Yes! We can and we routinely do, saving our clients money and increasing their flexibility with a focus on remote and mobile workers. This has been extremely important in light of recent world events and the resulting need for reliable communications for remote workers and telecommuters.
Can we BYOP (bring your own phone) on a new installation?
We can help you source phones, provide advice on hardware you may already own, or provide phones to you as a part of a complete cloud PBX package. With Open Source solutions & VoIP Citadel we will help you avoid ‘Vendor Lock’ while maintaining scalability and maximizing ROI.
Can we use our Analog phones on a IP phone system?
Additional hardware will be required to get your VoIP PBX to work with analog devices, after which the phones will function just like any other IP phone on your PBX. Contact us today to find out if we can integrate your analog devices with your premise or hosted phone system!
Why should I Use Asterisk instead of A NEC/Toshiba/Panasonic Key phone system?
The primary reason is because you will avoid ‘vendor lock’. There are ample resources for Asterisk assistance in the USA and you are not locked into any particular vendor or brand with Asterisk. That includes the VoIP phones, TDM hardware, the network and associated support, etc. You also have no licenses or renewals to contend with, further realizing increased ROI.
Can you help us prepare our network for a VoIP implementation?
The network on which your VoIP system is going to reside needs to be prepared for the voice traffic that will be traversing it. This is one of the most commonly over looked and costly occurrences when implementing a VoIP phone system. There are multiple caveats likely when voice is present on your data network; let us help you meet your implementation deadline without the anxiety and lost productivity of a failed installation!
We have a unique situation presenting special challenges, can you help?
