Ever wonder what's really behind all the hype and the interest in these new IP Telephony systems anyway?  Is there some kind of "killer-app" feature you get with an IP Telephony system that you just didn't get with your old PBX and phones?  When you stop and think about it for a moment, the answer to the question is actually directly related to the very technology on which these new systems are based.  And that is IP.

What is the primary protocol used by the fastest growing network to ever crisscross the face of the planet?  Internet Protocol (IP).  And if this more intelligent network is now almost everywhere, then YOU can be anywhere.  This is why just about everyone who has used them almost always agrees that one of the best features you get with these IP based systems, is the simple ability for your employees to now plug their IP phones into virtually any broadband connection, and work from any location at home or on the road, just as if they were working at their desks in the office, without anyone knowing the difference.  There's a name for the practice of working this way.  It's called Teleworking.  An old and familiar name.  And a practice that for many years was often only partially embraced, even when it was the obvious solution.  The reason?  More often than the problem of nervous managers, was the fact that the pieces of equipment and Telco circuit services that used to be needed to make it work properly, usually ended up being either too expensive or too specialized to make it all worthwhile.  With IP Telephony systems, most of these problems simply no longer exist.

The point is there's definitely a future in Teleworking.  And a profitable future for your organization as well, if you start taking the steps now to get with the program.  So, if you would like to save yourself both the time and the money by taking advantage of experts with experience who have been working this way themselves for over 15 years now, then give us a call.  Whether it's for an enterprise solution, an individual Teleworking evangelist or SOHO businessperson, we can help.

We've already spent the time, made most of the mistakes and have finally discovered which phones will work best, both wired and wireless, with headsets and without.  Which messaging systems and services to try.  Which secure remote access hardware or software, and the best network services to use.  And which to avoid.  Which reporting and management programs to look at, and even how best to set up your home-office workspace from furniture and filing, to lighting and wiring, and everything else in between.
