Staying On Top Of Your Phone System Needs

by Brandon Davis | Feb 13, 2021 | Business Phone Systems, Office Equipment Support, Office Phone Systems

Regardless of what kind of business you run, chances are, you utilize phones at some point. Unless you are a high volume call center, however, you probably haven’t given your phone system much thought. While your particular business may not rely heavily on phones (or maybe it does!), having a phone system that is up to date, regularly maintained, and capable of handling your phone call needs, is crucial to your company’s success.

In this day and age, many technological advancements have been made, and phones have not been excluded from this progress. There are many solutions that exist for your hardware and software needs, and they can be tailored to fit what works best for your particular business. We know that you have a lot on your plate handling an entire business already, and staying on top of your phone system needs may not be at the top of your list of priorities. Luckily, we have a team of experts here to help you specifically with that. Let’s take a dive into just how important it is to stay relevant with your phone system. Learn more about ANAX’s phone system services here.

Importance of Staying Up to Date

Technology is constantly changing, and will be evolving forever. Humans are consistently coming up with better ways to accomplish things, and more effective ways to operate. Because of this ever-changing field of advancements, it can be easy to get left behind in the dust, especially when you are already juggling many other tasks. Updating your systems consistently, however, is the key to staying relevant to your clients, and to ensuring that you have the proper equipment to handle anything that may come up. There are two sides to keeping these systems up to date for your business, the hardware side and the software side.

Hardware

Phone system hardware refers to the physical equipment such as receivers or headsets. These items experience a certain amount of wear and tear from being handled and used on a daily basis. Any number of circumstances can cause these items to break or malfunction, so keeping them updated and switching them out with the latest and greatest hardware solutions prevents a catastrophe from occurring where none of the hardware works anymore.

Software

Phone system software comes into play when you are utilizing an internet-based phone operation, or one where there are not physical receivers for the phones, but is instead operated through computer software. Keeping this up to date is crucial, as there are often many bugs or glitches that are addressed in updates pushed out virtually.

How ANAX Can Help

However you have chosen to operate your phone systems, it is essential to ensure that the solutions you are implementing meet the needs for your company. If you have a high call volume, you want to make sure that your system is capable of handling multiple lines in use at once, and also has an effective way for sorting through calls in the queue.

We know that the world of phone systems can be quite overwhelming, and navigating these waters can be tricky, especially if it’s not your field of expertise. Our team of experts is well versed in these systems and can help you determine what the perfect solution for your business is. We also know that your needs as a company change over time, and we can help you adjust your phone system as needed. With ANAX, you never have to worry about your system going out of date, and if you experience any issues with your hardware or software solutions, we offer same day service and can have you up and running typically within a few hours, allowing for minimal downtime so your business can achieve optimal success.

New Year, New Equipment

How ANAX Can Help Get Your Devices Up and Running

When operating a business, you often utilize several different devices, all of which should be connected on the same network, all completing various tasks that keep your business running. Sometimes it comes time for these devices to be updated. These devices can aid in productivity and efficiency, as long as they are set up correctly, and they themselves are up to date. Initial configuration and connection of these devices can be overwhelming, especially for less tech-savvy business owners. At ANAX, we offer assistance with the setup of various devices, as well as making sure they all communicate with each other properly, and in some cases, can even perform regular maintenance on them as necessary.

Laptops

Some companies provide laptops to their employees. In some circumstances, certain programs and privileges need to be set up and established. It can be a hassle ensuring that all laptops are set up correctly, and the same way. In addition, firewalls and other malware protection may need to be put in place. ANAX can help with everything you need to do to get your employees’ laptops ready for distribution.

Cellular Devices

Likewise to employee laptops, companies sometimes allot work phones to their employees, so as to not require them to use their personal phones for their jobs. Setting these cell phones up to the same standards across the board, as well as within company guidelines, is something that ANAX can assist with, whether they are Android or Apple products.

Tablets

In many scenarios, tablets are replacing laptops, especially with the additional mobility that they provide. In other scenarios, tablets have been replacing POS systems, which has become increasingly popular for small businesses, as it is less of an initial investment than purchasing a more robust POS set up. ANAX can help set up your company tablets for how you are looking to use them, whether they are Android or Apple products.

