The Best Phone System For Small Business Is Worth Every Penny

by John Ciarlone on June 19, 2013

small business phone systemsThe key to getting ahead in small business may simply lie in frugality: Who can make the most
of the limited resources available to a budding entrepreneur? You never have remotely enough money for everything you want (or perhaps need), so what you do buy needs to bring the most benefits possible, in the most ways.

When looking for new small business phone systems, you're making more than just a purchase. It's an infrastructure investment, and should be treated as such. Going forward into the 21st century, our communications and our businesses are going to be woven ever more tightly together.

Short on time? Download our free guide to buying a new phone system. 

The best phone system for small business is the one that brings you the most value for money today, and for as many years as possible to come. That's why we recommend ADTRAN when small businesses come to us for networking.

ADTRAN began solely as a networking company, created by unhappy Cisco employees who wanted to bring big networking to the masses. However, what they quickly saw was how quickly networking and telephony were coming to merge. VoIP debuted in 1997 – even if it was unusable then, the proof of concept was there and waiting for companies to take up the challenge.

And they did.

Today, ADTRAN has emerged from the pack as the industry leader for small and medium-sized businesses looking at unified communications systems. These unified systems merge telephony into a larger virtualized system that integrates all your business communications. VoIP business phones turn your phone system into data, where it can benefit from all the possibilities of modern networking.

The Best Phone System For Small Businesses Looking Forwards

ADTRAN took their knowledge of networking and used it to design phone systems which are both easy for the individual to use, as well as being easy for your administrator to handle. Since the system is virtualized and Internet based, a single interface can be employed to control all your telephone systems, as well as the rest of the network.

Maintaining systems such as employee extension numbers is now simple. Extensions can be created, reassigned, or changed however you need within moments. Physically remote offices can still have integrated extension and messaging systems. Security can be upgraded as needed, with changes sent to the phones automatically by the network, anywhere connected to it.

As globalization becomes more important for small businesses, ADTRAN provides a unified solution that's ready to adapt to your business's own globalization strategies. Whether it's offices in Mumbai or a single representative making deals in China via videoconferencing, they'll never be out of touch.

ADTRAN Phone Systems Work With Your Small Business Now

Of course, for some of you, such plans may be years in the future – but why not lay the groundwork for them today? Even if all you need now is a set of well-constructed office telephones that can be relied upon for years, ADTRAN still has you covered. Their phone systems support VoIP and well as older copper wire services. When you upgrade to VoIP in the future, your phones will be ready to migrate with you.

That means fewer installation hassles, fewer disturbances to the employees, and less training. That's more money saved.

Plus, ADTRAN's networking equipment are constantly among the highest-quality in their field, yet often cost far less than their competitors. In terms of value-in-class, ADTRAN truly stands out for smaller firms looking to upgrade their communications.

Choose The Best Phone System For Small Business

The key to choosing the right phone system is to look for the one which will best meet your needs now, as well as being there to meet your future plans. ADTRAN offers both, in packages which are affordable for growing businesses.
