Business Phone System History
For such a long time the traditional PBX phone
system was the only choice if you wanted a phone system that enabled your office
to have a switchboard. Being able to transfer calls from reception to any
department at the press of a button is essential for any company with more than
one member of staff. The PBX phone system was the only way of achieving this
goal and was also very expensive to purchase due to being completely hardware
based. With advances in technology happening on a daily basis, it was only going
to be a matter of time before the PBX business phone system became an inferior
business phone system for the office.
Business Phone System, The Present
The VOISpeed IP Phone System is a software
based business telephone system that runs on your PC or PC network that enables
your office to have an advanced phone system at a fraction of the cost of a
traditional PBX phone system. Although the IP phone system is far more
affordable than the old PBX phone system it is also far more capable due to
being software based and designed to perform in what we now call the information
age. IP business phone systems have an almost limitless amount of features and functions
and can be programmed to complete almost any task imaginable.
The VOISpeed IP phone system is truly an
amazing piece of kit and we hope you have a great time finding out all of the
great benefits as much as we have.
More importantly, we hope you enjoy reading
this VOISpeed IP phone system information website and are able to find what you

Why soft PBX?
You may be wondering why you would put a
specialised item such as a PBX into a PC?
Well, a PBX is just a computer which has been
designed to be a PBX. It uses unique (expensive cards) installed in to
controller board within the main unit running unique (expensive) software.
Should you need to add components such as voice mail, call divert, IVR's you'll
have to purchase additional cards to fit in the box. The card you buy will be
chosen or manufactured for your system. You will not be able to shop around for
different brands and will be certainly tied to a high price. The same also goes
should you need to change settings such as adding or removing a user, to do this
usually means paying an engineer to visit your premises and reprogram the unit.
If you now think about it another way..
You have probably noticed in the last 4 to 5
years the price of computers has dropped due to mass market, high competition
and better manufacturing. In using a PC, you will save a substantial amount of
investment and adding a software PBX program to it.
So, instead of making a special box to be a PBX
and writing software to run within it, why not just take an ordinary PC and
write software to make it a PBX? This means that you are purchasing mass market
products at prices that no hard PBX could match. Another reason is that hard
PBX's are based on per user licencing which means, one extension, one licence.
With VOISpeed once you have purchased the PBX
module you can add as many users as you wish for FREE. Voicemail, IVR's,
call divert are all included in the main unit with the software and a lot
cheaper to buy than a hardware card.
We are passionate about this system, we have seen
them working.. We can see what it can do for your business whether large or
small. It can and will grow with your business meaning your investment will be upgradeable
by software indefinitely and will not get to an age where it should be replaced
due to age or your company has outgrown it. When the PC needs upgrading to a
newer faster one with more storage it will cost around £500 as apposed to over
£4000 for a new hard PBX starter kit. Upgrade the PC and transfer the soft PBX
settings across and you have a newer faster system as a fraction of the price.
The other main advantage is that being a PC it
will be connected to your network. A soft PBX can send and receive calls via
your broadband connection thus allowing you access to the many SIP providers for cheap calls.
You can route outgoing calls for the best price at the time of day the calls is
made. You can then add your home users as native extensions to your system. By
using VPN, remote access and this system your employees can work at home like they were
in the office when they could be anywhere on earth.

