing and calling, and today, voice goes over the accepted network standard, TCPIP. It’s cheaper to
connect, requires less wire in the walls, and makes many aspects of phone management easier.
Have It Hosted
There are basically 2 models of VOIP. One is a
HOSTED sollution, where are your PABX
functions such as Voicemail, Auto attendants,
Ring groups, and Call forwarding are
configured and run elsewhere, through the
internet
Service on this model can vary from mediocre
to good, to bad. Most companies want a
contract to provide such a service, so one can
get tied down into a situation where It is
difficult to change vendors if there service level
decreases.
Own it.
The other is to own your own PABX equipment
LOCALLY and the only thing provided through
the internet is a “Sip Trunk” , which means
“phone number”. Dataguys specialises in the
second model for the following reasons:
•
Tech support is local (It’s us)
•
Customisation is full-featured, and not
“pay per feature”
•
There is less chance of “Vendoritis” (a
Sitiuation where two companies blame
each other for a problem, and
resolution becomes very difficult)
•
Clients can customize their own systems
if they want.
