For the smaller business, perhaps a home based business, or real estate office, church, insurance, chain store etc., consider a self manageable self contained phone system that works with VOIP providers, such as a Talkswitch PBX system. Systems made for small business are much different from those made by the traditional companies, think easy! Talkswitch works with business VOIP providers such a Broadvoice, CBeyond, and more. It also works to connect multiple branch offices via private VOIP, no provider needed. Works with analog phones you may have, or, IP phones, or, softphones. Also accepts regular land lines. To provide that professional image, music on hold, auto attendant, teleworker support, dial by name directory, and more are needed in many small businesses.
