A Managed IP Telephone System uses your internet connection to make and receive calls, replacing traditional phone lines, fax machines and can transmit video calls and messaging. It transmits as data packets, which are then conveyed over the Internet.
It means clearer calls, lower running costs and more flexibility – especially for businesses with teams split across the office, remote working or on the move. Traditional phone lines such as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) are being phased out, and with newer, clearer, faster and better IP systems available, there’s no better time to update your communication system and future proof your business.
The best part about a managed IP telephony system is that everything is set up, monitored and supported by our in-house team, so you’re not left dealing with updates or troubleshooting on your own. You’ll also gain access to features that modern business telephone systems offer, like voicemail-to-email, call recording, mobile apps and CRM integrations, many of which usually cost extra with older systems.
We know that every business is unique, and that’s why we don’t do one-size-fits-all. At Birmingham Telecom, we tailor every managed IP system to suit the size, needs and workflow of your business, whether you’re a five-person start-up or a multi-site organisation. Get in touch to discuss the ideal setup for your business.
