When it comes time to relocate your business phone system, it also means that the entire phone system must be moved. On the outside, this can seem like a daunting task. To be honest, if you are ill-prepared to engage in this type of project, then, it absolutely can be. However, here are some expert tips to help you and your office staff start the telephone systems relocation process as quickly and as efficiently as humanly possible.
1. Make an honest evaluation of the capacity you will need from the new phone system.
Is the company getting bigger in size or could the system be downgraded? While there is nothing worse than trying to function with a phone system that has not grown with the company, there is also the no bigger waste of money than to pay for capacity and options which are not being used. See where the fat could be trimmed, as it were, and beef up in areas where there needs to be beefing. This will not only make the current employees happier on the job but it will also make your company stronger in the long run.
2. Shop around to different companies.
If the business is moving to another area of the state or to a different state altogether, there could be better deals from a different company versus your current provider. If another company is offering comparable services at a cheaper price, see if your current provider will match the price. Most will to avoid losing your business.
As you can see, there is no real reason to fear to move to the new office along with the new telephone system. When prepared, it can be quite easy and nothing to really worry about. Just make sure to ask all questions before committing to anything.
