Which business phone system should our company buy?

A new breed of business phone systems is evolving to meet the specific needs of small businesses.   Until now, the options available to start-ups and organisations with less than 20 people, have been limited.  At one extreme a costly but professional, fixed-line system and at the other,  a mobile or single land-line.  However the market is changing thanks to internet-based or VoIP (Voice over Internet protocol) systems.

Many people are familiar with consumer VoIP systems such as Skype but so far the call quality and outages have made them too unreliable for business use.   In comparison, Hosted VoIP, from a provider such as Panther Telecom, provides small businesses with high-level call quality, thanks to a dedicated network.  It also provides all the functionality of a switch-board at a mere fraction of the cost of a traditional hardware PBX.

The web based control panel allows each user to manage the features of their own phone system, including specifying functionality and adding new users as the company grows.  Any software updates, including new features are done automatically.

The internet is fundamentally changing the way we live.  Hosted VoIP will help improve the power of phone systems for small businesses; enabling affordable switchboard-functionality for even the smallest of enterprises.