Advantages over traditional PBX
There are so many advantages the VOISpeed IP
business phone system has over a traditional office business phone system. The
VOISpeed IP
Business business phone system can out perform most tasks a PBX business phone system
is capable
of and more, here's just a few of them.
Computerised Business Phone System
The IP business phone system is a computerised
business phone system so it has many advantages. Because it is software based it can be
fully integrated with a database, this feature alone enables you to to integrate
the IP business phone system with your customer database and allow automatic credit card
processing as well as data handling. This feature is truly fantastic, Every time
an existing customer phones their number is recognised or the receptionist types
in their reference number and is instantly given the customers full history,
displaying whatever information you want e.g. payment history and if monies are
outstanding, when the call is forwarded so is the information. This type of
function can also be integrated with a process ordering system so if a product
is requested, the recipient knows how many are left and the system can
automatically order more at the appropriate time.
Although this feature does not come with the VOISpeed IP business phone system and needs to be designed specifically for each company,
it is where the real advantages are. If your interested in using this type of
feature for your business you will need to find a database development company
that have the skill set required.
Work from home
If you can't get into the office, simply log onto the system remotely
from home. Your PC or laptop becomes a live extension of the system for you to
carry on working as if you were in the office. Receive calls, and make calls
internally and externally through your business PBX.
Conference business phone system
The VOISpeed IP business phone system can be used to
make conference calls between as many persons as you like. As long as each
person is logged on, all can be part of a conference call to outside of the IP
phone network.
Phone Answering System
The VOISpeed IP phone answering system is
incredibly versatile. Each member of staff can set up and record their own
personal message. When the receptionist answers a call from a customer
requesting to speak with someone specific but they are not at their desk, they
know by looking at the VCP that they are not available but can transfer the call
anyway. This enables the customer to hear the voice message and leave their own
message.
Now so far there is nothing here that a
traditional business phone system could not do, but if enabled the IP business phone system
will
record the message and then send it to the recipient via email. This feature is
simply great, if your away from the office you can keep up to date with what's
going on and choose to answer the most important calls. In the future you will
wonder who you ever copped with it.
Text Messaging
The text messaging feature on the VOISpeed IP business phone system
is a great tool that lets you send text messages to anyone
who is logged onto the phone network. The text messaging feature is fantastic, being
able to quickly ask questions to people in other departments or on another call
to get an answer
without even leaving your desk, saves a lot of time and money.
Advanced business phone system
The VOISpeed IP Business business phone system is a very advanced
business phone system. Because IP business phone systems use the latest available technology,
traditional business phone systems don't stand a chance and will become the business
business phone system of the past.
Software based business phone systems also have the advantage of not
being limited to the original specifications, unlike traditional hardware based
telephone systems. Being software based, the VOISpeed IP business phone system can be
programmed and integrated with database programs to create a fully integrated
office data handling solution.
Office Optimisation
The VOISpeed IP business phone system is one of the simplest business phone systems to configure and use, with some of its more basic features greatly
enhancing the time and resources needed to perform certain tasks. The instant
messaging alone can save plenty of time by keeping staff at their desks when
requesting information from other staff members. One of my favourite features is
the voicemail that automatically emails messages as soon they have been
recorded, you receive an email notification, click on the link and the message
is played.
Above are just some of the more basic features that help the
day to day operations required working in an office. This advanced business phone system
will not only save your business money because it is a more affordable option
but when the amount of time saved is combined together, will drastically
increase productivity.
Marketing Campaign Tracking
When running certain types of marketing campaigns, it can be
almost impossible to accurately track there performance. With the VOISpeed IP business phone system
you can set up a database that recognises different phone numbers
so you can use different phone numbers for each marketing campaign. The VOISpeed
IP business phone system database can then track the performance of each campaign,
producing a report demonstrating the exact number of leads obtained. Combine
this function into a order processing system and not only can tell what campaign
has generated the most leads but which has converted the most sales. This type
of functionality is worth its weight in gold and you are only limited by the
expertise of the developer you use to construct such advanced features.
Advanced Business Phone System Development
The VOISpeed IP business phone system can basically be programmed to
operate virtually any task imaginable, you are only limited by your imagination
and ability of your chosen application developer. The business phone systems advanced
features we used had been developed by Podium Solutions who have a dedicated
team of expert database development consultants who construct bespoke programs
to provide clients with tailor made IT solutions.
Advanced Features, if you can think of it, you can
probably do it
The VOISpeed IP business phone system comes with many advanced features
as standard that are far more advanced then traditional systems but combining
the business phone system with a quality application developer is where your company will
truly benefit and reap the rewards.

IP Business Phone System Features
There are so many features the VOISpeed
IP business phone system has over a traditional Business business phone system. The
VOISpeed IP business phone system can perform every task a PBX business phone system
is capable of
and more, here's just a few of them.
Switchboard business phone system
The VOISpeed IP business phone system has the ability
to act as a switchboard with as many receptionists and users as you need. Simply
select which persons you would like calls to be answered by e.g. your five
receptionists and all incoming calls are directed to them. The IP business phone system
can even let you choose things like how many times a persons phone rings before
diverting to your next choice of recipient. If your first choice is busy, the IP
business phone system automatically knows and diverts the call straight to your next
choice. When the call is answered by your desired member of staff, they can
forward the call to the desired department with just one click.
IP business phone system Virtual Control Panel
Because the main workings of the VOISpeed IP business phone system is software based, the majority of its functions are displayed
on your PC screen. The VOISpeed IP business phone systems Virtual Control Panel (VCP) automatically
pops up in a window on the users screen when a call is received. The VCP
(picture below) is very simple to use and looks just like a traditional business phone system. Some of the phones and headsets available to use with the
VOISpeed IP business phone system will also have some of the functions in-built. The VCP
is where you access the IP business phone systems features and main controls.

Adjusting things like sound and forwarding
calls onto other members of staff or different departments can all be operated
straight from the main VCP, as well as most other common functions you need.
More advanced options are accessed via a drop
down menu, which is where you can change all of the advanced business phone system
settings like who receives incoming calls, voice recording and auto attendant
e.g. press one sales, press two for accounts etc.
