IP Phones the Future of Business Telephony

The choice of phone is more important than the choice of your IP PBX solution. Open Standard based phones that operate vendor independently are along-term asset protection. They can be used with any standards based IP-PBX system.

The evolution to VoIP is similar to the shift from mainframe to PC. Phones used to be dumb terminals, now they contain high-end processors and with SIP the phones do all the work. The entire communication protocol and intelligence resides in the phones.

Rethink the brands you know and make sure you get products that have developed their own technology and are proving to be thought leaders and more than just a big producer.

The quality of the software that runs the system and the Telephone User interface (TUI) are the key to your overall satisfaction. Some user interfaces are intuitive and not pleasant to use others are not.

Read more on some of the great new benefits of IP telephony are presence, mobility and the ability to take full control of the call flow.
Presence in a way was first introduced in key systems where the rest of the office could see if someone was busy on the phone. In IP this is available for people working from home or any location world wide if you have the right IP Phones with SIP based LED Busy Line Fields.

Mobility gives people the freedom to take calls anywhere and at any time. You can see who is calling and even during a meeting choose to briefly break and answer a phone calls maybe of someone you need to reach and with whom you have been in phone tag for too long.

Wireless IP phones over Wi-Fi or DECT are the leaders in this space and new DUAL Wi-Fi GSM Cell phones extend the reach of this concept even farther.

Call flow is the killer application since it allows to build follow-me and many other solutions and basically allow companies to redesign the role of the phone system and adjust the call flow to the ideal workflow.