Phone Systems

In a cloud-enabled, always-connected world, you can’t afford communication solutions that don’t keep up. At ANAX, we’ve built a reputation on delivering the best cloud solutions and onsite VoIP services to businesses in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and all over Southern Nevada. Regardless of business type or industry, existing infrastructure or budget, we’ll find the right fit for your phone needs. We can help get these phone systems set up, configured, and we can perform maintenance on them as necessary.

And More!

There are many devices that can be used in businesses, and each one comes with a unique set up process. Contact ANAX to see how we can help.

VoIP: What and Why?

by Brandon Davis | Aug 14, 2019 | Business Phone Systems, Cloud Services, Office Phone Systems, VoIP

At ANAX, we offer several solutions for your business and office needs. One of the services that we provide is cloud-hosted VoIP phone systems. This term has become more familiar to those in office spaces over the past couple of years, however, if you’re not as current with the phone trends, we’ll go over what exactly a VoIP is before we get into why you need it.

What is VoIP?

Traditional phones require direct connection via copper wires in order to make and receive calls. VoIP phones do not need this wire connectivity, and instead, function via internet connection. Because of the lack of need for wires, the mobility, interoperability, and connectivity of VoIP phones is nearly limitless.

Outdated, copper-wired, stationary phones are hardwired into a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) machine. This PBX device routes calls in and out, serving as the operator and middleman between phones. With VoIP phones, the PBX is no longer necessary, since calls are made via the internet, and not through the wires.

Why do you need VoIP?

In addition to simply staying relevant with the ever-changing technology, there are several reasons that your business would benefit from a VoIP phone system. As mentioned previously, traditional phone systems are wired into a PBX machine. Switching to VoIP phones eliminates the need for this, which can clear up office space for more important things.

VoIP phones operate via the internet, and only require access to the existing computer network cabling or the WiFi in order to complete calls. This eliminates the need for copper wiring, and means that no additional wiring needs to be installed should you decide to switch. Bonus, your phone number stays the same, so there are no additional fees to update that either (not to mention, no need to go through the headache of updating your phone number everywhere too!).

VoIP phones have many, many features that are simply impossible on a traditional phone. As we have already discussed, they are unchained from the copper cords, and operate on your existing internet connection. VoIP phone systems allow for users to link to their own accounts, instead of being tied to a singular phone number. With this feature, you can jump between multiple phone calls on an account at the same time.

VoIP allows for voicemails just as traditional phones do, however, they are more easily accessible, and often have advanced features. This new wave of phones has also experienced updates in audio quality and range, allowing you to listen further and understand more. Finally, VoIP phones can be set up for PoE. PoE stands for power over Ethernet, meaning that VoIP phones are able to be powered via a network cable, as opposed to being plugged into a traditional power socket.

As you can see, the benefits of VoIP are numerous, and making the change is quite simple. Contact us today to see how we can bring the benefits of VoIP to your business!

Keeping the Communication Lines Open

ANAX: Keeping the Communication Lines Open

Phone System Support & Automation

We live in a world that is constantly connected and relies on timely communication to keep businesses relevant and maintain relationships with your customers and clients. This makes it essential to have communications systems that keeps up with the technology trends and the demands of your clientele.

Elevate and Automate

Having an automated phone system, as well as third-party phone support, is an effective solution to problems that may arise with customer communications. You may have tried to get ahold of a local business to confirm their hours, ask a simple question, or schedule a service, and have been left hearing a never-ending ring, not being able to get in touch with the receptionist or other representative from the company until you have called multiple times. There’s nothing more frustrating as a customer than facing unnecessary difficulties trying to contact a company.

Likewise, it is equally as frustrating to be on the business end and watch your receptionist struggle to deal with masses of incoming calls and still try to maintain a professional demeanor and provide quality customer service. In situations like these, an automated phone service can provide unmanned aid to your receptionist(s), and can increase company efficiency, as well as timeliness in addressing customer questions and concerns.

Save Your Time and Money!

Though an automated phone system is not as personable as speaking with an actual representative, there are circumstances when it would be a waste to utilize employee time to answer simple questions, when those questions can be addressed within an automated system. Information such as business hours, location, or other answers to frequently asked questions can all be included, and can save your employees valuable time, as well as your money.

Another aspect to consider is if your company only has one receptionist, what happens when they are on break, or have a day off? Having an automated phone system can eliminate the additional stress that could be passed along to other employees if they were to become in charge of keeping up with calls on top of their regular daily job duties. This will save you from having to complete additional training with those employees as well, since the automated phone system can field calls and address commonly asked questions.
