  3. Telephony is changing The hard truths of business: • Phone systems, as we have known them, will no longer exist in 10 years. • Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) will be the basis for all phones for the next 20 years. • Hosted (Cloud) PBX solutions offer more flexibility than an in-house system. • For small businesses with one location, in-house VoIP systems make sense. • VoIP Phones are expensive (not yet available at Walmart).

  4. Types of VoIP Systems • In-House • High First year Costs per location. • Inexpensive when figured over 5 year life expectancy • Uses the same Internet “lines” that Hosted PBX uses • Hosted • Fixed annual costs, phones can be rolled into monthly payments. • Great for businesses with multiple locations • 99.999% uptime for the phone system.

  5. Things You Should Know • All major Cloud providers either have or will have a Hosted PBX solution by 2014, that includes Microsoft. • When IPv6 is fully implemented in late 2014, Hosted Phones Systems and Voice over Internet will be used more than cellular! • A single Hosted PBX will support IP phones at multiple locations, software phones on a PC or Laptop and APP phones on a smart phone or iPod like device. • Currently Quality of Service (QoS), which is the quality of voice, is similar to Cellular, but when IPv6 is implemented, QoS will be similar if not better than analog phones. • Current “SIP” QoS IP phones may not be compatible with IPv6.

  13. How do we know it will work? “We don’t know if Hosted PBX or VoIP over the Internet will work at your location, we have to do a pre-site survey” • Evaluate your location(s) for high speed Internet availability. • Evaluate your network to see what needs to be done to ensure good voice quality. • Explain the advantages to hosted or in-house to you • Provide you a quote for all options What we will do, for free: • Questions we will ask: • “Can we get a copy of your phone and internet bills for all locations?” • “Can we take pictures of your facility?” • “Can we document the equipment you have?”
